Why is science fiction so appealing?
Some folks have noted that science fiction is a interesting way of discussing current social issues without the accompanying emotion. Sometimes, it seems to be just another way of visualizing how life and society could have unfolded.
One of the best current shows — in my humble opinion — has been Stargate SG 1. The homepage of the series is worth the visit! In reading through some of the many pages, it appears… sadly… that season 10 ( Wikipedia lists Gunsmoke at 20 years) is going to be their last. The good news for those of us who are fans of the series… is that they will be producing 2 movies for direct distribution to dvd. Supposedly, we will find the evil ‘Ori’ ( aliens who will kill you if you don’t worship their religion… sound familiar?) finally get theirs.

I am sorry to see Stargate go… and I wish Kurt Russell had been along for the ride…
