Bravo!!!
Sci-Fi is not, imo, about escapism, unless you're talking about Bucky O'Hare... it's ENTIRELY about the world we live in. The stories presented within sci-fi are commentaries on our own existence. Sci-Fi is a reflection of us and our society, our issues, our failings, our dysfunctions. Battlestar Galactica was about the War on Terror, SG-1 was about man's slavery to religion. Sci-Fi is, like it or not, nowhere near escapism.
