Why I love science fiction
|
Why I love science fiction I was thinking about this last night. What is it about science fiction that attracts so much? Why does the genre work so well for ? science = real fiction = imagined futures and worlds The first science fiction that made fall hard, was the original Battlestar Galactica tv show, with Lorne Greene, Richard Hatch, etc. I was , and it came on the same night I had orchestra practice. We did have a vcr, but it killed me have go orchestra when my favorite show was on. There was also Star Trek and Buck Rogers on at that stage in my life, but it was Battlestar Galactica that pulled in. I think maybe, it was that I couldn't imagine my real world being any different. There just didn't seem be options. As I look back, there really weren't options, or I don't know what they would have been. I wasn't going run away, the thought of a foster family terrified . But a future world, in another time and place, there I could imagine things being different. There could be safety, comfort, the compassionate loving father figure, the brothers and , the friends struggling together. Maybe even a first crush lol. So in a life without many options, science fiction became a world where things could be different. Things that I couldn't imagine in my world, might be possible somewhere in the future in another universe. Lorne Greene and Richard Hatch have both passed away, but I always wanted to thank them for becoming my family through an imaginary tv show. I don't mean to be depressing, but this was my life. If you want to make a broken human being, give them a childhood without options, or where the love and care are mixed up with and you have to take the whole package, or nothing. Today I have options. I still struggle, but I have people in my life who love me. Science fiction is still fun and makes me thin I never know where I'll be going, what the inhabitants of the world will be like, or how they will communicate. I will always enjoy travelling other times and worlds, and will always be grateful for the comfort it offered me as a . |

I focused more on written sci fi in my younger days. I had Lost In Space, Time Tunnel, the original Outer Limits, and Star Trek. I still prefer written sci fi, there are more believable story lines than in the movies and tv shows. Please don't let me be misunderstood.

Birds of a feather flock together. Comics was my main escape but acted as a gateway for everything else that came later. Science fiction prose, movies and tv shows. Horror. Mystery. Comedy. Literature in general. And art. My imagination never left me but has taken detours along the way. The joy of reading a new tale or seeing a different take on some moral dilemma via fantasy , sci-fi or superheroics remains instilled in me. A true lantern in my darkest times and bright beacon in my sunnier days. Glad to read about your past and thank you for sharing. My name is MrWrong and I approved this comment
