Oneof the best means of escapism – film. Are you fighting the battle against reality just like us? Turn on that TV! I’m not just talking about watching something for a few hours; really try and escape there – like ‘The Pagemaster‘ vibes. Get involved

The dictionary speaks of escaping FROM. My escapism is escaping TO. To worlds and people I could never know in my daily world. (FYI: Mine is a happy one; Heck, until recently I worked for Boeing and NASA on once-scifi projects & now write SF.)

There’s nothing wrong with escaping from the normal, everyday routine. Lots of people think TV is no good for us. I beg to differ.

Sad that you can’t go around a-viking? Watch the History Channel’s Vikings.
(My five favourite shows at the moment are Vikings, Falling Skies, Community, Supernatural, and I thought I had another but I might have miscounted.)

I remember what 5 was: Danger Five. It’s an Australian comedy series set in the era of WWII and the boss is a bald eagle who orders the team of five to exotic locations with the objective of figuring out what’s wrong, fixing it, and as always, kill Hitler. There’s dinosaurs, zombies, nazis, moreau’s, and every episode, one guy has a friend die in his arms but not before they can give him their favourite alcohol recipe. And Hitler always manages to jump out the window. Every time.
One time there’s even a Megazord type robot. And another time they don’t have weapons, but that’s okay, because they can shoot the badguys with the power of imagination.
