I love hard scifi. I love any fictional stories that can setup new worlds/universes with fantastical breaks from our own reality, and create strict rules about those breaks. It keeps my skeptical mind busy thinking about the story and its constraints, allowing me to "suspend my disbelief" for a time and be drawn into the story. If the cynical side of mind has something to keep it busy, the dreamer in me can escape for a bit.

These guys are acting like it should be realistic in relation to OUR LIVES. That's what I'm talking about
