“Science Fiction is often best read as an adolescent and therefore some of the most memorable and significant works in a readers lifelong list are going to be less than undying adult literature. That does not mean they aren’t great but just when comparing them to other genre you have a disconnect.”
Very sad, but unfortunately I agree.

Quite true. Oddly though, science fiction, even when mediocre in print, can make stunning film and TV entertainment. Blade Runner, 2001, Gattica, Star Wars, Dune in various incarnations, Alien and its immediate sequel, and Serenity come quickly to mind.
