The handwaving "science" part. And then in the end there's this deus ex machina plot point that comes out that makes all the rest of the plot utterly pointless.
I've read a lot of SF, that was the worst because I had such high hope for it after reading what everyone had to say about it. And it turned me off reading anything that's won a Hugo entirely. That and Redshirts...
That definitely makes sense. What's a good SF book you've read recently?
Mainly short story anthologies for the last year. Been bingeing Dozois' Years Best series and moved into Strahan's recently.
Oh nice, thanks for the recommendations
