And while I’m talking about this, bad history or irrational projection of today’s morals/beliefs on other peoples.ĥ. I mean, WTF was with that fading photograph in Back to the Future? Don’t try to make too much sense of it, please, or your brain will hurt. It seems like writers just make up rules for time travel that make no sense a lot more often than other types of stories. Aliens with biologies that make no sense with ridiculously simple ecosystems.Ĥ.
#TEXT HATE IT OR LOVE IT SKIN#
Aliens who are exactly like humans except for their skin color or nose shape.

I recall the first-season intro to Babylon 5 being pretty badly written, for instance, and happily noticing it was later revised.ģ. OK, there’s probably very little this bad out there any more (Galaxy 666, how I miss you), but some of the sci-fi channel movies have echoes. The President of Earth can still be heard slamming his fist on his desk and ordering that Space Commander Sparky Jones and his sidekick Space Babe Sally do something about the alien menace.

This happens less, I think, than in decades past, but it still happens. There are a lot of sub-categories, but I’ll try to keep them lumped together except for a few cases that need their own number.Ģ. Star Trek, though I love it, is a prime offender. You know, reverse the polarization and charge this doohickey and wham bam thank you ma’am the aliens are toast! There are a million examples out there. AKA technobabble or just plain getting things wrong. As a writer and scientist, I’m probably more sensitive to some of the bad things than the average person, but there are plenty of things that happen too often that we can probably agree to share for a good two-minute hate.
