I raved about "Moon" last summer, and I also told you about how emotionally effective "Waters of Mars" was. Both of these productions go beyond fluffy fun to consider some Big Ideas such as the meaning and worth of an individual human being ("Moon") and the temptation to power that acknowledges no limit ("Waters of Mars"). Both of them are riveting examples of writing and storytelling, even as they will probably twist your insides as they did mine. They will give you chills. Kudos too to the actors who made the stories work -- Sam Rockwell as Sam Bell and David Tennant as the Doctor.

2010 Hugo Awards Recognize Sci Fi Achievements: Congrats to "Moon" and the Doctor
The winners of the 2010 Hugo Awards have been announced, and I am delighted that two of my favorite sci fi productions of 2009 were among them: "Moon" for Best Dramatic Presentation (Long Form) and the Doctor Who episode "The Waters of Mars" for Best Dramatic Presentation (Short Form). Yes indeedy -- Hugo and I have excellent taste!
