Of coarse I love Star Wars and Star Trek. I play Star wars galaxies online. LOVE THAT GAME!!!!
My favorite tv Sci Fi series was Sliders. I love ones that make you think "This could really happen. Or at least they portray it that way. It has to be somewhat believable.

I'm a major sliders fan. the last season got a bit weird as the lost key cast members but the USA series was great and the Sci-fi channel rescue of the series was actually an answer to prayer. Unfortunately I didn't have access to the sci-fi channel back then but I caught the episodes later in reruns when sci-fi became part of the basic cable lineup.

I never thought they did enough with the cro-mag story line. An occasional story thrown in almost as an after thought jsut seemed like a waste. The concept was ripe for ongoing drama. the team helping a planet recognize invasion. Cro-mags showing up in odd places to hunt them. A running chase and battle across multiple earths over several episodes like they managed with Maggie's CO. Absent that scenario I might not have been so accepting of her joining the show.
At the very least it gave a great theme for a later movie but the fiasco of changing Quinn's and wandering aimlessly in search of audiance in the last season killed much chance of that working.

I'm a Sci-fi fanatic from a way back. I have 4 Star Feet uniforms, all the badges, and like to go to the conventions. I love ANYTHING Sci-fi.
I guess you could say, I'm "spaced out" most of the time.
What I DO find interesting is, that a lot of stuff we used to think of as science fiction, has now in some ways become science fact.
I believe we are NOT alone in the universe. To me, to think that we are the only ones out here, is a total waste of galactic space. It doesn't make any sense to me that others would feel differently in this regard. With the billions of stars, and the billions of galaxys...it only natural to assume, that we are not alone.
I also believe that we HAVE been visited by ET, several times within our history.
Area 51 has always intrigued me for the longest time too. When I first saw the stealth plane, I actually thought it WAS alien.
So, Sci-fi buff? You bet!

That's really cool!
You know, I have this HUGE make-up kit, and one year I went to the Star Trek convention dressed up like a Klingon. Man, was it something! Problem was, I couldn't understand any of the other Klingons that were there. I hadn't learned the language yet.
But I LOVE your idea. That's really very clever.

I had an old toolbox my parents got me when I was a kid. the paint was wearing off in places and it was rusting so I stripped it sanded it and made stencils from several of the logas in the STARFLEET TECHNICAL MANUAL. I painted it white with logos that make it look like a maintenance kit for the shuttle Galilleo abourd the Enterprise A.

Hubby got me into watching alot of the sci-fi shows and although I don't have a favorite I do enjoy Lost in Space and Babylon 5. It's fun to see all the different races they've created and how they live together.

it started to get really interesting when writers and producers started getting experts to create whole new languages for the aliens. There have always been the occasional catch phrase from sci-fi aliens but, Klingon, Vulcan, Hutteese these are completely new inventions with grammar and syntax all their own. Even modifying ancient Egyptian for the language of the Go'uld was truly inspired.

He was a little unnerving but I didn't really dislike him until he fed the victems brain to the victem who was still alive and talking.

The fact that we had similar tastes in TV and movies was one of the earliest things to attract me to you.

books on tape and even radio shows have great possibilities. Ray Bradbury stories converted to full cast audio radio shows were on e of my earliest connections to radio being useful for something other than music. check out some of the short story compilations where one novel size book has a dozen or so stories from sci-fi writers. It gets you a quick read now and then and introduces you to several authors so you might find ones you like enough to check out more. Being a trucker I get a lot of my sci-fi from books on tape which can expand some of your favorite stories from tv and movies in ways you never imagined.
