🌕 More Light Clark🕯  

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 !

@MLClark Solving problems with space battles. was supposed to be about "making friends of enemies," as David Gerrold once put it, but these days most SF epics try to outdo each other blowing things up.

Special mention for J.J. Abrams' lens flares.

Pff. Next thing you're going to tell me, Section 31 was supposed to be a cautionary tale and a site of deep narrative unease, not fodder for a swanky, high-thrills space adventure starring Michelle Yeoh as a reformed genocidal queen! 🙄

@MLClark Why tell you what you already know?!

Another one that annoys me is the "evil admiral" who always comes in to be the antagonist of the week.

To be more generic, I'd have to give some thought to evil highers-up who come in with some agenda to frak up our protagonists.
