POP RHETORIC: Sci-fi pride
excerpt:
These days, it seems like a television series has to be seen as progressive and unconventional before it's considered worthwhile. If you want people to respect your taste in TV shows, you'd better include at least one about gay lifestyles .....People fly in Heroes, one of the most popular shows on TV, and that's easier to accept than a world where people live in space? Clearly the lack of realism is not what keeps sci-fi shunned by the real world. Bad writing or acting can't be the reason either, since Desperate Housewives manages to be popular while Battlestar and Stargate Atlantis, two of the highest rated TV shows by critics, are still seen by many as only worthy of the thick-rimmed glasses crowd who live in their mothers' basements.
