All right. Switching gears to fiction-writing, after some tedious administrivia this afternoon, carried forward from yesterday's ridiculous 3-hour meeting & debrief.
What is your LEAST favourite sci-fi trope? Bonus points if it's something that gets done to death on #StarTrek!
I really don't mind stories of 'the chosen one,' provided they aren't exceedingly predictable, but that's about the only trope that really stands out to me.
Well, that and easily understood alien motivations. They're alien and I expect alien paradigms G-dangit!
Heck yes! I always want more alien-aliens! Make 'em WEIRD.
And make 'em think WE'RE weird! I want more aliens grossed out by humankind!
