| Re: Sci-fi for tommorow
Two things. TV never drew me to Science Fiction. I was facinated by Science Fiction, Astronomy, Paleontology, Rocketry and several other branches of science the second I was aware of them. That drew me to Science Fiction TV, movies (what little of it there was when I was young) and books. I don't know what the current crop will do to young people.
Second, "Reality TV" is an oxymoron. Just like a corollary of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Theory "If you measure a particle, you change a particle." If you record and event you affect an event. The camera change the reality of the situation. It's all a put on and and cheaply made to boot, with the writing done by the editor. But I suspect I'm preaching to the choir. |
