But there is logic in almost everything: there are future references everywhere! Real food (as opposed to synthesized proteins) is a rare commodity, the RICH guys have laser guns or state of the art display devices. Hard to accept? Partially yes, of course. The poor grunt is like the cowboy in a typical western movie. These outer rim planets, out of reach of the civilised Alliance, are a no-mans-land, with superstitious, uneducated fools, where the strong fist rules - if you have the most men and guns behind you, you are the law. You have little, old, dirty small villages with a saloon and stuff. ![]() They trade cows, they use old revolvers, drive horses and dress in western-style garments. Still sounds reasonable, no? The catch is: all these outer rim worlds look like you have been thrown into a cheap spaghetti WESTERN movie. Settlers are dumped on planets with next to nothing, exploited to recover raw materials, used as cheap labor, trying to survive. They don't have a developed infrastructure and such. But, and this is a capitalized BUT: There are also the outer rim planets. You have core planets, which are like one would imagine future worlds: Big, beautiful buildings, hight tech gadgets, spaceships and shuttles, modern weapons (some that don't kill by using some kind of sonic boom), flat displays, a modern, digital credit system instead of localised currency, a totally diverse people influenced by every imaginable culture, heavily influenced by the chinese society, the only remaining superpower besides the USA and so forth. The one thing you have to swallow, without thinking about it, is, that in this particular science fiction universe, the future looks like this: It is like the James Bond movies, if you don't accept, as a premise, that Bond, James Bond, can do everything, fly, drive, shoot, use *every* piece of machinery on the planet, that he can shoot better than all his adversaries (who all miss, all the time) and gets *all* the babes, if you don't accept this, you have to hate James Bond movies, because they are ridiculous. ![]() If you can't cope with it, you won't like it, because it will smack you in the face in every episode.
