Talk:Laws of Science Fiction

This article is in need of major reconstructive surgery. As a fan of sci-fi, I'm alright with making fun of space alien superheroes and evil monarchies of three-headed squid people, and I get the what the writer was trying to do, but I feel these "laws" just don't stereotype science fiction enough to be relevant or funny. Sci-fi is actually a very broad category of literature and most authors do write stories that take place on Earth or in the present, and it's not always about space. To the writer: Awesome idea, but you need to get your head out of Star Wars or Dune or whatever all this is about, and read some recent sci-fi. Might I suggest some Chricton?--DiZ 20:21, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
- I dunno... I think the analogies using such popular films as Star Wars and Dune help to make the article fit with popular conceptions... and thus mainstream readers who are only part-time Sci-Fi Devotees can get it easily. Still, Expansion is in Order.
- Touché....still, some of the jokes are just plain S.T.U.P.I.D. "High-pitched voices that remind you of cottage cheese"? Scantily-clad humanoid girls called JOHN? I want what that writer was smokin'. Others just seem to come more out of sci-fi games than books or even film. I could be wrong, though. If it can crack a laugh in even one greasy basement-dwelling Star Wars geek, Uncyclopedia has done its job with this article. --DiZ 14:09, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
