[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mars Needs Women: [QB] WizArt, I also think we're in a bit of a lull when it comes to Sci-Fi. To be honest, Terra Nova and that Alien Invasion show aren't really grabbing me, and are emanating immense levels of fail. I'll still check em out, but I'm not optimistic. I mean that Terra Nova has the Douchebag General from Avatar, he's even still sporting the same look! Also I think a lot of sci-fi from the early to mid twentieth century was based on ideas of modernism, with sci-fi giants like Wells, Asmiov, Heinlein, Roddenberry, and others sending the message that unbridled technological development would lead mankind to an overly-optimistic future. I think it's harder nowadays to convey that message. We have the technology, but it's debatable how much its actually improved mankind. It some ways, technology has only exacerbated the problems facing our species. I think sci-fi nowadays is more introspective, a vehicle for people to explore the faults of being human. Not that it wasn't like that before, either. I just think there's more of it today. [/QB][/QUOTE]
