When does soft sci-fi become science fantasy?

>>717812881
There's no simple answer to that.

>>717813006
I guess? Since what's considered impossible no matter how much time passes is somewhat subjective?

A lot of the concepts in sci-fi are just speculation based on the very little we do know. I'm personally not a fan of super hard sci-fi because they get too hung up on the science over the storytelling.

>>717812370 (OP)
Humans are always the most interesting species because they're real and most of the non-human species are just humans with some makeup up or cgi obscuring their very human motivations cultures or whatever because it's all human inspired. Meaning if you think that alien race is cool you probably just think humans are cool so just play a fucking human.

>>717812370 (OP)
everyone who wants to be unique chooses to go the generic human male.
this is just like women getting tattoos but for shut-in gamers.

>>717812501
>skills allrounder
in the original sci fi series, john carter went to mars, a planet with weaker gravity than on earth, and managed to overpower any and every being on that planet. superman is basically written based on him. humans are the dominant species in the galaxy. sadly playing humans is easy mode and that would be shameful.

>game lets you play as a cool robot

>>717812881
It's a gradating scale that depends on how closely you stick to known physical laws, typically called 'hard' or 'soft' scifi for its proximity to science fantasy.

Scifi typically has a couple central macguffins that do whatever reality altering bullshit that changes the setting to what the author wants to explore (for example, FTL drives) and then everything else behaves as if its normal and real. Maintaining this feeling of 'this could be real' is called verisimilitude.

Take mass effect for example:
>element zero reverses electrons or w/e it was
>this lets you cast magic spells and makes antigravity real
everything in the setting that's unreal/impossible now stems out of this

the suspension of disbelief for the setting is ruined when things start to happen that don't follow the rules set beforehand, like having the new Volvo show up in your D&D session suddenly. Yeah, the setting is magic and fantasy (or scifi) but within that setting is an expected reality and when you shatter that you break the versimilitude.

A LOT of settings, stories, and modern franchises especially, break the fuck out of the established lore and world building because some hack retards don't know how to write fuck about shit.

They said in interviews that it was an issue writing it. Since Crichton was cut off from Earth around the year 2000s they couldn't really fittings references past that date.

>>717812370 (OP)
>>717812418
John Crichton would 100% join cerberus in mass effect. along with Aeryn.

>>717817276
I wonder if they updated his references after returning to ~2003 Earth in S04E13

Nah John and Aeryn would nuke the collector base and tell TIM to go fuck himself
They would also nuke the Council

>>717817424
Aeryn seems like the type of girl to seduce someone and get impregnated for the sake of trapping old god spirits

This show was so frelling good

>>717819271
>somehow, Scorpius returned

This happened like 2 times in the show, first he blows up on the peacekeeper carrier and the second time he literally gets buried alive (and nobody is shown digging him back up), not that anybody cares, because Scorpius is the most kino villain to ever exist.

>>717819743
I thought it was pretty obvious Braca saved him. Braca is his ace in the hole basically.

Anything is better than a nigger.

>>717819743
Dude really made the show.

>>717819802
Braca was a cool guy. I wonder what he was thinking every time he woke up to that one bitch telling him he was a real good fuck.

>>717813090

>>717820048
Ah, Elysium. That really was a nothing film.

>no proper HD release, just like all the other shows I liked
It's 2025 and I still have to download rips from 20 years old DVDs. Shit sucks, man.

I really wanna watch farscape but I can't find it on pirate sites in my language. That actor did ok in Stargate SG1 but those last seasons were rough so

>>717820048
Blompkam should stop making movies in dusty south african shitholes desu
I know it's his sthick but holy shit, I don't care if a mudhut gets blown up, it's the equivalent of shlocky action scenes where cheap 2006 corollas and bmws get blown up, it's fine but boring as hell

>>717820174
There are Blu-ray rips but they’re not exactly remastered or anything because they lost the original film or whatever.
>>717820181
Like a dub? What language? I’ve only ever heard of there being a German dub.

>>717820486
Yeah a whole dub. Our country actually does dubbing really well but sci-fi and the alike have never been popular so I wouldn't be suprised if this never aired altogether here.

>>717812370 (OP)
I'm a highly trained professional. I don't need to hear all this.

>>717819890
A shame Scorpy had to compromise on his goal due to the show being cancelled and needing to cram the rest of the plot into a 2 hour movie
>I'M NOT GONNA STOP UNTIL EVERY SINGLE SCARRAN OUT THERE IS FUCKING DEAD
>what's that, a peace treaty? all according to plan

>>717820583
I assumed he was fine with it because John nuked the plant and that means the Scarren empire is gonna collapse when they revert to dumb lizards.

>>717818794
It became my favorite show of all time after a rewatch. I liked it the first time but I was mostly distracted with the crazy tech/aliens and psychological elements. A rewatch allowed me to pay closer attention to the characterization and storytelling, and there’s some great shit in there. John and Aeryn are maybe the best romance/duo of all time.
Also although it would have been cool for the show to have an extra season or two, it being 4 seasons + PK Wars makes it very digestible and easy to rewatch.

Superman was based on Samson. he was made by practicing Jews

>>717821597
>main character is cloned and each go on separate storylines for half a season

No other show has the balls to even attempt this.

>>717813410
>super hard sci-fi because they get too hung up on the science over the storytelling
Actually I would rather have some higher degree of hard science since it makes everything else more grounded and therefore, most of the ideas more tangible in their implications, which is the point of sci-fi after all.

Hence, I would rather an alien species that need to be treated like disease since their enantiomer are mirrored and their pathogens and food could mean apocalypse for humanity than the simple placeholder for racism nº 102 that we usually get.

>>717821862
I loved this scene, you could tell the showmakers just said "fuck it we are going to have fun and thats it, that is the whole point"

>>717813786

>>717822325
>"Never underestimate your audience. They're generally sensitive intelligent people that respond positively to quality entertainment"
If only they knew

>>717822203
That’s a pretty important scene because it encourages Moya John to live up to himself and go on the mission to confront Scorpius. Also finally seeing the true destructive power of what Talyn John sacrificed himself for at the end of Peacekeeper Wars is retroactive kino layering.

Notice its either half elf which is half human or surface eves which are white looking and barely look any different.

>>717823190
Anon, the reason people picked half-elves en masse is because it had cool face presets available unlike humans. Without any hint of irony, this is the sole reason.

Tell me, John; if Farscape is so great, why does it have no good video games?

>>717823754
Because by 2002 bongs had already started forgetting how to make good games.

Farscape is Australian
