42. "RE: the WHOLE POINT is that "sci-fi" is just a place to set your story." In response to In response to 39
I have no problem with it relating to any number of genres. I'm saying that the perception that science fiction is dead comes from people who refuse to acknowledge sci-fi movies as sci-fi. It's the difference between "Serenity is a cool little science fiction western" vs. "Serenity isn't sci-fi! It's a space western."
It's like people feel ashamed to like science fiction.
