Thought dead, an astronaut is left behind on Mars and desperately tries to stay alive and communicate with home.
Not exactly in the caliber of so many other science fiction films, but it’s lighthearted and generally decent.

A failure of a delivery boy is frozen for a thousand years, where in the year 3,000 he’s an interstellar delivery boy who continues to fail a lot.
A hilarious and intelligent show, with many subtleties. Watch an episode or three, and if you’re interested then you’ll enjoy the rest. Highly recommended.
I watched a couple of seasons before my interest petered out. I want to do other things with my time.

The last of a powerful race tours time and space, regularly ending up in trouble.
Playful fun. Occasionally attempts to glide past some significant issues with time travel but is generally bubblegum. Doesn’t take itself too seriously. Recommended until it goes woke.

Though I had seen a few episodes from earlier, I’m now watching since the 2005 reboot.

A must-watch for science fiction / space fans.

While doing everyday things in space, debris tears through everything leaving survivors on a desperate yet somehow extremely slow-paced race to survive.
Not memorable in any way. Do not watch.

The idea behind the Drake equation is to put the vastness of the universe beside the probability of contact with aliens.
The idea is deceptive — the universe is large, so it has so many planets, so the possibilities become probabilities and then become absolutes, right?
Wrong.

This is a generally crappy game. Several elements of gameplay are annoying, or take too many clicks or whatever. Sigh.
