	The Martian Chronicles walkthrough
		Using the transporter took me to the roof of the building, where a Martian sand yacht is moored.
		Using this Martian energy hasn't adversely affected my equipment, and it does allow me to spend more time in the city without having to return to the ship.
		It was as familiar to Martians as a piano is to humans.

	THE MARTIAN CHRONICLES - DVD
		Matheson was brought on board to adapt Bradbury's anthology The Martian Chronicles to mini-serial TV in 1979--and the result is a long discussion in three parts that finds Matheson winnowing away most, though not all, of Bradbury's fluffy poesy to reveal the essential emptiness at the core of Bradbury's flights of social speculation.
		Likewise, a scene where a shapeshifting Martian appears to Father Peregrine (Weaver) as Christ in his passion threatens to examine the cruelty embedded in the idea of a literal communion mass (this was the series' most controversial sequence)--but washes out as a meek variation on the series' theme that mankind is rather small-minded.
		The disappointment of The Martian Chronicles isn't that it's boring (and it is, something that Bradbury found to be his only major complaint with it), or that its special effects are horrible even by the standards of the day.

	WannaLearn: The Martian Chronicles
		Bradbury's Martians are superior to men (more sensitive, more warrior-like, more artistic, more philosophical, more cultured, more advanced, more intelligent) while at the same time not possessing any attributes that are not common to men (see the foregoing list).
		The Martian Chronicles is a wonderful book from the genius mind of Ray Bradbury.
		TMC consists of 26 short stories, some interconnected, others not, producing poetry of modern literature coupled with stories that capture the feel of the early Twilight Zone episodes (something this book would have innovated).

		Then, after the rovers are on solid martian ground (or, in this case, simulated martian ground in the test chamber), images are taken to assess the safety of the drive off the landers.
		The chronicles include an insider's view of hardware tests and site selection to problem solving and science planning on the surface of Mars.

	Ralph Dumain: "The Autodidact Project": "'The Martian Chronicles' & Our Subjective Desires"
		The Martian cities are composed of abstract geometric shapes such as spheres and cones, in stone.
		Instead of exacting revenge, one of the Martians speaks to him in English and hands him a treaty, granting him a huge tract of Martian land, and warning him to prepare for tonight.
		Wilder is troubled, but the Martian tells him it hardly matters which civilization is alive and which dead, which is the past and which the future.

	CNN.com - The new Martian chronicles - Jan. 15, 2004
		Martians invaded in H.G. Wells' "War of the Worlds" (and the 1938 radio version by Orson Welles) and a slew of cheap science fiction movies.
		Martian invasions, of course, were stand-ins for timely issues: immigration, race relations, and (naturally) the Red Menace of Communism.
		Ray Bradbury's 1951 "The Martian Chronicles" featured a Mars colonized by humans to the planet's detriment, and Robert Heinlein's 1961 "Stranger in a Strange Land" told the story of a child educated by Martians who reaches a deeper level of consciousness than humans.

	The Martian Chronicles (mini-series) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		But when one of his men is taken over by Martian intelligence, Wilder is faced with difficult moral decisions concerning the fate of his crew, and the fate of the planet itself.
		In The Martians, earth has finally been destroyed by atomic war, and the few humans who have remained on Mars are struggling to survive on a planet that has become a virtual ghost town.
		The Martian Chronicles was a landmark of sorts when it first aired, mainly due to the epic nature of the three part story, and the fact that adequate screen time was finally being given to a work of Bradbury's to do it justice.

	The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Bradbury's image of the Martian town is powerful because of its nostalgia, yearning for a time when any man could start from nothing.
		That a disease not even fatal to human children could wipe out the proud, elegant martians in crystal houses and gas beds is meant to highlight the loss of the Native American civilizations.
		While the martians died of a disease after reaching the peak of their civilization, the human civilization on Mars gave up and ran back home.

	Study guide for Ray Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles (1950)
		If all Martians have last names that consist of a letter of the alphabet, there would seem to be only 26 possible names--rather restrictive.
		Belief in telepathy (direct mind-to-mind communication of thoughts) has little or no scientific basis, but it is a staple of science fiction because it makes possible interesting plots and because as here it solves the knotty problem of how alien races can communicate with each other.
		In the previous stories the Martians had no problem in perceiving that the thoughts invading their minds were alien; can you come up with any explanation for why they might now view the earth people as manifestations of their own minds?

		Some Martian archaeologists have developed the idea that human life on Earth ended when their “believers in nothing concrete”, as we, the ultimate Concretes or Materialists, name it, ran amok and “brought down the house”, as we would say, with internecine strife and atomic sword play.
		Of course, we Martians also believe in the concept of modernization, that is, the process by which our robot servants modernize our facades and change our interior spaces to make ever more room for bigger and better chips and energy sources.
		Martian hardscience continues to advance, however, and now that we are beginning to uncover human fossils we may soon be able to actually clone an Earthling, jack it, jack it on or jack it off and ask it what it knows of its past.

	I, Martian: Ray Bradbury's Martian Chronicles
		The Martians are pushed into the wilderness, left to appear, when they appear at all, as shimmering mirages, or in the guise of humans.
		Other Martians appear to humans as shadows of lost loved ones -- as regrets for what might have been, or as longing for the past.
		While the aboriginal Martians are now long gone, these newcomers are willing to take Mars as they find it and respect what the planet can teach them.

	The Martian Chronicles
		Even at this late stage, Bradbury was still able to tap into the Lowellian, golden-age myth of canals and intelligent Martians, even though he and presumably most of his readers knew that the real planet Mars appeared incapable of supporting anything but the most primitive forms of.
		Bradbury's main goal, however, is not astronomical accuracy but to contrast the "graceful, beautiful and philosophical" Martians, and their love of the aesthetic, with technology-obsessed humankind.
		Thus he explores how civilizations and intelligence elsewhere might have developed along completely different lines (see extraterrestrial intelligence, more advanced than us).

	Bradbury’s The Martian Chronicles and Death
		Ray Bradbury’s The Martian Chronicles gives its readers many ideas of how life may be or may have been on the planet of Mars.
		Death was prominent in many of the stories included in the Chronicles specifically in situations as killing of humans by Martians, killing of Martians by humans, killing of humans by humans and the dead coming back to life.
		Bradbury may have imagined that Martians would not be friendly and approving of the humans and given them the very human characteristic of becoming frightened andturning to drastic measures to take care of the unknowns.

	The DVD Journal \| Quick Reviews: The Martian Chronicles
		Though superficially sprawling in scope, spanning some 27 years, the great power of Ray Bradbury's masterful science-fiction novel The Martian Chronicles is the dispassionate brevity with which the author relates the tale of humankind's inevitably calamitous colonization of the neighboring red planet.
		The narrative proceeds chronologically, depicting the first manned landing through the perspective of a Martian couple (the husband, jealous and protective of his wife and his planet, murders the strange intruders), then shifting to the human point of view for the rest of the picture.
		The second landing, which finds its trio of astronauts getting tricked by the Martians into believing they've landed on a strange approximation of heaven, returning to their hometowns, and reuniting with dead parents, is one of the more effectively adapted episodes.
