> Really? Batman is fantasy. You start by breaking the rules.
People have swallowed this 'breaking rules' catfish, hook line and sinker. As a tech, you should aspire to dispel it in entirety, across Culture. Bach and Beethoven 'broke' rules of voice-leading - but those were conditional upon diatonic sensibility. The resulting orchestration was not fantastic (let alone sensational), but merely more complex.
The earliest science fiction shows used fantastic (rather than sensational) elements to explore exciting concepts. But the testament that the average human is still of a tribal mind is shown in the scifi that overshadowed those early shows, and that has borne into current times.
@URherenow: you're loveable, but you ARE a dork. There is treatment.
Scifi frauds. SF illuminates.
