DID YOU KNOW?
These characters are too often found in science fiction. In fact, it’s almost as if a big chunk of this genre lies heavily on the shoulders of these creatures. They’re called robots. Often, they have become sources of humor or unexpected wisdom especially in cinematic classics like Star Wars or Big Hero 6 or in most cases, in sci-fi TV shows on Netflix. But do we actually know who coined the term “robot”? Its etymology is something that definitely sparks interest. Is it an anagram? Is it an acronym? Does it actually stand for something? Well, did you know that in 1921, Karl Capek, a playwright at the time in Czech used the word “slave” in their language to derive the term?
The play was called Rossum’s Universal Robots or R.U.R. It was a tale about robot men who were mechanized to become laborers of human capitalists. Soon enough, the laborers revolted and tried to overthrow their masters. The play had its groundbreaking debut in Prague and eventually found its way in the Big Apple. It stirred a storm in the genre, not only for Capek’s vision but also for the pivotal ripple it left in the industry. Although this may not be the first time for the sci-fi show industry to be introduced with antagonized robots, it certainly is an important milestone in terms of language. But don’t worry, not all robots were made to revolt, some were made to become docile cleaners of your home and some are meant to be crafted by you on different robot building games.

Operatives have been sent back in time to keep society from collapsing. I like the characters and the idea that these operatives, or travelers, can change time."

Travelers - #2December 12, 2017"I love my Netflix and this show is one reason why. The story is compelling and makes me want to binge watch the whole season, but it is so good, I don't. If you like Mind hunter and Stranger things, you'll love this show."

Dark - #3December 19, 2017"Star Trek is a great choice for Sci-Fi shows on Netflix, but in my opinion, there are many better options out there in 2017. Star Trek is a classic, but there are more modernized sci-fi shows today."

Star Trek: The Original Series - #4December 10, 2017"A solid choice for Sci-Fi fans, this has a good looking story line. Does not seem to be as popular as "stranger things", that may be an alternative if this doesn't appeal to you."

Sense8 - #5December 11, 2017"This is the strangest show I have ever seen. It's a British Sci-fi show with a Tales from the Darkside feel to it. Can't wait to see the next episode."
