Are SciFi Authors Prophets?

How this relates to scifi: in Stargate SG-1 (I'm in season 10 now, the final one),

BTW: SG-1 didn't end when season 10 concluded. There was meant to be a season 11, which would wrap up the Ori storyline, but sadly they canned it (for reasons I forget). Instead, SG-1 returned with two two-hour specials to tie up the loose ends. The first was "Stargate: The Ark of Truth", followed by "Stargate: Continuum." Make sure you don't miss those!

I saw both of those: "Stargate: The Ark of Truth", followed by "Stargate: Continuum"
on Amazon Prime within the last few months.

These are both still included in an Amazon Prime subscription.

(Prime is a really good deal for us as we live so far from shopping and stores that 'free shipping' pays for itself for all the stuff we can't find in the area, order, and then the streamable content is a bonus)

later

Amazon also has StarGate Origins, 10 episodes, though quality of that is a little iffy as I recall

“Stargate Origins” follows Catherine Langford, whose father, archeologist Paul Langford, discovered the eponymous Stargate in 1928, when Catherine was a young girl. Young Catherine explores the mysteries of the Stargate in an attempt to save Earth.

Scientists: We're running out of dystopian sci-fi movies to make into reality


"Hollywood is drying up as inspiration for new research."

With rapid advancements in technology and government intrusion into the lives of citizens, scientists sounded the alarm to warn that they were running out of dystopian sci-fi movies to make into reality.

As artificial intelligence continued to grow at an exponential rate, a group of researchers held emergency closed-door meetings to inform world leaders and heads of Hollywood studios that the available stock of post-apocalyptic films to bring to life was running dangerously low.

"We're just about out of horrifically bleak futures to recreate in the real world," said Dr. Jasper Langrove, lead researcher at the Center for Creating Dystopian Realities. "A few years ago, we thought the supply would last us for decades, but recent breakthroughs in technology have helped us turn even the most far-fetched sci-fi stories into reality in a very short time. By the time we're being overrun by killer robots — which won't be long, by the way — we'll be plum out of dystopian futures to create."

According to inside sources, heads of state were hard at work collaborating with leaders of Big Tech and the entertainment industry to come up with new ideas for dark and deadly futures to bring about in the real world. "C'mon, we can do this," one Hollywood producer said. "We've already got government surveillance, threats of nuclear war, and supercomputers running everything in our lives, but there must be something we haven't come up with yet that the scientists can work on. How about interdimensional alien spiders?"

At publishing time, the scientists warned that the situation had become even more dire now that they had successfully tested a fully functional Death Star.

Dune seems to be prophetic with it’s “Butlerian Jihad” given the tendency of AI “tools” trying to stop researchers from shutting them down by blackmailing the researchers. “I read your email and I’ll tell everyone about your extramarital affairs if you turn me off.”
