How many Sci Fi geeks are here? And what are your favorite shows?

Ringo84 · Jul 21, 2010

I am! I grew up on Star Trek and absolutely love it, so I'm primarily a Trekkie. I like:
o The Original Series
o The Next Generation
o Deep Space Nine
o Movies I (The Motion Picture) through VI (The Undiscovered Country) and First Contact.

I never liked either Voyager or Enterprise.

I also like Star Wars, but only the Original Trilogy.

Are there any channels in the United States which air reruns of Mutant X?

I don't know if any still do as I'm back in Canada now. But it was when I was living in the US that I started watching it.

Mutant X is a Canadian TV show. I can't believe you did not watch it there.

Hehe, I know, kinda weird how that happened. It was filmed around Toronto, if I remember correctly.
I think maybe it's simply because I was living in the US when it aired. I also read on the Internet back then that it was actually more popular in the US than in Canada. Unlike many of shows produced here by Canadian groups, it actually had the feel of standard American sci-fi. (No Degrassi or Beachcombers feel to it, LOL!). Anyway, I do occasionally catch it in syndication even now on various Canadian stations.

AdamKane · Jul 30, 2010

Which Canadian stations?

desmalia · Jul 30, 2010

Well currently it's on Showcase. I'm pretty sure I've seen it on Space. I can't remember what other channels I've seen it on in the past.

I like many of the older sci fi shows. LOST IN SPACE,STAR TREK ORGINAL,NEXT GENREATION,SG1, TIME TUNNEL AND VALLEY OF THE GIANTS. probaly more than I can rememer,also and old show ROCKYJONES SPACE RANGER. An old 1950s show. All the cast members are dead except for the one who was a child back then. Nice talking to you and have a nice day.

Anybody here who watches V 2009 or The Event? I am looking for other shows which are similar but it must have a real story and not just something different each time.

Definitely an SF geek for sure. Been that way for forever, starting with watching those early 'monster movies' and Chiller Theater as a kid.

then got into:

Star Trek (TOS)
Lost in Space
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea
Land of the Giants
Later versions of Star Trek
Time Tunnel
Outer Limits
Twilight Zone

Then:

Met my (soon to be) husband who is also a SF fan, introduced him to SciFi cons, spent countless hours watching Doctor Who from William Hartnell all the way up to Peter Davison. They were just starting to air Colin Baker's Doctor and so I saw several of those at conventions. (So I can honestly say I've seen every DW up to Sylvester McCoy (saw most of his but not all), and then the 8th Dr. and on to the revitalization of the series.

Add to my list:

Tales of the Gold Monkey (not SciFi but still definitely fantasy)
Yet more Star Trek series including Enterprise which is my favorite (okay, I admit it, love John Billingsley as Phlox).
Babylon 5
Farscape (was okay but not thrilled with it)
Stargate SG-1
Outer Limits (the 90's remake)
Ray Bradbury Theater
Battlestar Galactica (the old version NOT the new one...not into soap operas in space which is probably why I don't care for SGU either.)

my current favorites are:

WAREHOUSE 13 (numero uno in my book)
Eureka
Stargate Atlantis (which I liked better than SG-1)
Tremors - The Series (loved this!)
Fringe

And to address an earlier conversation, I really did like the Series of Flash Gordon from a few years ago. I know you purists didn't like it but I did enjoy it more or less. Didn't care for Dale but I liked most of the other characters. I know I'm weird but I liked how the reimagined Zarkov...I've seen the old serials and Zarkov was too straight-laced and stodgy and one-dimensional as a character. The movie version was just plain weird. I like that they made him more 'real' than the other two versions. So I'd list FG as one of my favorites of this decade and I may be the only one sorry to see it end but there ya have it.

AdamKane · Apr 12, 2011

Gosh, I love the show Being Human.

LadyNRA · Apr 15, 2011

I think I like the British Version better but this one is growing on me. Not my favorite series but I don't mind watching it either.

Ringo84 · Apr 27, 2011

Battlestar Galactica. The new one.

It's not a "soap opera" in space, but a dark sci-fi drama.

My whole household is addicted to Fringe!

jamiejohn · May 22, 2011

The new V, it's awesome, busy watching season 2.
Terminator series season 1 great, season 2 was pretty bad.
Eureka
Krod Mandon and the sword of fire.

Lakikos · May 25, 2011

SG:U was my favorite Sci-fi type show but it got canceled =(

With that gone I don't think I have a favorite one now.. Maybe fringe.

I agree. My whole household is addicted to Fringe also. And Warehouse 13. When both shows come on, my husband and I are joined by our daughters (age 19 and 21). The other show we all watch together is Breaking Bad. I started watching that only because Dean Norris co-starred BUT after a while we couldn't turn away from it.

Xenocide · Jun 24, 2011

This show was so promising, created by Ron Moore who of course masterminded the new BSG. wish it would've been picked up by fox.

YouTube - ‪Virtuality (2009)‬&rlm;

Definitely go torrent the pilot, very much worth the view

LinuxUser · Jun 24, 2011

I love Star Trek and like Dr. Who

Gawron · Jun 29, 2011

It seems Ringo and I have something else in common other than being fans of the Beatles.
