Want bad SF?

Then simply follow Xeno's Arrow's 10 Laws of Bad Science Fiction and you too can create your own craptacular SF!

I wonder how many of these laws were followed in Terraforming Earth?

I don't know that Terrforming Earth breaks any of those rules. But I did notice that the same site has a Cthulhu Poetry page!

The rules are OK, but you'll note that all the examples they cite are television and/or movies. I'm sure we could come up with a much better set if we looked at written SF as well.

In general, I think most television SF is where written SF was in the 1940's-1950's...

Not just that, Fred; it seems like those rules are made up solely from Star Trek -- take any number of episodes and they will easily fulfill all 10 of those rules.
