What do you like?
I'm a big fan of all Star Wars series, and Battletech/Mechwarrior series. -
I only like StarWars movies and games.
I have no idea what Enterprise is.
I dont know what a stargate is.
farscape sounds like a kind of telescope. -
no fan of star trek tho. and never read stargate or watched it either. er... what is farscape? that sounds like a faraway landscape.Originally posted by the.raven:I only like StarWars movies and games.

I like books by Arthur C. Clarke...
He makes science fiction so believeable... -
i'm a sci-fi fan.
i watch all of it. have done for years.
theres a great series, not shown in singapore yet, called battlestar galactica.
its a remake of a series from 1978 [and 1980, but the less said about that one, the better]
its very good - has dark humour, but also dark and thoughful..
[the original played like a soap opera and they ran ou tof money for visual effects so they keep repeating same shots]
enterprise was the latest in the star trek series franchise. its so-so.
supposed to be before captain kirk [original 1960s series] but still looks too advanced..
farscape was a long running tv series. it featured lots of puppet/alien types [it was partially done by the jim henson workshop [the muppets, sesame st, etc]
and was cancelled a couple of years ago. featured alot of cast from australia. they were going to make a movie [after the show was cancelled] but instead its been turned into a tv mini-series. should be out soon.
star wars is ok, but lucas messed it up with episode 1, 2 and probably 3..
and he keeps fiddling with the originals in bad ways..
stargate, the tv series, is better than the film of the same name. same characters, different actors [lead is 80s action-d.i.y.-guy mcgyver]. currently in 8th season.
led to a spin-off series called stargate: atlantis, currently in its 1st season.
i like arthur c clarke too. he lives in sri lanka these days..
2001 and 2010 were great movies..
bladerunner is very good - theyre releasing a special 2 disc dvd edition this year... with lots of new and lost bits to see... -
another still remember "V"?

I'm a Robert A. Heinlein guy.
His writings are very idiosyncratic of the 60s and 70s. Please do not watch Starship Troopers and extend your prejudices to his book.
Time enough for Love still gives me the "feelings" sometime. I do not own a copy but know that I can easily get one from the library if I needed to ease a fix.
Many people may not agree with his ideas now. We have gone to become a lot more moralistic than his liberalist views, and judge him too hastily. There are insufferable parts and great gems still. -
farscape, oh thats the one where the fit actress was featured in FHM?
