Future Never Looked So Bad

One thing that never ceases to amaze me is how terrible the future looks in science fiction shows. Not all sci-fi shows mind you… but it is a popular reoccurring theme.

I wonder why they do that… why can’t someone display the future as a nice place to be? They don’t do that… they prefer to have you believe that everything goes crazy haywire in the future and it’s all messed up.

Before long, you have evil cyborgs going nuts killing people and other things.

You would hopefully prefer that the future isn’t too bad, that it’s somewhat a nice place to live and or be. Of course the movies have a reason for showing how terrible life is… so the main character can go back in time and fix it.

But how boring is that? It’s been done… and it will continue to be done… and over done. That is their way of doing things.

Random Movies on iTunes

So, I’ve been in the habit of purchasing random movies from iTunes… having never heard of or watched them before, it’s my first time viewing them. Some may consider this is a waste of money, but that’s not the point. If you want to get into the grit of it, it’s my money to waste.

Anyways… I’ve bought a handful of movies, some of them are great, others not so much. I prefer to consider it an experiment to see how different authors write, and how the different genera all work out. It’s enjoyable it really is.

Try it sometime, you may or may not regret what you decide. One thing to note, read the reviews… that will at least steer you in one direction or the other.

Stayed up till 4 am this morning finishing the book “The Soul Key”. Talk about wow! I enjoyed Fearful Symmetry so much, that I had to get the book that finished it.

I don’t believe I got bored with this book at all… it was just so… wow! I won’t say anything about the plot or anything, just get the two books… read them, and have fun. That’s really all there is to it.

Enjoyed it a lot, would highly recommend it to fans of Deep Space Nine!
