Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web.

While unregistered users are able to browse the forum on a basic level, registering an account provides additional forum access not visible to guests as well as the ability to join in discussions and contribute yourself! Registration is free and instantaneous.

OK, basically, I hate Star Wars. However, my uncle Barry loves it, so I keep on telling/texting him STS (sue the saga). I also hate Harry Potter, as it is just a lot of wizards and witches. And Star Wars is just a lot of astronauts fighting robots.

You dislike something popular. Well done, I've got a gold star around here somewhere...

While I'm looking perhaps you could elaborate on why you dislike Star Wars.

Hate is bad! Let's not set a precedent, eh?
Time flows like a river. Which is to say, downhill. We can tell this because everything is going downhill rapidly. It would seem prudent to be somewhere else when we reach the sea.

He's describing the prequels, there's nothing of note in that.

I would rather compare it to knights and wizards in what is otherwise a space opera setting. What happened to the last guy who said that?

May I also remind you that the objector was no common speculative evolutionist: it was FAKEY! Nobody messes with Fakey! (In retrospect, it's also probably how he survived to be with us today :rolleyes: ...)

On a more serious note, miocenemadnes could you go into a bit more detail about just what it is you hate about Star Wars, Harry Potter and whatever else you look down upon? It's hard to carry a conversation or relate based solely on your feelings.

(What is the point of this topic exactly..? You don't need to make a new topic to make a simple statement.)

A creepy guy leaned over to me in a library when I was a kid. He told me that Star Wars wasn't really science fiction, then walked away while I kept looking for stuff by Clarke and Baxter.

I wasn't even looking for Star Wars. The Temeraire came and said he had some free time because Naomi Novik was still writing slash fiction at that time so we went to the zoo.
