An Overview of The Science Fiction Genre

(THIS LENS IS STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION!)...this section is being edited and shall return shortly...

IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT MY LENSES STARTED IN FALL of 2008:
ALL OF THEM SHALL REMAIN UNDER CONSTRUCTION FOR THE NEXT FEW WEEKS!

Due to unexpected circumstances, (an illness and a death) I will be offline for the next few weeks. As a result, the construction of all of my lenses has been put on hold until I am able to return online again.

I hope to be back online by late January or early February. Sorry for the inconvenience, please check back again later.

Does Sci-Fi Always Mean Aliens?

and Do They Alwaays have to invade?

I'm on another planet in a distant galaxy, so, yeah I've got aliens in mine.

Sci-fi doesn't require aliens though: The Island of Doctor Morue is one of the best sci-fi's ever written, and not only has it no aliens, but it never leaves the planet. In fact the whole thing takes place on a tiny island in the mid-1800's, and has a total of 3 characters: the mad scientist, his servant, the guy trapped on the island.

Likewise X files is sci-fi and most of the early episodes dealt with ghosts and cryptology, not aliens.
