Ok, this site has put the first draft scripts for a whole bunch of series that haven’t premiered yet on TV. Four of them are either flat-out Science Fiction, or at least Science Fiction-ey. Check 'em out under the jump!
Is it just me, or is SF getting rather gay of late? Of course SF is naturally rather scattershot and leftist, so trying to nail known any specific agenda is always rather tough, but that just makes it all the more remarkable when science fiction suddenly gets in lockstep with itself and marches to the beat of the same drummer. This is, by its very nature, something the genre isn’t *supposed* to do. So the sudden and rather massive increase in ‘Gay SF’ in the media is probably all the more surprising because of that.
As anyone who's watched Star Trek in the last fifteen years or so can tell you, Science Fiction is riddled with overused cliches. Some of these are inherent in the structure of the genre, of course, but there are a lot that are simply lazy storytelling.
