Before taking this class, I thought science fiction is just something that is exciting that people normally see in the movies. Even though I saw a lot of science fiction movies, I thought it was only something that looks cool. However, after finishing this quarter, science fiction is kind of different from what I thought before. I watched almost all episodes of ‘Firefly’, and also watched two movies about science fiction. As we know, it was the same that the story takes places in the space and there are wars between human and human or human and aliens. However, the science fiction stories we saw and read in this quarter were different from other stories like ‘Star Wars’. Although they are not fancy like ‘Star Wars’, they have some serious stories and it was kind of funny to see those kinds of science fictions. The two movies we watched in class were confusing. They were really hard to understand even though I watched all parts of the movie. It might be because they were short. However, for the ‘Firefly’, while I watched almost all of the episodes, it was easy to understand. Also, I wrote many papers about science fiction in the class and it was really hard to write at the beginning of the quarter. However, after writing many papers, I think I can write them better and faster than before. I am not sure that I will have a chance to write about science fiction in my lifetime. It was really great time to do it and I hope I can do it again someday.
