Tuesday the Fifth (and also the twentieth)

Hey y'all. It's kind of Tuesday. Which is pretty sweet.

Anyways, this week's topic is travel. Now, since I hate traveling in a tourist sense, I decided I would use this topic as an excuse to talk about travel through time and space.

Now, since time and pace travel IRL will most likely always suck. It's true. Granted, that's mostly because we never can time travel (at least according to the laws of the universe as we understand them), or travel at faster than light speeds (which renders space travel stupid), but who needs reality. I'm here to talk about the greatest time and space travel stories of all time.

Now, in terms of british time/space travel shows, the obvious choice is Doctor Who. Everyone loves the Doctor and his TARDIS. However, I'm not really for talking about that right now. What I wanna tell y'all about is Red Dwarf. Red Dwarf is one of the greatest sci-fi shows ever created. Here's the plot, the trailer, the theme, and an awesome clip (which is worth waiting through the intro for).

Now, as a sci fi fan, I am completely obligated to talk about the epic space travels of the crew of the USS Enterprise. I mean, what can get more travel-y than Star Trek? They were at a different crazy ass planet every week, having crazy ass adventures. Who wouldn't want to travel with the crew of the Enterprise?

And how can I talk about space travel without mentioning Galaxy Quest? I mean, /come on/. It produced the most amazing line of all time. Also, it's about the cast of a Star Trek-y show actually traveling across the galaxy. What more do you want?

Now, I should probably get to TV DIRT, huh? How about some Science Fiction-Double Feature? It's all about traveling to the theatre to see terrible sci-fi movies. Which is totally relevant to the theme, yeah? I thought so.

And Today in History?

Well, Apollo 11 landed on the goddamned moon. How fucking cool is that?

Have some answers...

1) I never want to visit the 14th century. It had all that plague.

2) Least favourite trip? Mars. It was awful and dry and hot and the Martians were all quite cranky.

3) Coolest thing? I chilled with the Serenity crew when I hitched a ride with them to Ariel.

...and some questions:

1) If you could travel to any time period, which one would it be?

2) What fictional planet would you travel to?

3) Favourite time travel/ space travel movie?
