Sadly enough. A vision of mandatory homosexuality by brain modification . . . I personally think the author hit the right tone, but how it will play against 21st century views is anyone's guess.
It would be more interesting if they got dumbed-down and exaggerated in parallel with the relationship between the novel and movie versions of Starship Troopers. Perhaps we'd see a bunch of gay hippies tripping their way across the galaxy, occasionally shooting at things, some of which aren't hallucinations.
*shudders* Please, don't even mention that abomination. Heinlein fans everywhere will spend the rest of their lives trying to convince the unsuspecting victims of that farce that it bears no relationship beyond it's name, to the wonderful story Heinlein told.
I agree it was awful, but its awfulness arose in part from the fact that it *did* have a relationship beyond its name to the novel. It was like a vicious caricature or parody of the original. If it were simply unrelated, it wouldn't be so dismaying.
