JW Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Just love it! mainly TV and movies but I also enjoy the odd book.trying to get through all the Battlestar Gallactica episodes right now. I'm just obsessed with that show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontxhide Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I agree. I just watched Firefly which so far is my favorite science fiction television show! I just started watching Stargate SG1 and I like it so far. Each time I try to watch Battlestar Gallactica I get so lost on confused cause I think Im coming in on the series final episodes, right? I also like Star Trek: The Next Generation show. Movies I'm a huge fan and I have also written a couple science fiction short stories. Love the genre! If you want some science fiction in books where it doesnt seem like science fiction read some Vonnegut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 I think whatattracts me to it is that Sci Fi doesn't "dumb down" to the audience. (well most sci fi....) nothing worse for me than seeing a show or movie that has to unravel a plot like a sledgehammer! I'm surprised they haven't started using those little pop up boxes POP "He did it!!!" looking forward to the new Star Trek movie this year!! Haven't read much scifi lately . I think William Gibson was the last author I read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I loved the first two seasons of battlestar, the third season I felt started to trail off. Firefly may be my favourite show, either that or Dexter I think. http://pics.xxfx.org/images/gd/066.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JW Posted May 14, 2009 Author Share Posted May 14, 2009 Ah the ending. Well done I thought. I take it you're a fan!! I'm slowly getting through the episodes. I just love Gaius Baltar's character. Not too fond of Laura Roslyn though.... might be the only character I actually dislike in the entire show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fallen_Horse Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 It's definitely in my top 5 fav tv shows. I don't know where you are in it, but the season 3 finale is such an amazing ending to a season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW Posted May 15, 2009 Author Share Posted May 15, 2009 I'm in season 4 episode 5 right now. Absolutely loving it!!! The Cylon in-fighting is pretty cool.Just saw where one of the sixes offed the sargeant and was then offed by another sixso cool! and Baltar taking a stand at the entrance to his new home! LMAOHis internal dialogues with six just kill me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinisterkungfu Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Galactica was definitely an awesome show. Caprica looks like it should be pretty good too, judging by the pilot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beforewisdom Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 I've been a sci-fan since I was about 11. BSG has to be one of the best sci-fi TV series ever made. IMHO the best sci-fi is in print ( books ) and the best of the best is in short stories. There are still sci-fi short story magazines like "Analog". Most people think buff heros is shiny costumes and lasers blowing up is science fiction. Nope that is what is called "space opera". The best science fiction makes you think, fascinates you with ideas, is based on scientific realism and does a mind fuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW Posted May 19, 2009 Author Share Posted May 19, 2009 totally agree about the short story! I have found over and over again that short stories have been the most memorable for me. You just gave me a great idea for summer reading! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MollyMormon Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I am also a huge Firefly fan. I like Star Trek too, but always end up in those whose the best captain debates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sinisterkungfu Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 so who IS the best captain?? Archer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MollyMormon Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 so who IS the best captain?? Archer Agreed. I was partial to Janeway until Archer came along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fallen_Horse Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 WTF, Enterprise shouldn't even be considered Star Trek! What a waste of a series... Also, Kirk = Picard = Sisko = Janeway. They are all awesome because they all have different command styles that all rock... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW Posted May 20, 2009 Author Share Posted May 20, 2009 nobody can EVER equal Kirk in those fight scenes!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW Posted May 25, 2009 Author Share Posted May 25, 2009 just saw Star Trek last night and enjoyed it very much!!!I thought it was very well done. The casting was spot on, it moved along at a great pace, just a very good film! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW Posted June 24, 2009 Author Share Posted June 24, 2009 just watched the 3rd Matrix film again last night.not sure why I was disappointed with it the first time I saw it great action and I thought it tied things together pretty well. Definitely one of my favourite trilogies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
