As suggested it has been split into books, tv, film, androids (which I draw distiction between computers) and comtemporary.

The entries are:
Main entry :A1045766

Computers in Contemporary Movies : A1009405

Computers In Science Fiction: TV : A1045667

Computers In Science Fiction: Movies : A1045658

Computers In Science Fiction: Novels : A1045694

Androids In Science Fiction : A1013545

The entry is now in chronological order with year of first publication/airing.

Once again, I've more grammar things to add than actual comments


'these computer movies are bout humans loosing' -> about , losing

'It is certainly true for me.' -> It is certainly true for this researcher.

'This film is to be commended.' - you're actually doing it, so IMHO this sentence is redundant.

'This is based on a real computer system I have seen.' -> This is based on a real computer system.

'creasting' -> creating

'the bad guys do not practice what the preach' - I don't get that.

'As a computer science graduate, I actually cringed at this point.' -> perhaps 'Computer science graduates cringed at this point.'

'alram' -> alarm

'I will not spend too much time discussing...' -> Discussing the 'contact lens to fool the retina scanner' [single quotes please] plotline shall be kept short here: this is impossible



Finally, I don't get your point in the last para, starting with 'When Stan is trying to "reroute the encryptions" ... - what's that para meant to say?

Thanks, I had no idea I had that many personal references in the entry.

I've made the updates.

Your Guide Entry has just been picked from Peer Review by one of our Scouts, and is now heading off into the Editorial Process, which ends with publication in the Edited Guide. We've therefore moved this Review Conversation out of Peer Review and to the entry itself.

If you'd like to know what happens now, check out the page on 'What Happens after your Entry has been Recommended?' at EditedGuide-Process. We hope this explains everything.

Thanks for contributing to the Edited Guide!

Woo Hoo!

Two in one day! You're doing well!
