As put together with my non-sci-fi-girlfriend…

1. commandment

Never demean sci-fi. It is not just a fantasy genre, it is closely connected to a culture, religion, attitude, philosophy and worldview. For sci-fi lovers it is dishonor of their beliefs.

4.commandment

Never fall asleep while watching sci-fi. For sci-fi lovers it is the same as falling asleep while having sex or yawning while looking at Le Radeau de la Méduse.

2. commandment

Never mix heroes from Star Wars, Star Trek or Start Whatever. For sci-fi lovers it is the same as confusing Cyrano with Romeo.

3. commandment

Never call Dart Wader Snuffling Robot, even though you cannot remember his name. For sci-fi lovers it is an act of blasphemy.

5. commandment

Never refuse clarification of your poor sci-fi knowledge. For sci-fi lovers person who refuses sci-fi education is the same as an illiterate person refusing being educated.

6. commandment

Never say that you can do without sci-fi. Nobody can live to the fullest without sci-fi.

7. commandment

Never let your concentration be distracted while watching sci-fi. Do not let food, beverages or reading text messages or any other external factors to make you miss an important detail.

8. commandment

Never talk about anything not directly connected to the sci-fi movie being watched, abstain from inappropriate comments, never leave the screen to do chores (except for if you say “I’m gonna finish cleaning those ‘droids“)

9. commandment

Never say that there is too much fight in Star Wars. That is why it is called Wars.

10. commandment

Never disobey any of these commandments.
