I won’t rehash Rezny’s article, it’s worth reading it in its entirety, but his basic premise is that hard sci-fi (more realistic sci-fi) can be so much more interesting and entertaining than the usual sci-fi we are accustomed to. The main reason why I mentioned this article is because I wanted to share a quote that made me laugh because it is so true:
Meanwhile on Stargate, 95% of planets are Canada.
That said, my wife and I watched every episode of every Stargate series (except the animated one) and loved them.
