History has been kinder to Churchill than many of his contemporaries ever were. Some may be surprised to learn that the following luminary from the field of science-fiction had anything political to say at all 'Winston Churchill, the present would-be British Fuehrer, is a person with a range of ideas limited to the adventures and opportunities of British political life. He has never given evidence of thinking extensively, or of any scientific or literary capacity.... His ideology, picked up in the garrison life of India, on the reefs of South Africa, the maternal home and the conversation of wealthy Conservative households, is a pitiful jumble of incoherent nonsense. A boy scout is better equipped. He has served his purpose and it is high time he retired upon his laurels before we forget the debt we owe him....'

It's really more intellectual and very smart. And I think what Oliver is intending to do is something people haven't seen before, and that always excites me.
Nathan Fillion, who moves from the bridge of the spaceship Serenity to the science-fiction horror movie Slither , told SCI FI Wire that the latter will be a return to old-fashioned splatter films. There's stuff blowing up. There's some nasty stuff. There's some sliming, ... There's a lot of prosthetics. We leaned away from the CGI and leaned towards the prosthetics as an homage to the horror movies of yesteryear. Our creatordirector, James Gunn, said it will be the last time he ever does that.

What the hell is nostalgia doing in a science-fiction film With the whole universe and all the future to play in, Lucas took his marvelous toys and crawled under the fringed cloth on the parlor table, back into a nice safe hide hole, along with Flash Gordon and the Cowardly Lion and Luke Skywalker and the Flying Aces and the Hitler Jugend. If there's a message there, I don't think I want to hear it.
It's not really science-fiction, ... It's the world 30 years from now, a time in which for 18 years no human child has been born, for unknown reasons. Civilizations are falling apart.

So the story takes place in that context. It's a story about hope and faith.
I'm not really a science-fiction fan, I quite like the idea of getting away from the science-fiction side of it, for two episodes. It was lovely, it was a super story and great fun.
