Quote:Does the SciFi channel find it has to move off-shore to avoid problems with the FBI or Congress?
To be honest I'd think Siffy would just complete its transformation into the Ghost Hunters Network and drop all that whooshy space stuff. No, Im not bitter. Much, anyway.
Quote:I was thinking that the Sci-Fi writers would make it up myself. I was just wondering if there would be any real point in writing 'Sci-Fi' - it'd probably be considered 'reality television.'
"At the end of the 20th Century, philosopher Francis Fukuyama famously declared that we had reached the so-called 'end of history,' that no further advancements or progress would or even could be made.
"Six years later, handwavium was unleashed on the world. This could be taken as History rearing back and dope-slapping Professor Fukuyama for his insolence."

Quote:But anyhow... Fenspace!Ben would be all up for a struggle like that. He would feel that it was time for America to be the Land of the Free once more.
Oh, lordy. Y'know, Fenspace is built on cliches - it thrives on them, in fact - but if there's one cliche I really, really don't want to explore is the Plucky Colonists Take On Oppressive Strawman Homeworld. Putting aside that we have enough variance in viewpoints among the authors that we'd never agree on the strawman to begin with, it's a pretty stale concept.
Now, if you guys are gung-ho about this, I'm willing to be persuaded. But if I hear word one about asteroid drops, I'ma gonna lower the veto boom.
