So, I thought I'd dust off the #SecretSciFiNetwork for a pair of questions.
What is your favorite #SciFi trope?
I mean what will you watch every time they make a movie about it?
And what's your least favorite SciFi trope?
What are you tired of or never really liked.
As always, please boost to reach as many science fiction lovers as possible, and include #SecretSciFiNetwork in your response.
And of course no gatekeeping, no arguing. Plenty of room for different takes.
@ewdocparris My favorite would be anything set on another planet or in the future that is not dystopian. I just want to remain hopeful that someday, somewhere, things will be better, and that we aren't all going to revert to a near stone age civilization (but somehow, amazingly, with plently of gasoline to run internal combustion engines - I mean, give me a break, civilization is completely broken down and yet the refinerys are still working?).
My least favorite is anything related to horror. I am not a horror fan at all, so if your idea of sci-fi is people getting killed off in various gruesome ways then we have very different ideas of what constitutes good science fiction.
My favorite #SciFi of all time was the old Stargate (sometimes called SG-1) TV series. I can't exactly say why except that it had a lot of the elements I liked and few I didn't. It was a shame that only the last few seasons were filmed in high definition. I sometimes wish they'd reboot that franchise, although I suspect if they did they would totally screw it up and come up with something not nearly as imaginative and entertaining as the original.
