Cancer Posted June 4, 2020 Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 Probably the beginning. When Ivanova tries to off him during the series ... wait, isn't that supposed to be another pick in this draft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played Richard III with five curtain calls! For my fanfic purposes, is this Dr. Lazarus from the Galaxy Quest series or Alexander Dane playing Lazarus and duping everyone into thinking he knows something about science? You credited Lazarus, but you also mention him playing Richard III. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted June 4, 2020 Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 For the sake of everyone onboard, let's go with the actual Dr. Lazarus character and not Alexander Dane playing Dr. Lazarus or Alan Rickman playing Alexander Dane playing Dr. Lazarus. Although you can't go wrong with maximum Alan Rickman. What other SF has he been in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted June 5, 2020 Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 I admit that Startide Rising is one of my favorite sci-fi stories, period. Facilities for the fully aquatic members of the crew will be among my subsequent picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L. Marcus Posted June 5, 2020 Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 Both Uplift trilogies are very much worth reading, but Startide Rising is my favorite of the six. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sociotard Posted June 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 I really do think uplift would be a fun idea for a television adaptation. Just the setting, with some elements from the series as season arcs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
