Hello all
I have ben
a fan of science fiction since I first saw Star wars Episode 5 the
empire strikes back, way back in 1987. Since then I have been a very
big fan of scifi. However it seems here lately though that there is
not much scifi on tv. I Think there are a couple of reasons for this.
1st off
the economy it is not cheap most scifi tv involves not just actors
but computer graphics and many other things that cost money. To be
honest while reality shows may not always be good they are cheap and
that matters in a bad economy.
2nd
imagination Somehow I believe we have forgotten how to
imagine new worlds. There was a point where we could imagine nearly
anything and now it seems we can not that. Now the only thing we can
imagine is the next american idol.
3rd risk
most tv is risk adverse they want a sure thing, which is hard to come
by in todays world and espically the taste of people.
4th more options a long time ago the only ay people saw tv shows was through a tv now they got many other options and tv is beginning to feel like an antique concept. if this doesn't change then it will be
it is my belief that
if something does not change then tv as we know it will go bye bye we
need to imagine again whether that is worlds in space or worlds of
fantasy or just new worlds in general and tv needs to take risks again or else they will fall to
the wayside while those who take risks gain the viewers they so
deserve and push the boundries of what is possible.
