== Questions ==
[http://www.box.net/shared/oturip7hjg | PDF Version]
I rather put them here, before I forget


'''Formal stuff'''
Please consider the respective copyrights applying.
* how do I address the reader? I, we, one..., personal or impersonal (one), I used impersonal before but personal is much easier
* how to quote epsiodes? Time signatures?
*
 
'''Genre theory'''
* there's a lot about literary and film genre theory
* I'd rather like to give a short account on genre theory discourse and point the stuff that is actually applicable instead of repeating countless voices from theorists - well, that's a large amount and I don't how to deal with it. I already quoted/summarized some opinions: Aristotle, Plato, Goethe, triads, Genette, Croce
 
''' Chapters '''
* not sure if I should give an overview of science fiction film, seems dispensable (???)
* the overview draft is much too long: currently I am planning three core chapters: virtual realities, time travel and "sui generis" (the Star Trek series & films)
* extra (though this may be too much, irrelevant): parodies, star wars
* I have absolutely no estimation of chapter length, genre theory may fill 20 pages max, virtual realities covers 3 episodes (from the presentation) and some more on the side, time travel maybe 3-4, sui generis probably 20 pages as well... I am really in the dark here...
