Fantasy is a genre that has much to offer young readers. There's still a lot of ground that could be covered with this trope, but just pointing to Chariots of the Gods is a lazy trope that consistently runs afoul of basic decency. But between now and then, there was Life and Bod walked into it with his eyes and his heart wide open. The crew of the Enterprise often become the Ancient Aliens to less developed planets, bringing an interesting level of perspective to the concept.
There are a lot of interesting ideas that could come of aliens interacting with human beings, even in the distant past, but it's almost always used as an explanation for questions that have already been answered.Īn interesting example of this trope that eschews its worst connotations comes from the Star Trek franchise. The idea that aliens contributed every innovation that wasn't accomplished by white Europeans is pervasive in science fiction and deeply rooted in colonialism, xenophobia, and racism. Paul and Riana's escapes also add tension, as do the interactions between Spellbinders.Ancient Aliens don't necessarily have to be deeply problematic, but they are more often than not. The Rebirth of Cinematic Realism Neorealism in film. There is tension from Paul's forays into the land of the Spellbinders and his attempts to return to his own universe, and also from conversations Paul has with his friends across the barrier between the two universes. These movies are grounded in reality with none of the escapist fantasy of the typical Hollywood blockbuster. Common people are often "banished" for their misdeeds, and sometimes Spellbinders are banished, also, if they are proven to have done wrong. One such malevolent Spellbinder is Ashka, who often manages to hide her true nature. The Spellbinders often use their power for good, but some abuse this power and use their discoveries for malevolence. They fly in gigantic copper-coloured machines that utilise large rotating orange crystals, presumably creating some form of magnetic levitation. The Spellbinders have discovered the power to create and manipulate static electricity. Paul meets a girl there named Riana, and they become friends. This other world is inhabited by a more hierarchic and technologically different society, ruled by a group of people known as Spellbinders. While at the camp, Paul Reynolds accidentally goes into a parallel universe. It's called Spellbinder!Ī group of teenagers go on a school camp in the Blue Mountains in Australia. I remembered they wore suits and created portals with their hands.Īfter searching online for hours I found it! I hope it's the same show you were looking for. I too had wondered for ages about this show. The deciding factor would definetly be those 'antagonist lobsters'. Parralax would air after school, and he remembers the show airing at night time. I definetly use to watch Parralax, as a kid, but it does not fit the time frame my friend remembers.

It is possible that I am remembering elements from Parralax, regardless of whether this is the actual series we both remember. Reading through the premise, and watching a youtube video, "Sliders" does remind us of the series, but we are still not 100% sure this is it. We don't remember any markings akin to Star Wars or Star Trek, but we can not rule it out.
We don't really have a date, so 1995-2010 it was airing on australian free-to-air. I watched this when I was a kid, so either 6am-9am or 3pm-10pm EST. We live in Australia, but can not remember the network, nor country of origin. We can both remember an evil lobster, but they may have been a main antagonist, or in a single episode. My mate specifically remembers a weird 'Suburbia'. In the show, the characters would jump through portals, and pop out in weird alternate universes.

Me and my mate were talking about TV shows we watched, growing up, and we both have vague memory of the same show.
