User blog comment:Elseweyr/Mass Effect bubble soon punctured?/@comment-5607736-20130804012931

This is very interesting. What comes to mind for me is all those movies that show the earth being a waste land by line 2010 or earlier, or that we've made contact with aliens by like 2003. For me I just take it as a sign of a different time and move on, I don't consider any bubble punctured. Let's take one of my favorite movies for example, the Running Man, staring the most legendary man in history, Schwarzenegger. That movie has a timeline of 2017, and clearly we have tech that easily outdates what they have then, and there is no way that stuff is gonna go wrong enough in the next 4 years to end up like that. I don't find the premise unbelievable, or irrelevant, I just enjoy it for what it is. That's the beauty of any movie/game/tv show that tries to create a universe that we are suppose to believe or be a part of. part of us knows its fake, we just put that part on hold while we enjoy it.
