At least not anymore. Science fiction in the best, at least in the television scene (books are different with the whole cyberpunk thing) was the general optimistic feel that's ... just god damn fucking unpleasant.
Katie is welcome to "thrive on optimism" all she likes. But for me, with science fiction I pretty much wait for a whole other set of ten other shoes to drop after one of them.
Usually by a hangman's noose. Or a guillotine.
When you're molested by two school kids when you're seven, strangled by your principle and father, molested by your father, unapologetically have other kinds of verbal abuse done to you other shoes to drop is kind of a reasonable thing to fucking expect.
I especially distrust complements.
When speculative fiction is just so overbearingly optimistic, it's actually kind of a little bit mentally sick.
Hello Disney channel, kind of giving kids completely the wrong idea about the world.
