Science Fiction On Television
Science fiction first appeared in television programming in the late 1930s, during what is called the Golden Age of Science Fiction.

Faction Paradox
''Faction Paradox'' is a series of novels, audio stories, short story anthologies, and comics set in and around a "War in Heaven", a history-spanning conflict between godlike "Great Houses" and their mysterious enemy. The series is named after a group originally created by author Lawrence Miles for BBC Books' ''Doctor Who'' novels. Overviews Originally a subplot in the Eighth Doctor Adventures, the War involves several characters and concepts evolved from the original ''Doctor Who'' set-up. In several cases, the ''Faction Paradox'' series still features these groups, albeit with names changed for reasons both literary (most of the groups or items mentioned are described from different perspectives) and legal (the Faction and the Enemy are Miles's creations, but other elements are not – thus the Great Houses are the Faction Paradox range's equivalent to ''Doctor Whos Time Lords). Faction Paradox themselves are ''not'' the enemy in this War, and play a neutral part, willing to act ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Regeneration (Doctor Who)
In the long-running British science fiction television series '' Doctor Who'', regeneration is a biological ability exhibited by the Time Lords, a race of fictional humanoids originating on the planet Gallifrey. This process allows a Time Lord to undergo a transformation into a new physical form and a somewhat different personality after instances which would normally result in death. Regeneration has been used multiple times throughout the history of the show as a device for introducing a new actor for the lead role of its main character, the Doctor. Other Time Lords and similar characters have also regenerated, usually for narrative reasons, rather than casting. The current and fourteenth incarnation of the Doctor is played by David Tennant, following the regeneration of the Thirteenth Doctor (portrayed by Jodie Whittaker) during the special episode "The Power of the Doctor". Conceptual history Inspiration The concept of regeneration was created in 1966 by the writers of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
K-9 (Doctor Who)
K9, occasionally written K-9, is the name of several fictional robotic canines (dogs, the name being a pun on the pronunciation of "canine") in the long-running British science fiction television series '' Doctor Who'', first appearing in 1977. K9 has also been a central character in three of the series' television spin-offs: the one-off ''K-9 and Company'' (1981), ''The Sarah Jane Adventures'' (2007–2011) and '' K-9'' (2009–2010). Although not originally intended to be a recurring character in the series, K9 was kept in the show following his first appearance because he was expected to be popular with younger audiences. There have been at least four separate K9 units in the series, with the first two being companions of the Fourth Doctor. Voice actor John Leeson has provided the character's voice in most of his appearances, except during season 17 of ''Doctor Who'', in which David Brierley temporarily did so. The character was created by Bob Baker and Dave Martin, to wh ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
