Science Fiction

Funny thing about Science Fiction stories / shows / whatevers. The authors can make them believable if they choose. On the other hand they can do whatever they feel like. I suppose that's why it's called fiction. Having the authority to do this that and the other. But please make sure it's a good story... or at least something that will hold your audience's attention. If it doesn't do that, and they leave? Yeah forget it. They won't be coming back.

Just finished watching X-Men First Class. Not too bad of a movie. Not too bad at all.

More Star Trek hits iTunes

So I was browsing iTunes tonight... They posted more Star Trek seasons for Enterprise, Voyager, and Deep Space Nine.

From the looks of things, Voyager and Deep Space Nine have seasons 1 - 3, while Enterprise has seasons 1 and 2.

Promising things are ahead... that's for sure. If this is any indication of it.

Future Never Looked So Bad

One thing that never ceases to amaze me is how terrible the future looks in science fiction shows. Not all sci-fi shows mind you... but it is a popular reoccurring theme.

I wonder why they do that... why can't someone display the future as a nice place to be? They don't do that... they prefer to have you believe that everything goes crazy haywire in the future and it's all messed up.

Before long, you have evil cyborgs going nuts killing people and other things.

You would hopefully prefer that the future isn't too bad, that it's somewhat a nice place to live and or be. Of course the movies have a reason for showing how terrible life is... so the main character can go back in time and fix it.

But how boring is that? It's been done... and it will continue to be done... and over done. That is their way of doing things.
