    A King's Task Chapter One Critique for mistakes please

    Hello, I think 'pony tail' should be one word. In the same vein I'd prefer 'sing-song' to 'sing songy' The 'Ret' bit threw me as well. If you start mixing 'r' and 'l' up then it can end up sounding like an oriental caricature. The paragraph 'It had been for handling the forbidden parts of...

    Young writer looking for advice

    Hello, good stuff, one thing though, if writing from the point of view of cats is the use of colour in descriptions. I believe cats have some colour vision, but not as much as us. You might want to read up on it. The same mistake was made in Watership Down with rabbits! Cheers

    30.03: Planet of the Ood

    I thought it was one of the better episodes. As the monster was a corporation and the 'monsters' were the victims. How many people were expecting the ood to be the bad guys. I agree with chopper, it was nice to give the Ood a neat ending. I thought the special effects - well the views of the...

    Human Evolution: Where to Now?

    There was a satirical film out recently (can't remember what it was called) in which someone woke up from suspended animation or something and found he was the cleverest person on the planet. The theory being that stupid people had bred more.

    2.09: Something Borrowed

    A good episode. And they made all the guests forget the events! So wouldn't they wonder what happened to the dead man. He was there and then suddenly disappeared. If you think about it, it just wouldn't work. Everyone would be forgetting the same parts of the day.

    Bionic Woman - ITV2

    Re: Bionic Woman Anyone It was okay, nothing special. I felt they tried to cram too much into one episode.

    2.08: A Day in the Death

    As Dave said, I was sitting throught this episode, thinking, if he can't breath (and Owen proves the point at one point) how can he speak? I do wish people who write Sci-fi on telly would think things through. It seems to be that muscles that Owen has conscious control over still work, while...

    Led by a Virgin Queen

    Hello, I'm not a bee-keeper. Though I'd imagine that the worst thing that could happen to a bee-keeper is that all the bees leave or die.

    My SF Story - Destinies Dawn.

    Can I just restress a couple of points already been made. The chances of hitting something by accident in the asteroid belt are really small. Don't forget that both Voyagers and the Pioneer Spacecraft and everything else that's visted anything from Jupiter and beyond, all managed to cross it...

    Has anybody ever left the theater in the middle of a movie because it was so bad?

    The only film I walked out of was Disney's Tarzan. I took my daughter to see it (first film she's been to see at the cinemea) and she found it too scary and we had to leave. Mind you the trailer for Gladiator didn't help!

    Led by a Virgin Queen

    Names, I don't feel I could give advice. Though would bee-like individuals have names? Best using what you're comfortable with!

    Led by a Virgin Queen

    Hello again, I agree much better, you have done your homework. A few points that you may or may not want to change. left wing brushes the water I don't think a bee would ever let a wing touch water, it implies a more gliding flight than the constant wing beats a bee needs. The sun will...

    2.03: To the Last Man

    When Tommy explained to 1918 Torchwood that they had to take him away from upstairs I thought they seemed to get the idea of what to do fairly quickly, especially when it seemed like ghosts were talking. 'Oh that means we have to put him in one of the cryogenics things and wake him up each...

    how much dialogue do you thnik?

    Whatever feels right! Of course the difficulty I have is trying to put different personalities into different character's voices.

    Has first evidence of another universe been seen?

    I never claimed it to be true. It's entirely questionable, I made it up, (though I did see something on the telly on string theory once).

    Led by a Virgin Queen

    The point I was trying to make is that bees (and ants and wasps) are more related to their sisters instead of their daughters (usually it is equal). And because of this they have evolved to raise sisters instead of daughters and thus forgo their own reproduction. It is only in the Hymeroptera...

    Led by a Virgin Queen

    Creationists often have standard answers to things, so when you give them a whole new arguement for evolution, one they haven't heard before, they can't answer it. I was once a member of a cryptozoology forum, and they had a lot of creationists as members, there was a section of the forum for...

    Has first evidence of another universe been seen?

    Off on a totally different tack, here's my "proof" of parrallel universes. Dark matter! Dark matter! I hear you say how does that prove parrallel universes? Well dark matter is just ordinary matter in neighbouring universes whose gravitational forces are leaking into ours. So why doesn't...
