this reads like the beginning of neuromancer

dude i specifically said “technically does not belong” as a wink for people who know and you took it so seriously that i regret that i replied at all. i even said star wars is supposed to be a long time ago and you still kept going

spoiler alert

it’s not that it’s an optimistic take on the future, it’s that it’s not a take on the future at all.

did you not watch the finale?

yeah but that’s not the relevant part. the list is about pessimistic takes on the future.

also star wars takes place a long time ago so technically that doesn’t belong either

as a kid i was so convinced, near the end of 90s i thought “maybe there are huge advancements made but they’re saving it for the year 2000 so it’ll be bombastic like people have expected.”

instead we got fucking segway lol

never watched the original series but if you’re talking about the reimagined series BSG technically doesn’t belong in the list. don’t want to spoil why.
