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.

Well, I promised all of you that I would make a TV station for SE, and I did. I present to you, S.E. TV!
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

Anything in particular you guys want me to put on it? I'm looking for somewhere I can download the two episodes of Alien Worlds I've seen, but I've not found it as of yet. I have a full episode of Cosmos though.

I now understand the evolutionary history of life. :D
I wish I could give the public a true picture of the queen as she appeared at her best, but this would be impossible, even had she permitted a photograph to be taken, for her charming play of expression while in conversation, the character and intellect which were then revealed, were only half seen when the face was in repose. -Lilias Underwood when speaking of Empress Myeongseong

"I was born in the dark. I went out into the light, and your Majesty, it is my displeasure to inform you that I have returned to the dark. I envision a Seoul of towering buildings filled with Western establishments that will place herself back above the Japanese barbarians. Great things lie ahead for the Kingdom, great things. We must take action, your Majesty, without hesitation, to further modernize this still ancient kingdom."-Min Young-ik to Empress Myeongseong

This is actually pretty good. Maybe put bits of the future is wild from google videos in?

...Oh man, suddenly I feel the urge to animate some SE creatures and make a flash show, just for the sake of the TV idea.

I can upload videos or get them from YouTube. If the search engine was a little more advanced, I could find more full episodes of Cosmos. Full episodes; 59 minutes long.

UPDATE:

I'm working on it. Sorry, believe it or not, the process to get shows on the tv is time consuming. I have to search through up to 200 youtube videos at a time; paying attention to the length, topic, quality, and language.

And I'm thinking of showing a movie on it some time. So the question becomes; what movie and what time? I was thinking 2001: A Space Odyssey, but I don't know.


Like I said, I need suggestions.

By movie, do you mean it has to be SE related, or can it be any random movie?

I suppose he means science fiction/fantasy movie which has clear relation to speculative biology.

Well I suppose it doesn't have to be related to speculative biology, but it makes little sense to show something like Fear and Loathing in Los Vegas on an internet TV station dedicated to speculative biology.
