WB post 5

Dear Student of next Semester,

As I look back on this class I am actually quite proud of myself and how my writing ability has improved. I was worried about writing about for a public audience but after writing out many blogs I have become quite comfortable with it. If you are unsure about writing for an audience then this class will definatly be beneficial for you. You will be required to watch certain episodes of different T.V shows and then blog about them. At first I was unsure about blogging because I have never done it before but after writing out a few I actually started to enjoy it. It allows you to express your thoughts on different subjects and really state how you feel. It also allows you to read other people's blogs and see their opinions on different subjects.
In order to be successful in the assignments for English 110 make sure you listen in class and understand the assignments. If you are unsure about something then ask the teacher and be sure to check the daily schedule. Another important note is to stay on top of your work and don't put it off. If you leave things to the last minute then it makes it difficult to do them well. I'm sure you will enjoy English class as long as you stay on track and understand the assignments.

Good luck!

Farscape

I didn't really know what to expect when I heard we were watching farscape because i have never heard of it before. However, when we started watching it I actually really enjoyed it. It had a really creative plot that caught my attention right from the beginning. I wasn't expecting the spacecraft to get taken in by the black hole and transfered to a completely different galaxy. i thought it was interesting how the show differed from most Sci Fi shows we have watched because it started off in present day. The man from earth whose spaceship got taken in by the black hole is now lost in another galaxy. I liked that there was someone from earth who got caught up in this new place because it gives the audience something to relate to. We got to see how the man reacted when he first saw the aliens which was entertaining because I'm sure most people wonder how they would react if they ever saw an alien. I really liked watching this episode compared to other Sci Fi shows we have watched because I found it was quite creative. I have definatly become more interested in Science Fiction after watching shows I have never seen before like Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

STNG

I thought this episode was somewhat interesting. I have never watched Star Trek in class and I still don’t find that I am really interested in this type of science fiction. This episode was different from the original Star Trek in that the characters are slightly different. BSG is different from Star Trek as well because the robots in BSG were evil and did not share a good relationship with humans. The robots in BSG looked exactly like humans and were able to disguise themselves. These shows defiantly make me wonder what life will be like with robots in the future because each show gave us a different perspective.
