The problem with sf is this: it either mutates into frightening reality or into escapist fantasy. Look at the 50s classics: some of them are our routine, some are so weird that nobody can take them as sf. Alberto Monteiro ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l

Of course Alias was a year in the future after Sidney's amnesia... Battlestar managed to jump a year in a single scene with less issues... What about Heroes? With Hiro Nakamura jumping forwards and backwards in time, I have no idea if what I watch is present, future, or a soon-to-be-erased alternate future.

I think that is likely true. But I think you also have to factor in the desire to not do too much thinking. That's not true. Have you ever taken a glance at the series that air in the children and teen channels? Some of them are even good sf. My favourite was Black Hole School :-) Alberto Monteiro ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l

Re: Jericho
Well, I guess it really doesn't matter WHAT I think of the show...apparently it's going to be cancelled: http://www.thefutoncritic.com/guide.aspx?id=upfront The good news is that America's Funniest Home Videos will be renewed.

Not quite as SFinal as I'd like, but it has decent writing (which appears to be designed to appeal to a fairly broad audience...the fact that it does it decently is remarkable in my book)... Damon. the reason i like it is because it treats the terrorism threat as something that can be exaggerated, fabricated, assimilated and even co-opted by the very protagonist infidels the jihadists are attempting to destroy. another show i like is sleeper cell, much better in its portrayal of jihadists than 24 which promotes hysteria, hate and fear. jon louis Give spam the boot.
