Extra Credits H.P. Lovecraft? You’ve talked about him before on Credits, but could you talk about his works on this? I know you said that you already had stuff planned, but please do this.
I realize you're only just getting started with this branch of the Extra Credits family, but when you get a bit further along in the history of Sci-Fi, and how it relates to our development as a society, and the growth of our science... please don't forget about Star Trek, and the many real world devices, technologies, and techniques that exist today because young potential scientists, engineers, and designers were inspired by what they saw there. Science fiction can not only make us wonder at and love science, it can also lead to some of it's most inspiring concepts becoming realities.
It wouldn't surprise me if "inmate" had different connotations back in the day, but it's still appropriate in any era (at least, to certain segments of the era's populace).
And even to everyone. None of us is human by choice. We all are inmates in the house of man. Trapped by our bodies, by our biology. And yet we strive for more. For freedom. For Meaning. For so many things small and big. And in the end, this is what Sci-Fi does. It strives for so many things humanity cares for. It is, in its very core. Human. It too is an inmate of the house of man. Bound through the being of its writers.
It is also a new wave subgenre from the 80s, among new romantics are A-ha, Ultravoxx, Human league, talk talk, adam ant, a flock of seagulls and Alphaville.
David Hueso deserves a shoutout for that art. Sublime Frankenstein's monster was sublime. Some really stand up work to portray the whole alien nature of the genre. Great episode as always. Will we get into some of the classical work Frankenstein's monster read?
Okay so we studied the romantics and Frankenstein in a big two month unit on Frankenstein in school and the *two* videos you guys have made have already left me with a level of understanding a million times greater.
Really digging the sci-fi stuff, guys! :D Also, can you tell your artist to take it easy? They're going way above and beyond the call of duty lol. Very nice stuff
We're very invested in our artists' amazing work as well as their self-care needs! We've already traveled back in time to relay your message to them ;)
For some reason I thought Wordsworth was saying if Science ever managed to create intelligent, sentient life, it would be the poet's duty to welcome this new form of life with open arms.
Got a little teary eyed over this chapter. Few things are as beautiful to me as the heroism and the love of, and from, science. To reach into the unknown, pull miracles from the dark, realize there's ever more still unknown... and yet to strive forward, led by passion and excellence...and to pull the readers along. To me that is a miracle of its own.
@ 3:22 One of my biggest fears is that one day mankind will quantify and catalog everything. That there will be nothing left to explore, nothing left to see. We will have sang every song, read every book, recited every poem, played every note. And in this time of nothingness comes stagnation and ultimately oblivion like a fruit that's fallen from a tree and has been rotting for a long time. But at the same time, if the universe really truly is infinite, then maybe there is hope, that there will always be another hill to climb, another book to read, song to sing.
Your video game content is great. Your Extra History content is some of my favourite content on TH-cam. This new Sci-Fi content? This is fantastic. You guys keep doin' you, I'll keep loving it.
I cannot other than admit that Extra Credits itself became art. This video, the way of writing and presenting, was one of the most beautiful and passionate things I have seen in a long time
I can't express how much I'm loving this series and this video. Thank you for comparing/contrasting how Romanticism gave birth to Frankenstein and Sci-Fi; for the longest time I've held the opinion you mentioned that the Romantics were (over-simplifying) just a bunch of science and logic hating artists who couldn't stand change. Portraying them instead as people who were pro-progress/science/etc but were concerned that people had gone too far too quickly and left basic humanity in the dust, is such a powerful change in perspective for me. It really gives me a new light to see these writers and thinkers in. Thank you.
You guys are my favourite channel on TH-cam. Somehow you manage to fit so many ideas into a small video without generalising or leaving out important details.
I'll be honest that I've been subscribed to your channel for a long time, but haven't really been much of a viewer in recent years because the topics stopped interesting me. This Sci-fi series has really peaked my interest though. I can't wait to see where you take it, especially if you dig into Micheal Crichton's method of fictionalizing real sciences.
You guys seriously do a great job writing, illustrating, and narrating these videos. You can always FEEL when the close of the video is coming by the writing and vo work, The illustrations keep getting better. TLDR-Good shit, keep it up
David's artistic output on this series is absolutely stunning. There's just so much to look at in every single piece, of which there are dozens per episode! Well done, my friend. Well done.
Thanks a million , I really try to outdo myself on every episode , this one turn to be really fun to draw and had many lines that inspire me to work harder on the pieces, Thanks again for your appreciation i will keep working harder on the next one!
This might be the most visually gorgeous episode of anything EC-related yet. Extra Sci-Fi is really setting a new benchmark for all of the channel's shows. :)
I dig the passion in your voice. Seriously, the voice work just keeps getting better and better. And the content.... You guys always make me think in a broader perspective about things, angles I had not thought of before. You guys are awesome. Keep up the good work people!!
Frankenstein is my favorite book ever. I've always loved science and fantasy and horror, but I could never quiet explain why I loved this book so much until I watched this video. This was so great, thank you Extra Credits. I love your channel.
I tried to wrote a small article once on how much we could find pictures of sci fi representing cities and urban landscape in the same way romantics painters did of nature... i really like this parallel and force us to reconsider our own link to modernity as well and our value
I LOVE THAT YOU STARTED THIS,extra history is great but this is even greater talking about the sci fi classics that do tie in with the gaming aspect of this channel and history its just great hope it takes off,also good job :D you dont know how many days you made me happy cheers
I think one of my favourite sci-fi quotes is in order and may be appropriate "I've... seen things you people woudn't beleive. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tennhauser Gate. Now, all those moments will be lost in time, like Tears in rain. Time to die..."
I remember touching on the subject of this when we read Frankenstein in high school. It's because of one of these aspects that made Frankenstein one of my favorite books.
Thank you very much guys for this video!!! I used to love Romanticism and figures like Schopenhauer and those feelings like The Sublime but ended seeing these ideas as something old fashioned. Then I embraced Sci fy and during last years, most of the book I have been reading were Scify. I remember feeling this Sublime concept reading Dune, The Fundation or many others but I had linked it with the Romanticism itself. Now I feel myself pretty fool due to my blindness but at the same time I am absolutely glad this wonderful video has blended "old" and "new" in my mind. Thank you again.
Thank you so very much for doing this series. I love your new Sci Fi series, but at some point it might be worth mentioning that Frankenstein (and the other work arising out of that dark and stormy night among friends, including John Polidori's story of Lord Ruthven the vampire) was also the birth of gothic horror. I mean, the sci-fi aspect is one most people don't think about, so it's fantastic that you are putting this at the start of the sci-fi series. But the Romantics are also the root of Gothic romance/fantasy, and thus also the root of Gothic horror. You can trace the influence all the way down to Lovecraft and even to modern horror writers today. Lovecraft, of course, took a particularly negative view--horror as existential dread and despair, mostly. Yet you can still find the traces of influence that lead back to the Romantic moviement. It would be really cool if you guys at least mention that in your analysis of Frankenstein, even if a full treatment would be a subject for a whole other series. :) Keep up the good work, guys!
The art here is really amazing. It's doing a wonderful job of capturing the spirit of scifi so well--I shivered at how well the drawings matched the passage about the arctic. And on a sidenote, can we get a T-shirt with that (anatomically accurate) heart engulfed in flames on it? It manages to capture the conjunction of knowledge and passion incredibly well.
And this is why I love science fiction - at its core, it offers possibility and hope, two crucial gifts of the Divine. As a pastor, I regularly reference science, and science fiction, alongside the scriptures of old - for in the scriptures, we find how people have understood their relationship with the Divine in the past, and in science fiction (and speculative fiction in general), we see how people today understand their relationship with the Divine and each other.
I humbly find that your interpretation of that Wordsworth quote, while definitely a valid one, isn't what I took from it. Maybe I'm too literal in my reading of it, but I thought he was talking about how, if science ever produced a new being, a new intelligence, then the poet, the artist, the left brain thinker, would be the one to raise it and teach it how to function in the world. Damn. That's a book I want to read. Probably one somebody's already written. I should go find that.
Thanks a lot , I´ve been triying to do better art and more detail per image and now I have the time and the great content to do so thanks to the folks on EC so , Thanks again !
Nah, thanks to you for providing us with high quality artwork on these videos, it was at least for me, one of the bigger complains of this channel. The art had a style and stuff but, it just looked too cheap, now with the rich detail and not repeating the same images the whole time, seems much more profesional. So yeah, thanks to you and keep up with the good work!
People complain about the "Treknobable" in Star Trek, but TNG, DS9, and Voyager (mainly TNG for me) helped instill a love for science in me, and some of the episodes of TNG never went over my head as a kid watching it.
I demand a "The heroic individual" shirt and poster :D It summarizes so very very perfectly what I love about so many characters in games...and looks awesome^^
Fantastic and fascinating new series! Can't wait to see where you go with it! Would love some "sci-fi you might not have read" episodes along the lines of your games you might not have played episodes, somewhere down the line.
Loved the drawings - thanks for putting so much effort into the backgrounds as well! There is a German word for the glorification of the individual during romanticism especially: Geniekult. (cult of the genius).
It's interesting seeing the parallels that can be drawn between back during the early enlightenment and today. From the sound of it we may need a new romantic revolution.
This is why the novel I'm writing is placed on a huge spaceship drifting from planet to planet, and almost every character is an alien. I've wondered so much about what could be possible someday, how we could traverse the stars, what kind of alien life we could meet... It's amazing. I also think of the "humans are space orcs" concept, which asks, 'what if humans are stronger, smarter, or better than aliens, rather than the other way round?' What if most other inhabited planets have moderate temperatures, with no volcanoes or earthquakes or hurricanes, so in comparison Earth seems like a death world? What if humans are unique in our ability to throw things? What if humans have immune systems unlike any other alien species, and we'll survive plagues that kill every other alien? Thinking about this kind of stuff makes me so excited, which is why I write about it!!!
lovely chapter, a small complaint though, there are no penguins in the artic, they live only in the southern oceans, Chile, Argentina, South Africa and so on.
Science is a powerful thing: a joy and a wonder that should ignite our passions. And Science Fiction helps us see that.

Extra Credits H.P. Lovecraft? You’ve talked about him before on Credits, but could you talk about his works on this? I know you said that you already had stuff planned, but please do this.
Wordsworth is one of my favorite poets. And just like last comment, I focused on him for a final paper.
I realize you're only just getting started with this branch of the Extra Credits family, but when you get a bit further along in the history of Sci-Fi, and how it relates to our development as a society, and the growth of our science... please don't forget about Star Trek, and the many real world devices, technologies, and techniques that exist today because young potential scientists, engineers, and designers were inspired by what they saw there.
Science fiction can not only make us wonder at and love science, it can also lead to some of it's most inspiring concepts becoming realities.
As a student pursuing a science degree, I can confirm that scifi is what got me interested in science, even if only to ask "why can't we do this?"
Well you can read Historical Fiction till your eyes bubble and the codpiece will never come into fashion again, but Sci-fi is a bit different!
UFBMusic. Yes! Scifi can bring the codpiece back!
To quote Todd In The Shadows, "I'm wearing a codpiece! Your argument is invalid!"
As an artist/ art student I feel the same!
I'm sure you've found many answers to that question already :P
"Inmate of the house of man." Gotta love the phrasing there.
It wouldn't surprise me if "inmate" had different connotations back in the day, but it's still appropriate in any era (at least, to certain segments of the era's populace).
And even to everyone. None of us is human by choice. We all are inmates in the house of man. Trapped by our bodies, by our biology. And yet we strive for more. For freedom. For Meaning. For so many things small and big. And in the end, this is what Sci-Fi does. It strives for so many things humanity cares for. It is, in its very core. Human. It too is an inmate of the house of man. Bound through the being of its writers.
Thank you very much and have a nice day.
The New Romantics sounds like an awesome band name.
Well, there was a band from the 80's named the Romantics. So almost there!
Just in time then.
New Romantics is also a pretty good Taylor Swift song.
It is also a new wave subgenre from the 80s, among new romantics are A-ha, Ultravoxx, Human league, talk talk, adam ant, a flock of seagulls and Alphaville.
Forget band name, it was a whole movement.
Duran Duran
Spandau Ballet
ABC
Ultravox
Adam and the Ants
David Hueso deserves a shoutout for that art. Sublime Frankenstein's monster was sublime.
Some really stand up work to portray the whole alien nature of the genre. Great episode as always.
Will we get into some of the classical work Frankenstein's monster read?
Michael Olson + Loved his Bladerunner mosaic
when monster art is just right
Michael Olson, Swede? My mom is swede, dad is british
You've just done an incredible job at predicting what the next few episodes are about. :D
Thanks a lot , I´ve tried to make my best art for this series and so far I had great fun doing it :D, I hope you continue to enjoy what is to come.
Okay so we studied the romantics and Frankenstein in a big two month unit on Frankenstein in school and the *two* videos you guys have made have already left me with a level of understanding a million times greater.
Hence, my Y9 class is watching this next week.
Beautiful drawings
I am absolutely loving this series so far but especially the art, David Hueso has been kicking all of the ass!
Thanks ! my pleasure working on such episodes , it´s been really fun :D
Some may say William Wordsworth was worth his words... I'll show myself out.
crativ3 damn it, beat me to it
Trust me, those very words are worth more than you know.
No, don't leave! :o Stay and make more puns!
There's a man who lived up to his name, if I ever heard about any!
Ba Dum Tis
Really digging the sci-fi stuff, guys! :D
Also, can you tell your artist to take it easy? They're going way above and beyond the call of duty lol. Very nice stuff
We're very invested in our artists' amazing work as well as their self-care needs! We've already traveled back in time to relay your message to them ;)
It puts a terrific strain on the animators wrist!
Thanks ! they keep telling me to slow it down but errmm , I dont know how to do that !
The art is "out of this world"!
I'll see myself out.
Let's remember Wordsworth words worth remembering.
My brain hurts
Let's.
Word.
Totally worth!
For some reason I thought Wordsworth was saying if Science ever managed to create intelligent, sentient life, it would be the poet's duty to welcome this new form of life with open arms.
That's what I thought too. Maybe Extra Credits dropped the ball on this one?
Got a little teary eyed over this chapter.
Few things are as beautiful to me as the heroism and the love of, and from, science.
To reach into the unknown, pull miracles from the dark, realize there's ever more still unknown... and yet to strive forward, led by passion and excellence...and to pull the readers along.

If they ever do a Michael Crichton episode, I will be all over that. I'm a huge fan of his works, and I think it would make for an interesting topic.
This episodes art was... sublime
Thanks ! SUBLIME !
I had to close my eyes when he started to narrate the literary environment. Those words were nicely paced and well-written
thanks for making this series guys
The art in this episode is gorgeous! One of the best of all EC episodes. I loved it so much, I took a screenshot of 2:23 and made it my desktop.
I'm impressed by how good the art looks and how much detail it has. The episode was great as usual, but that really stood out to me.
You guys seriously do a great job writing, illustrating, and narrating these videos. You can always FEEL when the close of the video is coming by the writing and vo work, The illustrations keep getting better.
TLDR-Good shit, keep it up
This has got to be the most beautifully and aesthetically illustrated video on this channel
David's artistic output on this series is absolutely stunning. There's just so much to look at in every single piece, of which there are dozens per episode! Well done, my friend. Well done.
Thanks a million , I really try to outdo myself on every episode , this one turn to be really fun to draw and had many lines that inspire me to work harder on the pieces, Thanks again for your appreciation i will keep working harder on the next one!

Man, David Hueso really stepped up his game.
Good job everyone, this series is shaping up to be one of your best ventures yet!
Once again this channel is taking something I thought I knew and loved and polishing that love to a vastly more radiant shine. Thanks! ♥
I lietrally have to watch the video twice because i was so distracted by the art. You litreally has outdone yourself with this standard.
Thanks a lot , I really try to outdo myself in this one and I had so much fun on it.
I dig the passion in your voice. Seriously, the voice work just keeps getting better and better. And the content.... You guys always make me think in a broader perspective about things, angles I had not thought of before. You guys are awesome. Keep up the good work people!!

No Walpole reference? I didn't get my money's worth in that! Think I'll raise my share price!
Just sell off the extra and pocket the profit, of course!
I'm on to you walpole the scp foundation is going to lock you up and keep your anomolous properties contained
I LOVE THAT YOU STARTED THIS,extra history is great but this is even greater talking about the sci fi classics that do tie in with the gaming aspect of this channel and history its just great hope it takes off,also good job :D you dont know how many days you made me happy cheers
Where were you when I wrote my undergrad thesis on this! This is such good stuff!
Someday we'll figure out time travel and use it to send all our videos back in time to help out so, so many students !
But then, anonymousdratini wouldn't have written that comment because you would've been there for him. So spoiler alert, you won't. ;(
I'm sure they'll get their videos through to some version of the OP, whether in this timeline or another.
Extra Credits, you guys always do an incredible job, but this series is just amazing.
I think one of my favourite sci-fi quotes is in order and may be appropriate

You. Are. Amazing.
This is probably the most entertaining and informative history channel on TH-cam!
I am happy you all work so hard.
Thank you :D!
I remember touching on the subject of this when we read Frankenstein in high school. It's because of one of these aspects that made Frankenstein one of my favorite books.
YES!! yes to all of this. i am so glad the the EC crew went out of theyre way to do this work and in turn all that the work represents some justice.
This one of my favorite series ever. Here's to sci-fi, arguing for a better humanity one page at a time
Thank you very much guys for this video!!! I used to love Romanticism and figures like Schopenhauer and those feelings like The Sublime but ended seeing these ideas as something old fashioned. Then I embraced Sci fy and during last years, most of the book I have been reading were Scify.

I'm loving these. Please never stop ever.
Thank you so very much for doing this series.

And on a sidenote, can we get a T-shirt with that (anatomically accurate) heart engulfed in flames on it? It manages to capture the conjunction of knowledge and passion incredibly well.
The art was stunning! And there was so much of it! I hope you continue the trend of talking about science fiction books as well as games and films
Thanks a lot ; I´m triying to do my best here and it´s great fun working on scifi stuff!
I can imagine :D
I am liking this series more than I expected I would.
And this is why I love science fiction - at its core, it offers possibility and hope, two crucial gifts of the Divine.

Damn. That's a book I want to read. Probably one somebody's already written. I should go find that.
God, I love that ending song. You guys should post it like you do the extra history songs.
I thought from the thumbnail this was a video about "Frankenstein 2: Get ready to play God, again."
This time its personal
Frankenstein 2: Electric Boogaloo
In this case, the subtitle is kind of apt.
OMG! I am in awe!
What a marvelous analisys. You guys are genius!!!
Thanks for being so awesome!
dang the art team is really exceeding all expectations. which is really impressive because i had my expectations set pretty high
I really like how you can go more wild here with the imagery. GJ!
I am a simple man. I see Solaire, I give like
Technically I think that was the Chosen Undead in the sun armor. He didn't have the sun shield, which Solaire always has.
Praise the Sun!

That Wordsworth quote reminds me of Ellie from CONTACT when she makes it to the other side of the wormhole: "They should have brought a poet!"
Is it just me, or has the artwork on this videos turned much better? With a lot of detail and different images.
Thanks a lot , I´ve been triying to do better art and more detail per image and now I have the time and the great content to do so thanks to the folks on EC so , Thanks again !
Nah, thanks to you for providing us with high quality artwork on these videos, it was at least for me, one of the bigger complains of this channel. The art had a style and stuff but, it just looked too cheap, now with the rich detail and not repeating the same images the whole time, seems much more profesional. So yeah, thanks to you and keep up with the good work!
This new series is AMAZING! Please keep this up EC!
The art on this was so amazing!
Wow.
The Insights and illustrations are both a source of joy and of intellectual elevation. Who ARE you, man??
I'd just like to congratulate David on some beautiful work in the episode.
Thanks a million , I really try to perform better and add more detail on these , thanks !
I love the Discworld reference at 3:17 ^^
That Solaire love at 4:40 gave me life \o/
Praise the Sun!
Man I was so happy to see Enders game up there, truly one of the greatest pieces of soft sci fi writing, at least in the 21st century.
People complain about the "Treknobable" in Star Trek, but TNG, DS9, and Voyager (mainly TNG for me) helped instill a love for science in me, and some of the episodes of TNG never went over my head as a kid watching it.
The artist for Extra Sci Fi is really awesome
the art in this episode was amazing! so detailed and beautiful!! :D
Thanks a million I´m triying to get better and add more detail , so happy that it pays off .
I demand a "The heroic individual" shirt and poster :D
It summarizes so very very perfectly what I love about so many characters in games...and looks awesome^^
The art on this ep is truly wonderful
-M
Loving this series! Can't wait for the Frank Herbert and Orsen Scott Card episodes!
Thanks for making another video I can use in the classroom! Awesome job guys!
Freaking spectacular. Using today in my survey of US history as we talk about Transcendtalism and Rappacinis Daughter.
6:08 is exactly the way I picture Tech Priests in the Warhammer 40k universe attempting to fix something lol.
I love this series! Please, keep going!
Fantastic and fascinating new series! Can't wait to see where you go with it! Would love some "sci-fi you might not have read" episodes along the lines of your games you might not have played episodes, somewhere down the line.
One of your best works. I love this channel :3
Great insight, amazing drawings, catchy narration! 10 out of 10 would buy again
Loved the drawings - thanks for putting so much effort into the backgrounds as well!
There is a German word for the glorification of the individual during romanticism especially: Geniekult. (cult of the genius).
4:40 How fitting that our beloved Sun Bro is pictured when talking about heroes who commit their whole selves.
Praise that incandescent sun. \[T]/
It's interesting seeing the parallels that can be drawn between back during the early enlightenment and today. From the sound of it we may need a new romantic revolution.
oh my god the art here is next level
Loving the hell outta this series. :)
i love the new series guys!! What are the chances of y'all covering things like Galvani and the Resurrectionists in this series? Keep Being Awesome!!!
Love the Dark Souls reference at 4:40!
Now I want a full reading of the Frankenstein story with this art style as the backdrop.
The art is crazy good in this episode
Thanks a million , I really push myself in this one , such fun drawing this one :D
I just love those esoteric stabs xD
Spot on!
Shoutout to the art for being extra nice this episode
Terrific art. I had to pause at some points to appreciate the art.
OML THEY USED THE MEME FROM EMPEROR'S NEW GROOVE! MY LIFE IS COMPLETE! I am needing out so hard right now
Love this new series so much! Can't wait for the next episode.
1:50 that 20 seconds probably explained more to me about the Romantic movement than three semesters if Art History class did about ANY movement.
This is the topic of my GCSE English speech, cheers!!

Awwww - Great A'Tuin!
I second that proclamation whole heartily!
AND MAYBE EXTRA CREDITS CAN COVER THE MEANING OF DEATH
This is why the novel I'm writing is placed on a huge spaceship drifting from planet to planet, and almost every character is an alien. I've wondered so much about what could be possible someday, how we could traverse the stars, what kind of alien life we could meet... It's amazing.
I also think of the "humans are space orcs" concept, which asks, 'what if humans are stronger, smarter, or better than aliens, rather than the other way round?' What if most other inhabited planets have moderate temperatures, with no volcanoes or earthquakes or hurricanes, so in comparison Earth seems like a death world? What if humans are unique in our ability to throw things? What if humans have immune systems unlike any other alien species, and we'll survive plagues that kill every other alien? Thinking about this kind of stuff makes me so excited, which is why I write about it!!!
lovely chapter, a small complaint though, there are no penguins in the artic, they live only in the southern oceans, Chile, Argentina, South Africa and so on.
since dan said arctic ice i got the two jumbled, thanks

No they're not. They're set in the arctic. I'm pretty sure the penguins are there just to see who would notice.

Don't forget the Galapagos isles, they are north of the equator and are home to wild penguins. The main point remains though.
Sorry , I love penguins I HAD TO !
