The show puts a new spin on the dyad that describes most fictional friendships: the free spirit and the homebody; the slob and the neatnik; Oscar and Felix, Laverne and Shirley, Chrissy and Janet.

I could meditate for 5 minutes to get a little C time, or pick up a book (even if the concerns of most fictional characters seem bizarre right now) and lose myself in B time.

Absolutely. You can catch glimpses of film crew members in the bar's mirrors, and the camerawork throughout feels more like the stuff of vérité than most fictional films, which tend to use a more controlled style.

Ness claims that the idea for Chaos Walking came from "one really serious idea and one fairly stupid idea": how information overload affects youth, and how most fictional talking dogs "never actually talk like... I think dogs would actually talk". Ness planned the series as a trilogy from the start, deciding to theme Knife about flight, Ask about tyranny and Monsters about war.

Spunky is different compared to most fictional dogs, who are often more intelligent than their masters. Spunky is far less intelligent than even real dogs. He drools all the time with a vacant expression. One of his humorous actions is drooling into his water dish, mistaking it for more water, and drinking it again, and then repeating this over and over.

For instance: first he is caught lying about his seizure disorder, and then the widow he loves is enraged when she discovers that he has been attempting to court her by stealth during her socially-recognized period of mourning. In the course of a lengthy series, Miles has been allowed to grow and evolve in ways most fictional heroic action characters never do.

Androids are a staple of science fiction. Isaac Asimov pioneered the fictionalization of the science of robotics and artificial intelligence, notably in his 1950s series I, Robot. One thing common to most fictional androids is that the real-life technological challenges associated with creating thoroughly human-like robots—such as the creation of strong artificial intelligence—are assumed to have been solved.Van Riper, op.cit.

Actor Timothy Bottoms portrayed Bush fictionally multiple times during the Bush presidency: in the Comedy Central sitcom That's My Bush!, as a cameo in the family film The Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course, and in a serious role in the telefilm DC 9/11 (2003). Bush was the target of satire for most of his presidency. Most fictional depictions of the President in popular media tend to emphasize his drawl and tendency to use incorrect grammar and malapropisms in speeches, as well as his sometimes awkward hand and facial gestures.

The Aerican Empire was founded on May 8, 1987 by Canadian-born Eric Lis and a group of his friends. For the first ten years the Empire was almost completely fictional, claiming sovereignty over a vast galaxy of feigned planets and engaging in wars against other micronations (although never resulting in physical contact). After the advent of the Internet, through which the founders discovered other micronations similar to their own, the Empire slowly abandoned most fictional elements and worked towards becoming an existing political entity rather than a hobby. In 1997, the Empire created its own website.

Different types of Dyson spheres and their energy-harvesting ability would correspond to levels of technological advancement on the Kardashev scale. Since then, other variant designs involving building an artificial structure or series of structures to encompass a star have been proposed in exploratory engineering or described in science fiction under the name "Dyson sphere". These later proposals have not been limited to solar-power stations, with many involving habitation or industrial elements. Most fictional depictions describe a solid shell of matter enclosing a star, which was considered by Dyson himself the least plausible variant of the idea.

Imjillok consists of numerous episodes and characters that were involved in the Japanese invasion of Korea in 1592, but there are considerable deviations from the factual historical record, such as Yi Sun- shin fighting in the early throes of the war and Kang Hongrip becoming the son-in-law of the Japanese Emperor. Though there are many existing copies of this story, there are also large differences between each version. Versions of Imjillok can generally be classified as the “historical” version, the “Choe Ilyeong” version, and the “Guan Yu” version, but there are also versions that do not belong to any of the aforementioned categories. The “historical” version is based on historical records and only partially includes fictional or fable-like elements. The “Choe Ilyeong” version is written with the fictitious character, Choe Ilyeong, as the main protagonist, and the “Guan Yu” version is based on an oral folktale and is the most fictional of all three versions.
