There are tons on here. some of my favorites are voyager, aliens, predator and a short lived show - space above and beyond, that seems like no one has heard of. It was on about 20 years ago for a season or two

 

[NWAleDad]

you are in good company here

I span the spectrum of Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Graphic Novels

Movies: Star Wars (Episodes 4,5,6) Start Trek (including the new J.J. Abraham's reboot) Total Recall (new old), Watchmen, Christopher Nolan Batman (and the Tim Burton ones)

TV/Shows: Games of Thrones, Walking Dead (since the first season), Fringe (even when it got really bad), Battle Star (New), Dr. Who.


i could continue for hours

DUDE!! Never knew I was a nerd until recently.

District 9? BAD ASS

the new BSG? MORE BAD ASS. Paid $5 to watch "Blood and Chrome" and I could probably be conned into watching "Blood and Stool" Adama's bathroom saga if it came out.

ALIENS is the most bad ass movie ever.

What's more? my new gf said that I am "Nerdy Hot" FU*K YEAH.

 

[ChshreCat]

How about books?

Favorite authors: Heinlein, Varley, Bear, Asimov, Clarke...

DUDE!! Never knew I was a nerd until recently.

I think the Ren and Stimpy horse should have been the first clue.

 

[Goofynewfie]

Books, how could I forget?
Madaddam trilogy by margaret atwood ( if you havent, trust me, its a masterpiece)
Battlfild earth - l. ron hubbard
Artemis fowl series - Eoin colfer

 

[Homercidal]

All of that stuff plus LEXX! ( I have a thing for Zev, but I'd settle for Xev, her reincarnation!)

 

[NWAleDad]

I just realized I have the new total recall movie at home, bought a few weeks ago, and I still haven't watched it.

I streamed it and thought it was a good show. Wanted more. Defying gravity is a show I was pissed they dropped also.

Where did you pay $5 to see Blood and Chrome? It's on Youtube for free (legally).

New Total recall???

I have about as much faith in the new EVIL DEAD.....(which I am being dragged to Saturday)

B & C was on amazon (maybe $2.99) for me it was worth it, on my tv, movie quality picture and sound.

 

[wailingguitar]

All of the Star Treks, Firefly, Red Dwarf, Dr Who, Torchwood, Battlestar Galacttica (both), Hyperdrive... etc

 

[Yaksha808]

There is no way space above and beyond was 20 years ago!! If thats the case... holy **** im getting old... grey hairs and everything.... fml

Just looked it up... it came out in 1995... still got a few more years till im officially old I guess

I loved that show! That and Starship Troopers (book) are two of the things that made me join the Marines when I decided to serve. Crap that really was almost twenty years ago wasn't it? I'm getting old.

Its a good movie, I like the original better but its still good. This year looks good for new sci-fi. Its making a comeback...!!! I want more sci-fi TV shows. Defiance is good. We need a new star trek and Battlestar!!!! So say we all......

Hyperdrive? Ill have to check it out. Watchseries.it, tv-links.eu are great streaming sites for movies/tv shows. Also project tv or something like that. I'm currently watch Earth Final Conflict using playstation to stream so I can watch on big screen. Takes a lot longer to load but worth it instead of watching on on my Macbook

 

[RM-MN]

Larry Niven
David Brin
Greg Bear
Jerry Pournelle
Steven Baxter
Robert L. Forward
Michael Crichton
Frederick Pohl
Patrick Rothfuss

 

[BrutalBrew]

Waiting for Falling Skies to return....! forgot

 

[gpack]

RM-MN Just inhaled Rothfuss.

Kvothe= very cool character.

Itching for the next.

Hyperdrive is a BBC SciFi Sitcom Sort of Star Trek meets The Office. Not on the same level humor-wise as Red Dwarf, but quite funny and a pretty cool SciFi setting too. I know it is streaming on Netflix, not familiar with those other services

Just looked it up... it came out in 1995... still got a few more years till im officially old I guess

I felt the same way. It didnt seem it until I realized I was in high school when I watched it.

 

[Goofynewfie]

The first book in the madaddam trilogy

[ChshreCat]

Amazing book. The movie was great taken on it's own but doesn't do much to reflect the book.

 

[ChshreCat]

I just realized I have the new total recall movie at home, bought a few weeks ago, and I still haven't watched it.

That's probably the best plan for that one...

 

[RM-MN]

it's time we get a couple lady sci-fi authors too.
Madeline L' Engle
C.J. Cherryh

 

[ShootsNRoots]

District 9 was incredible.... whens the sequel!?

 

[ChshreCat]

I started watching District 9 but the... ummm... copy I had didn't have any subtitles. Kind of made it hard to follow.

So, I picked up the DVD to try again.
