Sci-Fi!

[olde_fashioned]

So yours truly is now a bit of a sci-fi convert. Courtesy of my brother, I'm learning that science fiction doesn't have to always be space ships, aliens, and phasers.

My family has been going through a whole slew of things (some of which you might have guessed from my recent poll), including but not limited to:

• the new Battlestar Galactica (OMG so good!!)
• the old Battlestar Galactica (OMG so bad!!!)
• Blade Runner (nice costumes and music)
• Firefly (yuck)
• The Matrix (double yuck)
• Gattaca (interesting concept)
• Jericho (very realistic and actually could probably happen)
• The Road (grim but well done)
• The Book of Eli (REALLY good)
• the Terminator series (Terminator: Salvation is the best)
• Tron and Tron: Legacy (visual appealing much?)
• recently started Primeval (loads of fun and really growing on me)

Generally whenever I discover something new, I also learn that someone I already know already likes at least a few of those things that are new to me. Does anyone else find themselves enjoying costume dramas and science fiction? ;)

Isn't Primeval so much fun to watch? I grew up with a father who loves Sci-fi and in all honestly Star Trek is my main one since I grew up watching it and it introduced to me it.

I'm really liking it so far!! We just got to Season 3 however and I'm not liking the change (even though I wasn't liking a certain someone towards the end of S2 because of what he was doing), and unfortunately I happened to look at IMDb and saw the number of episodes one of the best characters has left! So now I'm unhappily awaiting their demise/departure... :( (What do you think of the characters? Cutter reminds me of you for obvious reasons!)

Actually I did as well--I grew up on Star Trek and Star Wars, which is probably part of my problem with them now, haha.
