What's your Sci-Fi unpopular opinion?

Most Scifi fans I have ran into can pretty quickly rank the four stars –BattleSTAR Galactica, STAR Trek, STARgate, and STAR wars, but what lesser-known or less-prestigious shows hold a special place in your heart?...
For me, it would be The Expanse, and Dark...
Hello Sci-fi fans and writers, I hope that this here is the correct spot to ask this question regarding a conundrum I have come about during my work on a sci-fi short Story....
Jennifer, I need some new science fiction to read, who has some suggestions? I don't like military sci-fi. For reference, my favorite series is the Expanse, I also enjoyed Scalzi's Collapsing Empire, I love Robert Charles Wilson's books. I mostly enjoy space operas and unique stories about technology, for example I really liked the recent book Mountain in the Sea about AI and intelligent octopus. Suggestions from the awesome Bookstodon community? @bookstodon #Bookstodon #Scifi #ScienceFiction
I saw an article for Star Wars Outlaws and it made me think of all the SW video games I've played over the years, starting from the original SW console game to X-Wing Alliance to Jedi: Survivor...
What’s a piece of SF that you just couldn’t get into, even though you feel like you should?...
I've been getting through more and more sci-fi books and would love recommendations on the books you've all enjoyed....
Despite Star Trek: Discovery's critical success, it was far from a fan-favorite. Though all four seasons boast an average 85 percent critical score, the audience score is at a dismal 37 percent. Since audience scores are more strongly correlated to overall viewership, Discovery simply wasn't pulling the numbers to make it a...
So far this year I have watched Metropolis and Zardoz for the first time. What are some other must see SciFi movies?

serdargunes, German How Sci-Fi Shaped Socialism
"From William Morris to Ursula K. Le Guin and Iain M. Banks, science fiction has provided an outlet for socialist thinkers – offering a break from a bleak political reality and allowing them to imagine a vastly different world."

NickEast, I didn't realise this was a thing, do people really think Mary Shelly wasn't the first SciFi author? 🤔

I always think of Margaret Cavendish as the first to write a science fiction novel - The Blazing World (1666).

True. What they don't usually tell you is that her husband Percy Shelley, was an established poet and novelist but without much success early on. He was not too happy when his young wife, got acclaim and fame - more than his - on her first novel.

Matt FractionGosh that was harder than I thought it would be. I felt like using #GraphicNovels might be cheating but I guess I don't read a ton of longer series otherwise.

The Event Horizon is great. So are the others that immediately come to mind. What’s your favorite forgotten/lesser known ship. Here’s the Cygnus from The Black Hole.

Apple TV+ has eclipsed other streamers' science fiction offerings
You've seen the famous aliens, planets and scientists, but now it's time to venture even farther into the depths of space.
The director's vision has always been somewhat... bland.
metin, Started a new SDF modeling project in MagicaCSG.
It's going to be a sci-fi drone. More updates will follow tomorrow.

kbob, @metin How much of this image did you have in your head when you started, and how much did you discover as you created it?
metin, @kbob I had the global shapes in mind: main part, propellers / fans at the sides, two "legs" / "arms" with guns, and the lens. The rest of the shapes and details were conceived as I went along.
veronica, Goddammit season 2 of Foundations is great. I'm annoyed at the end of every episode because it's the end of the episode. Only one more to go, and the suspense is killing me. Please don't let it be another two years until the continuation!
veronica, @shepgo We're probably looking at 2025, unfortunately.
Techronic9876, @veronica they’ve really done an amazing job with season 2
spoilers ahead I felt like the character conflict arcs were contrived and ultimately the idea of learning a language makes you a pre-cog fell flat for me. In science fiction, the big idea goes 'woo!' or the characters go 'woo!' but in the case of Arrival, nothing really went 'woo!'...
My favorites include:...
Back to the Future's 1.21 gigawatts sounds huge, but is it? We compare different power levels of common objects to see how much energy a gigawatt really is.
"Yes, I know. I know who's the Thing and who's not in the very end," he said during an interview with ComicBook.com. But if you were hoping for any elaboration, then keep on hoping. "Nope," Carpenter added when probed for more information. "Cannot tell you. Sorry,"...
