Prefer soaps ? how sad.

Prefer romance ? yuk.

Prefer documentaries ? ok ish.

But sci fi rocks, it opens the mind to possibilities, gives us hope that one day humans will be better people.

If you define "better" as faster starships and more lethal weapons :D

Blakes Seven RULES!

(*runs for cover*)

With very few exceptions, SciFi is dull and poorly written, in my opinion.

I'm willing to keep an open mind, however.

I challenge someone to post a very well written, insightful snippet of SciFi.

Blakes Seven RULES!

What is Blakes Seven?

I think they should make one where the main characters are bad guys...like space pirates or something.

TV, film, novel, short story? Which do you mean one_raven? Al do you mean all of them?

Novel or short story.

Something to read.

What is Blakes Seven?

Seriously cheesy (set and budget-wise) Brit SF TV series. Mainly political. Ran for many years. The fans' favourite was a guy called Kerr Avon who was an out and intellectual snob interested only in his own agenda but spent the entire series supporting the leader Roj Blake.

I like Young and the Restless....

You are such a shit disturber...

May be true, but some only need the outline idea to enjoy and interpret it.

Asimov has written some good things, but his SciFi borders on the realm of Fantasy.

Overall, SciFi is written by geeks and reads like it.

That sounds soapy.

I can appreciate a good idea, but it is good writing that moves me.

Roger Zelazny's "Rose for Ecclesiastes" my all-time favourite short. But I would recommend anything by this guy.

Extremely well-read and my favourite quote from him is to the effect that in general he preferred English readers to American. "An American reader who doesn't understand my stuff decides I'm a bad writer, an English reader just decides to broaden his education so that he can understand it".
Or words to that effect.

One of my few genuine regrets is that I never wrote a fan letter to the guy just to let him know how much pleasure his books gave me. But what the hey, he got royalties when I bought them.

Then SciFi geeks should learn how to write properly.
Neil Gaiman is a geek and an excellent writer - he just doesn't happen to write SciFi.
Warren Ellis is also a geek and an excellent writer, but it would be a far strecth to call Transmetropolitan SciFi.

I feel that you don't want me here....:bawl:

Yes like women are not allowed in mens clubs.

From what I have watched it looks like a pile of shit to me. But then geeks get sucked into watching sexy sci fi babes (shit you have a thread with how many pages about it ) if they were omitted whats left?

What's left if you omit the babes? What's left?

Explosions of course.
Duh, what else do you need in a film other than babes and explosions?

The Enterprise was sexy in its day, at least sci fi treats women mostly as equals, did they get that wrong, hmm.:p

should i have to learn every thing you think is good ?

Of course not.
However, if SciFi authors want their stuff to not sound like it was written by a 16 year-old virgin with a vast vocbulary, but little understanding and zero insight into human nature, THEY should learn how to write properly.

hunks
I don't perform in front of the camera.
and romance
Pffft, who wants to watch soppy stuff?

GET OVER IT! :)

I quite agree, therefore i request you write a sci fi script.

Why do women need romance ? you know deep down that is only sex, therfore all women must be sex maniacs.
