In Reply to: John, you have a right to an educated opinion ... posted by Audiophilander on November 29, 2001 at 21:26:22:
"If that were true, and it isn't, the same could be said about all genres of imaginative fiction be it western, romance, horror, mystery and much of what passes for mainstream."Aye, there's the Wub. Is IS said of all genres.
SF holds no special place in the world of literature or cinema or TV. The criteria which determine a successful work are not necessarily the same criteria which determine a work's value, importance or comparitive merit. ("The fact that you only find SF worthy of laughter "- Only SF ? Are you psychic ? Did you ken this with your super- powers ?)
Surely there's some room for discernment ?
My plebeian comments ? The plebeians vote at the box office with their cash. Bread and circuses, popcorn and cinema.
(Would that all SF fans know who a plebeian was. Would that all SF fans bother to read something more challenging than an extended comic sans graphics -nuff said.)
You may take umbrage, and a petty insult about a "limited imagination" is weak- save your pity for those that are impressed with the imagination displayed in Star Trek.
Just put on your tights and go save us from the evil SeriousLiterature Man !!!!!
