A Novel Idea. haha punny... (updated)


Here're some ideas I was having. They've been floating around and I want to scrawl them down. Some of it's rubbish, but altogether, it might be interesting.

  • You know the gangers from Doctor Who? Or the Cylons? If a person is killed, they can regenerate, download, into a new body. That's the Cylons. The gangers are similar, but they eventually become separate entities from their originals. They can morph forms. Kinda nasty.

  • Stuff happening on crazy other planets. Like Pandora or whatever Alien and Prometheus took place on. Planets that are large, scary, and unearthly, to be totally cliché.

Alien

  • We had a lesson in G&T today about love. Here's a snippet. If you had a really close friend named Aleksander and suddenly an evil magician came down and killed Aleksander and almost instantly replaced him with a perfect replica of Aleksander, right down to emotions and memories, would you love the new Alek or would you mourn the old one?
    • According to Plato, the new Alek is the same as old Alek, and so nothing is lost. New Alek reflects the same beauty as old Alek, has the same skills, the same memories, the same feelings. nothing is lost or added.
    • But we still mourn old Alek, do we not? Most people reject Plato's idea here. 
  • So, the idea is replacing people without replacing people.
I don't know where else to go from here. I'll come up with it at some point. Have a lovely St. V's day. I'll tag all stuff related to this "Rayner." Don't worry about the meaning, just go with it, s'il vous plait.

Ok, new stuff

  • Political scandals. Bill and Monica. Laura and Richard. In the office late at night...
Laura and Richard

  • Places in the middle of nowhere. Wyoming. Just kidding. Places like Grace's lab from Avatar. Very concise and compact.
