I'm so glad I'm not the only one to love SciFi, I'm going to have to check out some of these shows. Which ones are scary? I'm kind of a chicken :P

Were you watching old Doctor Whos or new ones? Old ones are good, new ones are good, I wish I had a TARDIS.

New ones. I started with the first episodes of Doctor 9. I love him, and can't wait to see the others (waiting for the DVDs to come back to the library so I can watch more!!)

If available, the old ones are good as well. I especially like the e-space set and the key to time set.

Do you mean the books or the abortion that was the show?

Books. They're way better than the show. I have to admit that I watched the show and thought it was passable, and picked up the books, because I just needed some passable fantasy to read while traveling. Right around Book 4, though, Butcher really gets rocking and now I'm sort of obsessed.

It's funny, I actually started with Dead Beat and loved it so much I decided to start from the beginning. I do agree that the first books are a little strained but still quite readable.

Yeah, they're okay. I started reading at the beginning and liked them. Somewhere around "White Knight" or "Proven Guilty," though, I really fell in love with the world. A lot of people complain about how Butcher being sexist, but I don't agree. I think Harry is a bit of a sexist, but Butcher writes some great women characters. Molly, Susan, Charity, Murphy, Luccio, and Laura Raithe are some of my favorite characters in any fantasy setting, ever. I like that Butcher has taken the time to think about how his female characters see each other and has clearly thought out their relationships to each other, in addition to their relationships to Harry. They pass the Bechdel test on a regular basis.

Huge sci-fi fan here. :)

I first got hooked on sci-fi when I was six years old and came across Star Trek: TOS. Star Trek: TNG premiered when I was in middle school. It was all downhill from there. :p

My favorite sci-fi TV series include:
- Star Trek: TOS, TNG, animated, Voyager, and Enterprise (not so much DS9)
- Babylon 5
- Farscape
- Stargate: SG-1 (I also liked Atlantis and SGU, but SG-1 is my favorite)
- Doctor Who (classic and new - although I have a small quibble with the new series - the Doctor is NOT supposed to be hot! :p )
- Firefly
- Warehouse 13
- Sanctuary
- Eureka
- Fringe
- V (both series)
- Battlestar Galactica
- Caprica

I almost forgot... has anyone else seen the BBC show "Being Human"? I love it. :)

I have seen the American version on SyFy. it's not bad. I need to see the beginning to get a understanding of the storyline.

Did anyone notice that author Anne McCaffrey had died last Monday? I always wanted to see her Pern series made into a movie, and now with CGI it's very possible.

I had no idea she'd died. :( I agree with you about turning the Pern series into a movie. I'm surprised it hasn't been done yet, unless she specifically said no.

Agree with this. I was so obsessed with those books in middle school/early high school.

I have heard that there was an attempt to turn the Pern books into a movie or tv show (can't remember which) but that Anne McCaffrey didn't like the sets/script etc and withdrew permission. I would love to see the Pern books made into a movie.
