Well I think it’s bloody GREAT!
Seriously (almost), there are few places where you can have a good ol’argument about censorship in sci fi. It bugs the hell outa me. I think [b]all[/b] yer opinions are excellent!
Dalek, I dissagree with a lot of what you think, but you are a well read peeps and knowledgable about lots of sci fi stuff – so I wanna hear it!
We can dissagree with anyone, in a bulletin board. It’s not like we are arguing over the bar on a pub, it’s not like one of us is about to throw his/her beer over us for having such opinionated views. Hell, if you were to meet me in a pub you’d prolly think I was all shy and innocent [img]http://www.sadgeezer.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img]
There are so many places where hosts have ‘vested interests’ and limit the debate on topics as sensitive as censorship. I really enjoy this thread BECAUSE it’s so hot.
Oh, and by the way, tits and bums in sci fi is ok provided my grandma isn’t in the room while I’m watching. I know thats sexist but I’m a sadgeezer and I’m not too ashamed of it (at least until I get sober in the morning [img]http://www.sadgeezer.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img] ).
The thing that bothers me about the whole censorship issue, is the fact that Lex Giggerof will write something that he thinks is cool and then go back and edit it because the censors might not think it suitable for the viewing public.
I’ve met the dude and he’s as nuts as any of us. I’d LOVE to se his stuff without the benefit of the censors scalpel and I hate the idea of some git determining what I am able to watch without losing a screw (going nuts).
Gametown (or Girltown [img]http://www.sadgeezer.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img] ) is not going to make me want to go out and aggressively fondle some poor pedestrian, and I resent some dude deciding to cut scenes because he/she thinks that I might.
Gigeroff, Donovan and the rest are very cool writers who have produced some whacky and innovative sci fi that we all enjoy – I wonder what they would have produced if they didn’t have to worry about censorship.
Finally [img]http://www.sadgeezer.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img] (drunken rant is almost over) Two episodes of Angel were cut from Sky One in the UK because they were considered too violent/pornographic/gory for cable tv viewers in the UK. If you think you have it bad, remember that we also have complete tosspot/dickhead/morons on the British Board of Film and TV Censors. (One episode was with Cordelia pregnant by a demon – yep, that storyline got the whole episode axed!).
Ok, rant over [img]http://www.sadgeezer.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img]
