It’s a slightly click-baity title, but as we’re still generating more content for our magazines, this one included, why not?

Unpopular opinions from last time include:

  • My Sci-fi unpopular opinion is that 2001: A Space Odyssey is nothing but pretentious, LSD fueled nonsense.

  • I could not get into the expanse at all.

  • My unpopular opinion is that I don’t like space operas.

What’s yours?

    There’s way too little sci-fi w/o FTL

      All I want is a sci-fi series (any medium) that just plays in our solar system, without FTL, magical rocket drives, or aliens.
      Just “what can humanity achieve in the far future, realistically?”
      Cause even in 10000 years, we’re not going to have a star-system-spanning civilization (we may colonize other stars with hibernation or generation ships, but they’ll all be isolated by the distance). We’re not going to have much better rockets (cause the only way to move forward in a vacuum is to push stuff out the back).
      But we could terraform and live on or around all planets in our solar system even with current tech, given enough time.

      Expanse is very close, and I loved it, but it did have physics-breaking aliens which I didn’t care for much.

        Yeah, I loved the expanse - until they upped the stakes by breaking physics. I can’t help but wonder if it was the author running out of ideas, because he’d been doing so well in the first parts.
