I think it's safe to say you are sci fi chick and fantasy girl!!<BR/><BR/>Michelle:well, it's never too late to become a sci fi girl!! :-) X-files *high five* because I lived for Fri nights when it was on! Cath's been telling about the new Merlin show in Britain, it hasn't come to Canada yet. <BR/><BR/>Mariel: you like Firefly. another one of us! (Becky from Musings from the sofa is another). *sigh* Nathan Filion is Canadian so I get first dibs!! lol<BR/>how do you like the new Battlestar Galactica? I actually get butterflies in my stomach before it comes on, it's so good and so surprising. I try to watch supernatural, but get bored because they often don't go for the jugular, though when they do, whew! those are scary.<BR/><BR/>Deslily: this season of lost is really good, even though the timeline is now hopelessly confused for me as they go backwards in time. i'm enjoying the acting and the fact we don't have the horrible Ben on the screen all the time, I hated him!<BR/><BR/>I tried reading a few Trek books too, but it wasn't the same, and I just can't get into fan literature, although it is big business. Gee, some of us liked Earth 2! Just not the ones Nielsen had ratings in, I guess. I really enjoyed that show. I think you qualify as both, welcome!!! lol<BR/><BR/>Cath: you're another Spock fan! he was my favourite too. I know I'm like McCoy in nature, but I loved Spock and kept trying to emulate him, to no success since I still cry far too easily. He's still my hero. <BR/><BR/>Isn't Torchwood good, especially with both Owen and Taniko dying like that? Wow. I just watched the season ender again, it was so good. Then the Dr Who cross-0ver (we got it delayed); it was hilarious, my daughter at age 6 is suddenly becoming a Jack fan!!! lol she kept squealing whenever he came on!<BR/><BR/>thanks, I enjoyed writing the post too. I'm having fun seeing how many of us do like sci fi and fantasy!<BR/><BR/>nymeth: hello, fantasy girl!! lol I'm so glad you enjoy X-files and Bablyon 5, in fact I am surprised by how many of us there are who liked Babylon 5. The creatures, Morden, Sinclair vs Sheridan vs who was the better captain.....how about you be mostly fantasy girl with a little sci fi stun gun on the side? lol<BR/><BR/>and Hitchhiker's is classic, I own the books and the dvds, and I have to admit to laughing far too much at Marvin, because I know I can sound just like him if I let myself get really negative!!!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095246748581382752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6145452263098688113.post-76664828442975335632009-01-31T13:42:00.000-05:002009-01-31T13:42:00.000-05:00As a fan of Babylon 5, x-Files, Hitchhiker's and p...As a fan of Babylon 5, x-Files, Hitchhiker's and plus Stargate, I think I qualify :D I'm definitely more of a fantasy girl, but I do have a sci-fi side to me too.<BR/><BR/>Also: GEEK PRIDE!Ana S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16092495983972185943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6145452263098688113.post-40476749489732532262009-01-30T09:18:00.000-05:002009-01-30T09:18:00.000-05:00I can that there are several of us here who would ...I can that there are several of us here who would have to call ourselves sci fi and fantasy chicks. Heheh. I love that description. I'm pleased that so much of what you like comes from the BBC. A lot of what I liked and still like comes from the USA - right from the word go when it was American TV westerns in the early 60s, then The Man From Uncle, The Monkees, followed by Star Trek of course. I'd discovered sci fi just before Star Trek so when it appeared in the UK in 1969 I knew it was going to be a Big Thing with me. And it was. I fell heavily for Spock. Of course there were BBC shows too, Dr. Who and Blake's 7 to name but two. I think I've just always been a TV fan. These days I'm very much into Merlin, Dr. Who, Torchwood and am now rewatching the entire seven seasons of Buffy (I've only ever seen about half). Truthfully, I'd hate to be without my TV shows, and, like you said, my reading has mirrored this lifelong passion.

But I did watch other treks right up to and including enterprise. Liked Babylon5 and just so Shelley doesn't think she's alone I loved Earth 2! Loved the first two seasons of Lost.. now Lost is getting me lost! sheesh.<BR/>I never got into reading sci fi though.. way back when I read a few of the first Trek books by Carmen Carter and A C Crispin but as good as they were they didnt hook me into reading more.<BR/>I watch most every sci fi/ fantasy movie that comes out...(just saw Inkheart) love my old Trek movies and star wars of course, and love movies like Princess Bride and Kull, can't forget Dragonheart and of course the HP movies.. they are all the best!! When younger I was always at the "summer movies".. they were the ones that had the trek and star wars, the indiana jones and superman movies !<BR/><BR/>I read a lot of fantasy and YA books. Tolkien, Eddings, Weis and Hickman and Anne McCaffrey are some of my favorite authors.DesLilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02582481597658080464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6145452263098688113.post-47217340151175530302009-01-29T05:05:00.000-05:002009-01-29T05:05:00.000-05:00Well I for one am a fellow fantasy/scifi geek (tho...Well I for one am a fellow fantasy/scifi geek (though I don't enjoy reading sci-fi...curious!)!
