| Our next Face the Fiction.... Masters of Science Fiction (DVD) and Readings Join us for a fun event and favorite - Open Readings - with a DVD viewing of Masters of Science Fiction to start things off. We will begin the afternoon with Masters of Science Fiction (DVD). Hosted by Professor Stephen Hawking, Masters of Science Fiction contains celebrated short stories from the world's most highly regarded science fiction writers. "From the very beginning, we have struggled to understand time, matter and the infinite universe; who we are, where we are headed, and if we are alone. Great minds — and some of the genre’s most legendary writers and directors — have now imagined the most wonderful and terrifying answers to these questions. Join host Professor Stephen Hawking for these six expeditions into the outer realms of scientific imagination, starring such award- winning actors as Sam Waterston, Judy Davis, Anne Heche, Malcolm McDowell, Clifton Collins Jr., Terry O’Quinn, Elisabeth Röhm, John Hurt, Sean Astin, James Denton, Brian Dennehy, James Cromwell and more.This collection features all six episodes of the acclaimed series, including the two ‘lost’ episodes — Little Brother and Watchbird — never broadcast during its original network run." The afternoon will begin with a viewing of episodes Masters of Science Fiction, a series adapting science-fiction stories by well-known authors into 60 minute episodes, introduced by renowned physicist Stephen Hawking. Stories filmed included those of science fiction authors Robert Heinlein & Robert Sheckley, historical novelist Howard Fast and mystery novelist Walter Mosley, and starring some genre favorites. We will view: Season 1, Episode 4: The Discarded Directed by Jonathan Frakes Based on a short story by seven-time Hugo Award winner, three-time Nebula Award winner and Science Fiction Grand Master Laureate Harlan Ellison ("A Boy and His Dog," "Star Trek"). Story of despised minorities forever adrift in the darkness of outer space. As a last resort born out of their loneliness and despair they are forced to make an ominous pact with those responsible for their plight, in the hope that they will finally be offered refuge at home on Earth. *Next episode will be viewer’s choice.* Following the viewing, we will have readings performed by group members. The selection is reader’s choice and can be a quote, short story, paragraph or original work. If you prefer not to read, you can enjoy the selections. Dining will follow the event.
