Just an ordinary guy born into a Colombian family. Into SF (not Sci Fi) since I could see Trek. In my early teens got heavily into literary SF. (he/him)

I think they have the vibes of the original stories, though they are some plot choices they made on the show I go "huh".
Overall I good with the show.
I got my posts ,mixed up I see it was you that put the limit on the big three and Bradbury, not Scalzi. My apologies.

Someone said it was the doctor that persuaded the family to hide his cause of death IIRC.
I mis-read as 50s or earlier.
If we follow Scalzi's limit (none of the big three) first thing that comes to mind is Arena by Frederic Brown.
I read that again when it was up for the Retro Hugo and did not remember anything that aged it.
Of the top of my head, The Stars My Destination though I understand why people have issues with it.
I read it when I was 16 before I knew the similarities with the Count of Monte Cristo.
Not everyone wants to look at the history of the field.
My birtday,cool.

Do you know something that we don't?
