I liked the Star Trek method. One or two we know and one/two made up. Especially when one is ancient, second is modern, and third is made up future.

It's a good method until they want to feature said past in the actual show: Voyager and Tom Paris' obsession with 50s cars.

Now, I will say it's more than plausible to be into a specific niche from a certain century, and Paris being into the scifi movies of the 1950s 400 years later tracks against, say, my personal interest in Carribean Piracy 1650-1730. It's not just a general vibe from 400 years ago, it's a specific place, time, and vehicle. But Voyager did it weirdly, by first saying Paris really loved old 50s scifi movie serials but then changed it to being how he's so into cars from America. I think it's possible to have a very narrow niche from 400 years in your own past, but showing it involves way more groundwork than Trek was willing to put in.

Of course, now that I write all that out, I feel like Paris' 50s scifi movie serials obsession was 1000000% legit compared to the cars and extrapolating that to space races.

It's kinda funny how no future-based things ever mention like, specifically the 384th remake of whatever modern movie (the 385th remake is due soon)

I wrote a fanfic with some dialogue of two characters complaining about "that awful remake of Eraserhead"

[(Anonymous)]

Oh I love stuff like this!

Uhhh my good friend the Jaws 19 hologram would beg to differ.

Shark still looks fake.

"Rocky Five...thousand!"

You mean none of the precisely two future-based things you've watched in your life?

i know why it happens but i absolutely hate references to current pop culture in sci-fi media

no. just. no. do you not have your own pop culture to reference? has there been zero entertainment in the past 400 years? oh my fucking god, shut up.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't mind it. We still make references to media from practically every era past, why would people in the future not do the same for us? It can be annoying if you personally don't think the specific thing being referenced will be one of the enduring pieces of media with the staying power to be recognized in the future, but all future settings are made-up speculation anyway so who cares.

This REALLY took me out of Alien: Earth.

It's one thing to reference Peter Pan. It's another thing to explicitly use clips from the Disney animated movie, because it just reeks of "HI WE'RE DISNEY LOOK AT HOW MUCH WE OWN!!"

What I hate is when alternate universe settings reference slightly different takes on real life media that would have no reason to exist in that universe. I read a book in a universe where there is no homophobia, but there was a reference to the two bros chillin in a hot tub meme. You know, a meme that was created to make fun of homophobia. Which isn't supposed to exist in that universe. So annoying.
