I’m glad at least one science fiction writer hasn’t been swept away by Star Trek Next Generation PC nonsense.

Same here, I had a hard time watching TNG (in the different incarnations) these days since just about all of it so PC.

I am in the Babylon 5/Crusade camp for TV sci-fi. I don’t know JMS’s politics or anything but B5 didn’t have a lot of touchy-feely stuff in it. Got to love a series that uses nuclear weapons from time to time.

Lookup http://starwreck.com/ for a good, subtitled (Finnish, I think) parody of both Star Trek and B5. There is an embedded trailer on the page. About 2:15 in is something really funny, at least to me. The whole movie is worth watching. It was played a lot at the last Dragoncon.

Science Fiction writers have a Conservative bent, Scott is a rat, I have never read his stuff, so I can not judge his political bent, in his writing.

One of the things that I have noticed is the number of kids enlisting. I was at the Supermarket the other day and the Cashier said, while I was buying a carton of butts, "Can't smoke, have to my lungs clear, I enlisted in the Air Force.

I told her, "When I did my Final PT test in Infantry AIT, 1965, I was on KP, I smoked a half of a pack (Humps) from 0300 to 0830, ran the course and got the hell out of that place.

Picard and his crew were the biggest bunch of space sissies since Pigs in Space!
