Science Fiction

Favorite S-F related quote of the week
Submitted by Republibot 2.0 on Sat, 04/25/2009 - 20:51Mandy:I love sci-fi esp that talking horse show, that was one of my favorites
Hodges: Mr. Ed? Yeah... That's not science fiction
Mandy: Sure it is. It postulates an alternate universe in which horses evolved a larynx
Hodges: That's fantasy
Mandy: No, Fantasy is anything that travels faster than the speed of light, Hodges, which is why if Albert Einstein were alive today,he'd slap your face.

What is "Science Fiction"?
Submitted by Sam White on Mon, 04/06/2009 - 11:34What constitutes “Science Fiction”?
This is probably one of those questions you’ve never bothered to ask yourself. Fans of the genre, however, ask it a lot—and write about it a lot. Some of them even get angry about it.
Take a look at the following titles of movies and books (that I hope you have at least heard of): Star Wars; Plan 9 From Outer Space; Star Trek; Buck Rogers; Flash Gordon. Which of these would you consider science fiction?

An Alternate View of Sci-Fi Criticism (best viewed from ... right ... over ... HERE!)
Submitted by Sam White on Sat, 04/04/2009 - 17:48At some point, all art is subjective.
As I read the arguments in favor of (or against) more vigorous critiquing of science fiction, accompanied by discussions of just what exactly is science fiction, what isn’t, what is fantasy, where they do or shouldn’t intersect and whether sentences like this can actually be diagrammed, I have many thoughts, which may or may not be arranged into a cogent article but … why not try?

INTERVIEW: John Varley
Submitted by Republibot 3.0 on Tue, 02/24/2009 - 09:48 The following interview contains some coarse language, non-conservative viewpoints, and anti-religious sentiment. It is really cool and interesting, however. If these kinds of things offend you, do not read further, however if they do not it is well worth your time to read on. While we here at Republibot are conservatives, we feel that it is extremely important to ask questions and listen to all the answers before making up one's mind, and that simply can not happen if there are no dissenting viewpoints. Hence, when someone is kind enough to grant us an interview, it is our policy to let them say whatever they want without bugging them about it or censoring them.
PLEASE NOTE:
Read at your own risk
