What cliches have you seen simply too many times? What character types are you sick of? What plot lines have you rolling your eyes? What SF cliches should be banned forever?

cliche? miraculous technology that obviously is a throw in to resolve a sticky plot point...obvious sign of the lazy author.

Character? Retief or anyone like him.

plot lines? The hero with miraculous abilities/reflexes intelligence, whatever, likewise abominably stupid villians.

banned? BEMs, for the most part. especially the ones after our women.

Regards,
M. Graham
