So I heard NT's dig sci-fi
I'm a big fan myself

Which one do you prefer and why?

Personally I prefer Stargate. Dunno why, it's just the coolest Sci Fi ever. Maybe it's the mix of sci fi with spiritual things (like the stories of how the Ancients succeded to ascend) and stuff like that. It goes good with my INXP. Also I think it has a solid plot that doesn't get boring...at least i didn't get bored.
9 seasons of SG-1
5(i think) seasons of Atlantis
and now the first 10 episodes of SGU are out

Choose and talk of your favourite character too if you want




Also I like Samantha Carter...Yes yes I know...who doesn't.

If I had to pick between Stargate and the X-files I'd go with Stargate. But that's only because I haven't seen much of the X-files.

Star Wars remains my favorite sci-fi, followed closely by Star Trek.

Star Wars is just too cool. My kids are totally into it and have all the toys. I play with the Millenium Falcoln and I am a grown woman. I loved Star Wars a lot more after I saw all 3 prequels. It has a good fantasy element to it as well.

X files was cool while it lasted. Never did like the movie.

I like Battlestar Galactica a lot right now. I am renting them on the Netflix because I got rid of cable 3 years ago. I am interested in the spirituality/science/technology nexus. I'm in Season 2.

Also, for SciFi comedy, I love The Venture Bros. I have all 4 (3.5) seasons. Hubby and I identify mainly with The Monarch & Dr. Girlfriend (now Dr. Mrs. The Monarch). He is SO the Monarch, without the huge trust fund or costume.

I used to like Star Trek as a child, but never could get into it as an adult. I never could get over Star Trek without Captain Kirk...(oh, now I have to go update my fictional character crush list).

I have to look into StarGate. I liked the movie, never did watch the shows.

Stargate; it's the only TV- program i can watch without getting frustrated
( my English is shitty, forgive me )

The X Files has to be one of my favourites. It's weird to think that the first time I saw it, when I was 12, the programme scared me shitless (and it was Soft Light, which isn't even that scary), but after that, it didn't seem scary at all.

One of the reasons I like the XF is because it sort of merges reality with fantasy, and you can see a lot of the things actually happening in real life. I don't think I could pick a favourite character though.

For me the original Star Trek comes first. I love Cpt. Kirk. He's so cool.

I love the original Time Machine movie. Love love love it.

Young Frankenstein. The Mr. and I can quote the whole movie by heart. 2 of my dogs are named Igor and Froaderick for two of the characters in the film.

Starman. That's all I can think of now but I'm sure I'm missing some.

[Lucem]

Don't like Stargate or X-Files.

Fav Sci-Fi
Doctor Who (new version)
Sliders (only 1st season)
Battlestar Galactica (new version)
Dollhouse (sometimes)

Some other sci-fis I like:

The Alien Quadrilogy (How could I forget these?)
The Matrix Trilogy
The Cube Trilogy

And I must say, I'd love it if they made a Half-Life movie. Who's with me?

I know what you mean, you like fantastic things in ordinary surroundings. Stargate is fantastic things in fantastic surroundigs. Hence you like being closer to reality.

Why do you like Alien? I mean it's nice but didn't find it "special"
Matrix...the first movie rocks...the other two is what we call here "labareala"
The Cube...the first idea in the first movie the rest is repeating

I can see a pattern here: How can you like the same idea re-re-repeated in the next movies of the franchise? Even more so when we talk about movies not sitcoms.

I think the best thing about the creature in alien is that it's a completely viable extraterrestrial life form. Not to mention the fact that similar behavior can be found in nature (i.e. parasitic wasps). Another aspect of Alien I enjoyed was the "battle" between the interests of the Weyland-Yutani Corporation and the lives of people, especially Ellen Ripley. There are many other aspects but these are the main ones.

Like with Matrix and Cube, the story from Alien isn't repeated but continued. Hense, they are parts of trilogies. I find that it's completely common for the sequels to be worse than the first movies. It's mainly because of the directors I think. But die-hard fans can overlook this to see their favorites in new light.
