TV Science Fiction

I like science fiction. I like thinking about the future, thinking about what might be possible, thinking about what things we should try to avoid. I like the sense that humanity is going somewhere. I like ideas about new technologies.

But TV science fiction usually winds up being pretty crappy. I haven't really watched any for a few years.

And tonight there is a new Star Trek series. It sounds like they are doing some things right, and they got a reasonable actor to play the main role, but... I bet it will be mediocre. Good production values, of course (well, relative to other SF shows...) but nothing profound to say story-wise.

But at least I am going to watch it with a group so I don't need to be ashamed alone.
