Where Is Xur? Week 8 Location, Exotic Weapons And Armor (Oct 26-30)

While SyFys new showNightflyersshares the same creator as the behemoth that is HBOsGame of Thrones, beard enthusiast and lapsed author George RR Martin is really where the similarities between the two shows begin and end. While Game of Thrones trades in fantasy spectacle and high stakes soap opera intrigue,Nightflyersaims directly for horror, and from what we saw at the world premiere screening of the shows first episode during New York Comic Con this week, it looks like its dipping into the best of both classic and recent sci-fi horror films in its attempt to deliver on its scary premise.

Thats not to say, however, thatNightflyersis all reference and no substance. Theres enough tension and intrigue in this pilot to make it seem like the 10-episode run of the show will be a worthwhile watch, and there are plenty of mysteries (both with characters and plot) that will leave you wanting to know more. Just why does the ships captain Roy Eris only ever appear as a hologram? Why does he have cameras installed all over the ship? What is the ultimate goal of lead scientist Karl DBranin, and why is he keeping secrets from the crew entrusted to transport him to his ultimate goal?

Enter the Nightflyer, a huge ship which serves as home for hundreds of crew, and its latest mission: to escort a group of scientists to the alien vessel, who then plan to use a human telepath as a last-ditch attempt to establish a dialogue with the aliens that may hold the key to humanitys survival. Of course, things go awry from the moment the Nightflyer leaves Earths orbit.

Where To Do Ascendant Challenge In Destiny 2 — Oct. 23-30 Video Location Guide

That premise stems from a novella written by GRR Martin in the early 1980s. The year is 2093, and humanity is in trouble. Although settlements seems to have been made within the solar system (or at least on the Moon, according to a quick scene we glimpsed in the pilot episode), Earth desperately needs new resources. On the edge of the solar system, humans detect an alien vessel, but all attempts to communicate with it have been met with silence so far.

The Insane Production Behind One Of Gamings Biggest Shows

If you think that set-up sounds reminiscent of other trapped-on-a-ship-in-deep-space films likeEvent HorizonorSunshine, then youd be right on the money.Nightflyers, at least from its first episode, looks like its happy to emulate the best space thrillers of the last 50 years, using familiar tropes and even specific visual imagery to elicit deep reactions. Claustrophobic metal corridors that suddenly become empty and menacing as a character walks through?Nightflyershas it. Creepy hallucinations that set the entire crew on edge? Check? Strange children who may or may not be dead suddenly appearing out of nowhere? For sure. Theres even a direct visual nod to one of the most famous jogging scenes in sci-fi history included in this first episode (Ill let you guess which one).

Destiny 2 — Wanted: Silent Fang Powerful Gear Bounty (Oct. 23-30 Video Guide)

ButNightflyersbest moments in this first episode stem from how the show treats human telepaths. People with psychic abilities in the world ofNightflyersare treated like extremely dangerous criminals, sedated for most of their waking hours and tucked away in remote locations lest they cause havoc on the population. So of course, the fact that one of the strongest telepaths ever is being brought on board sets tensions within the entire crew high, and the show milks it thanks to the creepy performance of actor Sam Strike as the telepath Thale. Thale is being set up as an extremely powerful and perhaps malicious character, although the mysterious events on the Nightflyer may not all be his doing.
