Talk:Extraterrestrial life (popular culture)

message: "However, if real extraterrestrial life exists, few people expect to find humanoid characteristics, believing that this would be too great a coincidence given an entirely different evolutionary scale. Therefore, it is possible that alien life similar to humankind exists."
:Huh? Few people? are we talking about scientists or average people? Is there any basis for this statement? It seems like whoever wrote it is merely speculating. If it was more specific and had a reference it would help. Also, the second sentence makes no sense in this context. Why is it possible, because anything's possible? Foday 05:02, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I am familiar with several arguments on the subject (sorry, but I don't remember where I read them).  The most prevalent of the ideas states that alien life would probably not resemble life on Earth, due to the whole "random chance" thing.  However, the idea that aliens would have a humanoid form has remained popular, as it has been considered an "ideal" form - as certain steps which are commonly considered to be "essential" to the development of a spacefaring race (fire, writing, etc.) would require an agility that (on Earth) only exists in the Human form.  And it's easier for actors to portray humanoid aliens.  :P  --Tim4christ17 09:11, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Talk:The Witches of Karres

message: Does this book really fall into the [Space opera] category?  There is no romance, which seems to be one of the main characteristics of space opera.  According to the Space opera article, there is a wide range of definitions, but mainly romance or pulp fiction, of which this book is neither.
IMHO, the book seems pretty much pure science fiction. wrp103 (Bill Pringle)  (Talk) 18:15, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: This falls very much into the category of space opera. I realize I'm writing three years after you, but the space opera page clearly doesn't require romance (although it is present in a nascent form in the book), and does give examples that are quite similar to The Witches of Karres. I'd say that space opera is definitely one of the categories to which this book belongs. John Gamble (talk) 17:18, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

:5. whether he won any awards (he has a regional Emmy, but again, that's not mentioned here);
:6. why he was sacked (not 'terminated': that means 'killed').
At the moment, a whole lifetime is lightly skipped over in favour of a couple of sentences about his new website. If I was in a less generous mood, I would be inclined to nip over to WP:AfD and recommend delete as WP:SPAM. --die Baumfabrik 07:20, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Filmography 

message: I have removed the following sentence from the article because it is in substandard English and unclear in its intent:

"The Gospel"? There are four traditionally included in the text. Are all four to be read? Which "Christian filmmakers" ? What noun is the adjectival "word for word" (no caps) intended to modify? Under what auspices? Financed how? Intended for what kind of release? Also -  the passive "is seen" has no justification here.

message: Those who use 'architectonics,' as far as I know, would not really point to a building like the Dancing House by architect Frank Gehry.
