| Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web. While unregistered users are able to browse the forum on a basic level, registering an account provides additional forum access not visible to guests as well as the ability to join in discussions and contribute yourself!

No if you can't see them they can't see you. This is basic stuff Holben, I'm surprised you don't know that already. |

as for SCARY - I am old enough to remember seeing the first appearance of the Macra (sapient crabs) around 1966, my mum and dad had taken the rental black and white TV into their bedroom, and let me watch Dr Who (Patrick Troughton - 2nd doctor - was also in Omen I movie) being attacked by a giant crab - I WAS TERRIFIED!!! maybe that explains why me and my brother tortured crabs and jellyfish and cephalopods if they came into our grasp when we were young?![]() if anyone's interested, the Station was NBN 3, or ABC5... Newcastle (NSW) Regional (just north of Sydney - if you were "rich" you could fit an antenna and pick up 4 more Sydney stations). My dad worked at NBN 3... but he gave up that lucrative media position to take his 4 children on the hippy backpacking trail - he had a great time - so did I , but it was sheer hell for my poor mum...

There's only one thing left to destroy then... The Doctor himself. |

We should all aspire to die surrounded by our dearest friends. Just like Julius Caesar. "The Lord Universe said: 'The same fate I have given to all things from stones to stars, that one day they shall become naught but memories aloft upon the winds of time. From dust all was born, and to dust all shall return.' He then looked upon His greatest creation, life, and pitied them, for unlike stars and stones they would soon learn of this fate and despair in the futility of their own existence. And so the Lord Universe decided to give life two gifts to save them from this despair. The first of these gifts was the soul, that life might more readily accept their fate, and the second was fear, that they might in time learn to avoid it altogether." - Excerpt from a Chanagwan creation myth, Legends and Folklore of the Planet Ghar, collected and published by Yieju Bai'an, explorer from the Celestial Commonwealth of Qonming Tree That Owns Itself

But we've got one more regeneration after Matt. Speaking of early evening British science fiction drama, Primeval is back. |

Yay! Although I think they're using a few too many Cretaceous reptiles... and Spinosaurus didn't live on the same continent as Utahraptor. |

It's clear they don't know what the raptors are, so they could be from anywhere. I'd guess that it's South America, as Spinosaurs probably lived there. It's good to remember that characters in TV programs aren't omnipotent, and just because they say something does not mean it's true in universe. I expect most of the time they just generalise and give what they find a name for convinces. Rarely do they get to properly study what come though. Also, remember that nobody in the team is a palaeontologist, let alone one specialised in whatever falls though time. |
