If Twilight Zone is Sci-Fi, then that. Nothing else, really. Occasionally Enterprise, during baseball because the Simpsons wasn't on.

For movies, I love The Fifth Element. Leeloo is so shiny. Back to the Future, Young Frankenstein (Well, it's almost Sci-Fi), and I don't know, really.

I also enjoy CSI and Monk. And Casablanca and Roman Holiday.

Happy Holidays! Keep flyin'!

watched a lot of b5 while it aired (now i got dvd's of it) 2001:a space odyssey is good, as well as apollo 13 (contact, with jodi foster is worthwhile). most of star treks with borg storylines were good. andromeda, that show is wrong on so many levels. long story short, it's a mess! sg1 is a decent sci-fi show. i like rda from mcgyver! i'd be remiss for of course not mentioning FIREFLY! enterprise is a half baked hodge-podge of junk! (it's like something gene roddenberry threw up in the toilet and wouldn't flush down). liked the first dune mini-series, second one not so good. the ALIENS movies were oh so very good. first predator movie had interesting points. anybody READ any good sci-fi lately? recommmendations?

p.s. how could i forget FARSCAPE. that show will be missed!

Firefly is my all time favourite show but I also enjoy:

Star Trek TNG, DS9, Voyager and Enterprise.

Space above and Beyond.

Babylon 5.

Stargate Sg1.

My favourite Sci Fi movie is Aliens.

I have got all the Star Trek and Star Wars books. I even named my kids after Han Solo and Princess Leias kids. Serious. :)

I dream and daydream Sci Fi..

Nothing right now.

Used to watch some ST:NG, the last few seasons of Quantum Leap and Twin Peaks. Caught a few X-files eps I liked as well.

Just found out from sci-fi wire that Tru Calling is adding a seven episode arc with Jason Priestley during February sweeps.

Guess Fox wants to kill off that show too!

(which is good for us potential Faith the Slayer fans)

Ah, but do you consider 24 science fiction? After the last couple episodes where what's his face is up walking around and having conferences with the president after getting shot! in the neck! that they've treaded right into science fiction.

We'll watch X-Files and ST:TNG in rerun.

If the X-Files is sci-fi, does that let me have a pretty broad definition?

If so, then also Buffy in rerun.

I really enjoy The Dead Zone and hope they start showing season three pretty soon. We'll watch Dead Like Me when that comes back on, too.

My newest favorite show is Carnivàle. It's not science fiction, per se, but it's definitely some kind of genre tv-- most people compare it to Twin Peaks. Most Firefly fans I've talked to about it really, really enjoy it. And its second season is supposed to start airing 'late 2004' according to the hbo press releases.

I've noticed that many people love watching SG-1. I've never seen more than I few seconds of commercial, but I'd like to hear about why people dig it.

Hmmm, well, I think 24 is an strangely warped parallel universe that in many ways resembles ours, yet is ... different. That's Science Fiction all the way.

Excellent. That must also justify how "three years ago" Kim was dumb enough to get caught in a cougar trap, caught in a bomb shelter, caught in a liquor store and actually hand her gun over to a crazy guy and now she's like a unix sysadmin or something. I think it's the bangs. They're magic. They're Magic Bangs of Smarts.

I have an affinity for most of what David Weber has written (I have seen some negative comments recently-I dont recall where) , as well as John Ringo. Some Dean Koontz, as I feel that some of his stuff borders on Sci-Fi.
