    I miss old Sci-Fi where humanity was awesome and we made our own future. All modern sci-fi seems to attribute any success humanity achieves to a sometimes benevolent forerunner race

          @cinnamonswirl i like how it's mostly a 180 turn from the cliche sci fi alien invaders who are brought down by the smallest thing.

      @cinnamonswirl Heh, you'd probably agree with my dad's views on sci-fi. He grew reading old style sci-fi and dislikes modern stories that are all about psychology and crap instead of men going on space adventures and getting things done.

        @nerthos ah back in the day when men were real men, women were real women and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were real small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri.
