"Science" Fiction Anonymous 09/16/15 (Wed) 06:15:01 No.266

I started watching Defiance a while ago. The show is decent enough, not as brilliant as some of the other stuff that exists, like Breaking Bad or Daredevil, but fun to watch. However, what bothers me is that I was promised a sci-fi show, and so far, it has nothing science-y on it. I like to imagine the show in a true fantasy setting, and it works.

>Rugged protagonist

Make him a rogue knight.

>Aliens

They all look freaking human anyway, so just make them humans or dwarves or shit.

>Guns

Replace with swords

>Alien invaders

Replace with the army of the dark lord.

And so on. Anyway, my point being, why the fuck do people accept everything as science fiction just because it has starships in it?

Idk the only sci-fi show I'm watching right now is rock and morty. Which is pretty cool but looking for some more got any suggestions? Either current or other wise.

I'm still waiting for a good sci-fi show myself. Fantasy has already entered the mainstream, but sci-fi needs to be softened up into being fantasy or superficial social critique before it's regarded as watchable by producers, it seems.

OP here. I watched another episode today which - Io and behold! - was actually science-y. By this I mean it had magical nanomachines, but hey, that's something.

I've watched the show some more now. It gets a lot more science-y later on, exploring things like cloned Manchurian Agents. Still soft as fuck, but at least it's sci-fi now.

YouTube embed. Click thumbnail to play.

Halfway through the third season now. The show keeps piling up issues. Surprise, a main character has once been raped! That felt too SJW for comfort. GoT handles teh raep better, in my opinion. Also, Irisa has become completely useless due to being a pacifist. Still has its moments. There was one episode that was almost on the level of the average Daredevil episode.

In the meantime, I've also watched Firefly. The show is fucking godlike, as is the movie (Serenity), much better than Defiance. Probably not enough science-y enough for fans of really hard sci-fi, at least not enough to appreciate it as sci-fi.
