As I've mentioned before (see Sunshine, Gattaca), there is far too little sci fi being created these days. Sure, there's soap opera in space (see Battlestar Galactica), there's western in space (see Firefly), and there's plenty of horror in space. I like all those types, too. But there's too little science fiction in the sense of the true masters. Sci fi is meant to push the boundaries of science, not necessarily a lot, but just a little, to create situations of tenuous morality. Then the science can be set aside and the story is about the people, and how mankind in its brilliance adapts and coexists.
