Andrew RoachAlright Cybre.space, are you all down for talking about weird early science fiction?
Because that's what I want to do.
Like, 1902 scifi. Can we talk about scifi from 1902?
John Ward@ajr what's scifi from 1902? HG Wells? Jules Verne? I don't think Lovecraft was publishing until the 20's or so. Maybe 30's. Ah, now, I see you're talking about movies. Yes, I've seen Trip to the Moon. Years ago.
@jlward Wells and Verne were both active around that time, yeah.
George Griffith, too.
Oz has some scifi elements in it, if you want to make the stretch. The first in that series came out in 1900.
I don't think Burroughs started doing scifi until sometime after 1910.
John Astor also published a scifi novel around that time, I believe.
@jlward But yeah, most of the fun stuff in scifi starts in the 1910s and 1920s.
I really should catalog the stuff I have that's older than that. I don't know it as well as the later stuff.
Chris@chrismartin @jlward I don't think I could handle another alt right now, but there are days when I can talk about sicfi for hours.
@chrismartin @jlward Ooh, reminds me of stuff!

Space Patrol was an early scifi TV show. One of the first, and it's actually pretty good.
Space Patrol Orion was a German series that premiered around the same time as Star Trek:TOS. Also pretty good.
Both are on youtube for free.
@chrismartin @jlward I got a million of 'em.
(Well, a couple hundred, at least.)
