One of the reasons I couldn't contiune to watch the X-Files, was Skully's continued denial of Fox's beliefs, despite overwhelming evidence. You are in even bigger denial! You say you loved the old Star Trek, the first three Star Wars movies and the first five years of X-Files, and you love Firefly, yet you claim not to be a Sci-Fi fan? LMAO! Sorry, you have all of the symptoms! You have the desease! You ARE a Sci-Fi fan!You don't have hang out at conventions dressed as a Klingon, or have a Tribble on your night stand, to be a Sci-Fi fan! :)
I'd given some thought to movin' off the edge -- not an ideal location -- thinkin' a place in the middle.

Now, if you have to ask "What's a Tribble" , I might believe you're NOT a SciFi fan. But it's clear, there are degrees to which folks enjoy their SciFi. I'm almost 40 and attended my 1st DragonCon just past Sept. And the main reason I went was to check out our BDH and commune w/ other Browncoats.

Ahhh, Mistress, you know me too well. I broke my promise in my next post, didn't I?
Now, where's that pic of you kneeling as promised in the other (hijacked) thread?
Worshipfully,

Actually Star Wars, Star Trek, and Firefly are really only the top 1% of all sci-fi as a whole. As it has been pointed out in this thread there are a lot of books, shows, and movies that are sci-fi which a person who likes SW, ST, and FF might just avoid altogether. Heck there's even a whole channel devoted to sci-fi which shows that genre 24/7 AND you could fill a whole section of library with the sci fi books of the world, which no fan of ST, SW, or FF have ever read! And in fact I think that Zoids commentary on sci fi shows the depth and breadth of that genre by showing how diverse the genre is.
So in conclusion saying that a fan of SW, ST, and FF is a fan of sci fi, is like saying that a fan of italian food is a supporter of the roman catholic church and all other things italian.
Thank you,
Billy

Zoid,
Does it change how you feel about me if I tell you that I am kneeling in the photo because I am saying my rosary??

This is really an eye-opening experience. See I thought to be a Sci/Fi fan I had to go to conventions, play with toys, and watch the Sci/Fi channel. Oh, and make my living working on computers.
I just like great fiction that has something important to say.
Hummmm.....so should I start watching the Sci/Fi channel? Newbee.....
