Quote - well apart from the fact Scott did'nt write Alien.. he directed it. it was written by Dan O'Bannon... and Bladerunner? again. he only directed it... sorry.. I'll listen to the ppl writing the Stories. like the guy that wrote 'The Empty Child / The Doctor Dances' and 'Human Nature / The Family of Blood' and 'Blink' for Doctor Who.... who prove that Science Fiction is not 'dead'....

 

I was hoping you'd contribute to the discussion, Khai.  Good points well made, buddy.

I deliberately ignored TV Skiffy in me rant because Doctor Who has proved (to me, at least) that intelligent Skiffy is alive and well in vision if not specifically in movies.  The last three seasons have revived my interest in the visual side of the genre and given it a much needed kick up the arse.  Unfortunately, for every Doctor Who there are Two Star Treks but there you go.

Good call with "Blink", btw, that's one of the best takes on the superhero stereotype I have ever seen.

I can forsee a couple of decades where Hollywood struggles to catch up with the Who franchise's innovations.
