SciFi

Science Fiction (Sci-Fi)

Science Fiction is a wonderful Pop Culture topic because Sci-Fi is so popular. Ok it wasn't funny. This weekend's top box office wonder is Sci-Fi. Sci-Fi allows people to expand their dreams, escape the boring little lives we live and experience a vision of what might be or been. By presenting an alternate reality than our own Sci-Fi allows us to stretch our imagination in ways we had not considered. In Battlestar Galactica the creator presents a future overrun by robots, it is a future many people today have already considered and others can believe may happen. Corny? Of course it is, and that is what the allure is; corny but a hint of the possible just to keep us thinking. Atlantis is corny, fun and consistent with Campbell's theory on myths. Now with Campbell's theory fresh in my mind I can analyze my favorite sci-fi shows to see which parts are stronger than others and maybe I'll send critiques to the writers.
