Last I checked, lack of time was an issue, so no subscription to Netflix can fix that.

MoSeS:
You can also watch a lot of shows via the networks site. I don't know about Canada, but I watched It's Always Sunny via FX website, I watched the Pilot of The Gates via ABC website. Those are free.

But yeah I get the time issue. For me I waste way too much time with Video Games when I should be catching up on movies and TV shows, and maybe some good books.

Ok, I think I get I get it now, Sicence Fiction is basically like other fiction like Harlequin Romance, where it is realistic, but the characters and story fictional vs. fantasy where anything goes.

Science fiction has to have universe rules that allow the existence of a science.   It doesn't have to be our  science.

MoSeS:
Well if it a made-up science, doesn't that kind of loop back to Fantasy then?

It can, if you don't use the science you've made up as a science within the work you're writing.  

(Merely using technological products such as pulling the trigger on a blaster isn't using a science, it's using a technology.   I would call it tech-fantasy.)

Of course, then you've also just wasted the ton of work and imagination that it takes to actually make up a logical rules science.
