Ok I admit it even at 50 sumthin Im a scifi dweeb, but they are a LOT like a space westerns so just out of curiosity how many here will admit to liking one or more of the Scifi brands out there
A list of mine are
Star wars, Firefly, Farscape, Some later Star Trek stuff and even Lexx(how many remember that?)
Now with stargate,battlestar galactica etc still being on the air I know SOME of ya'll got to like some of them....:rolleyes:
so as not to hijack the other thread i will admit here that i enjoy the star wars series. really liked the star trek movie reboot.
firefly/serenity gets a huge thumbs up for creative writing, humor, the use of a cigar box AND the hottest woman in the 'verse (Christina Hendricks before madmen) YoSafBridge...or wait, maybe its the Ambassador? um...both? mmmmmmm
I a bit a of a sci-fi junky myself. The Firefly series and Serenity are on the top of my list.
Yeah—Firefly/Serenity, and the TV Star Trek shows. I tried the Star Trek movies, but they all seemed contrived, and weren't as good.
Our daughter turned us on to Firefly/Serenity. It's nice to have a child who "gets it," although she also likes Dr. Who.
I was just recently pointed to Firefly, during a minor convalescent period. My son brought over the full box set, and it made a week of general misery much more tolerable. I enjoyed it so much that I went out and bought Serenity at the end of the week, and enjoyed that, as well. Great series, too bad it met the axe.
In a related note, I've also decided I like television shows much better without commercials... :mrgreen:
YUP That is why I have all the below full box sets to watch at my leisure(for the 4bazillionth time:mrgreen:)Quote:

and SOLDIER with Kurt Russel Very good movie and he says maybe 50 words thru the whole flick.
And thats just some of them
Told ya I was a scifi dweeb:oops:
The original "Outer Limits" series
Oh yeah, the original Outer Limits. I have the whole DVD collection.
I miss the Star Gate shows on tv. Loved SG 1 and Atlantis.
Big fan of ST TNG. Love Star wars. And, while not quite that kinda sci-fi, I loved Highlander The Series.
Yeah I went with scifi because its my favorite but Highlander and Underworld and Van Helsing and stuff like that is good too I just consider them fantasy not scifiQuote:

My wife says I'm a sci-fi nerd. She's right. I love all these you guys are listing. But I REALLY miss.... The X Files. I know, more alien / supernatural terra based drama than "sci'fi", but my all time fav. Got all 9 seasons. But can only watch them when no one is looking...
My avatar! I forgot about it until the last post. Too funny!
Sci-fi nut, yup. Pert near all the above beet watched (repeatedly)and enjoyed.
how about Buck Rodgers in the 25th century I have the dvds for it Randy
I liked the highlander movies, stargate, and Cleopatra 2525 (anyone know of this one?)
I do wish that Enterprise would have had a longer run
And of course the cancellation of Firefly was one of the biggest mistakes in tv history
Fond of Firefly and ST:TNG here. I'm also a fantasy fan, and I'm currently waiting for A Game of Thrones to start back up.
I've heard good things about Dr. Who and was looking at picking it up. What's your take on it, Steve?Quote:

LOLOLOL--LOVE Firefly
Or the scene where Mal negotiates with the merc? "Now here is the money. You go tell Victor that we don't want no troubloe withhim nor his. I don't see no need for us to ever lay eyes on one another in the whole big verse...
Thug--Keep the money. Use it to buy a funeral, because the last thing in this life that you will see will be my blade...
Mal--Darn...<kicks the guy off the ramp, and he is sucked through the running engne. Goes to the next guy...> Now, here is the money..."
Next guy"Right, right--best thing for everybody really!"
LOLOLOLOL
Sorry: I've been away on vacation, visiting our granddaughter (oh, yeah—and her family, too).Quote:

Our daughter sent us the brand-new version, and it's "sexier," and more maturely written and reasoned-out, but the premise still comes across as hokey.
I still don't like it.
