Suspension of Disbelief

Seen on a mailing list I'm on...

Ken Burnside:

Agreed 100% on the Whiney Doomed Angstman aspect.

The other thing that boggled my mind when reading it was that the enemy ships (which were presented as Overwhelming and Unbeatable) were spacegoing fish that spat acid.

Which utterly and completely blew my suspension of disbelief out the airlock.


Rick Robinson:

Only out the airlock? Mine would fly off at relativistic velocities. Does suspension of disbelief have a mass? If so, there's the ultimate operatic space drive for you. :)


Heh.
