Alternate Worlds

"Alternate worlds" can be seen as a means for escape from real life. Yet, just like in the Star Trek episode, "The Royale," it can also be a trap from real life. I felt that the Star Trek episode was very weird. Not because of the story line, but because of the characters. But that's another story. The Matrix and Royale are pretty much the same in terms of the pleasure standpoint. The Matrix was definitely more of an upgrade in terms of quality of life in contrast to the real world in The Matrix. The Royale was a place in which all human pleasures took place... gambling, beautiful women, booze. The fact of the matter was that these places provided an escape, to a time more than a century earlier, and provided human pleasure. This could be the directors foreshadowing of bad times to come. Will alternate worlds ultimately take place as a form of entertainment in the future?
We already have video games. But with the way things are going with video games, alternate worlds would probably exist in a life-like form. Video games have become so complex the past decade that I have lost track and interest in video games (except sports games). But the fact that I play sports games is ideal that I do give in to alternate worlds.
The Farscape episode was just really weird. Is the dude really in Australia? I don't know. And the fact that everything around him was happeneing but not? It just made me really confused. Maybe I would understand it if I watched the whole thing?

Hey guys, I'm Ron. I am currently a freshman here at LaGuardia CC but this is not my first college experience. I was a student at John Jay College and I also took a few college courses in high school at York College. I am interested in learning about media and the in-and-outs of the entertainment industry and mass media. I am hoping to pursue a career in journalism or broadcast journalism, even though I am open to new ideas such as flim and photography.
