Sadly most Sci-fi is just like fantasy, sci-fo for sci-fi's sake. There are a few really great sci-fi authors though, ones who get it, or got it I should say since most of them are dead. lol.

It's not scientific unless you can “measure” it, which Freud, Jung, and the other psychoanalysists couldn't really do. Doesn't mean their work is invalid or unimportant. Just a side effect of it being the way it is. But I'd agree about fantasy. Things are just because they are. They don't really go into why people believe the things they do.
Not entirely true anymore. While there is still some of what they proposed that hasn't been tested (mainly due to current ethical standards and of course some of it would be impossible anyways) a lot of their work has been tested. Of course a lot of it was debunked by they still contributed in a lot of ways. They laid down the foundations for a lot of what we now research.

It's been tested, yes, but not in a purely scientific, empirical way — hard evidence. Patient reports don't count, they're objective.

World War Z. Awesome read and is significantly better than the movie adaptation.

At first I had seen the movie before I read the book so I thought the movie was actually good. But then once I read the book and saw how badely the movie butchered the book I was actually a little pissed. Such a great book and the movie didnt even come close to hitting the mark.

I'd like it to go on the record as saying that I didn't think the movie wasn't awful, it just wasn't very good. Some parts were okay, but I can't forgive the use of crappy CGI zombies.

I thought it was pretty bad, even in comparison to other summer style movies, which says a lot.
