Reminds me of that wonderful line from Serenity.
It sounds like Science Fiction.
Honey, you live on a spaceship.
So, what's your point?
(Or something similar.)
Wouldn't the equivalent to Sci-Fi, depend on where you were? I mean to a TL3, talking about guns would be Science FIction.

MegaTraveller is a syndicated holo-vid series IMCTU - it's a bit like 24 and Alias. 
I agree that sci-fi is TLG+ - I imagine that alternative histories are popular as well.

Another series that resembles the Far Future of Traveller could be Blake's 7.
However, I would rather believe that the future of Traveller is somehow represented by a polygot state representing all the major races working together for a common end. Their endeavours are mainly scientific but the search for knowledge beyond Chartered Space, which is where the military has a role but it is very much subordinated to civilian aims. The noblest profession is that of scientist or academic.

No, the future of Traveller is Blakes 7. At least, it is IMTU ...
