Sci-Fi Shenanigans

Preferences in a nutshell

Since the purpose of this blog is to go into detail about random sci-fi topics, I'll keep it simple here. However, I'll provide enough details here to give you an idea of what to expect.

My first science fiction love was Star Trek. I still adore it. I watched it and Star Wars around the same time (about 17 years ago), but Trek just resonated with me more. And for those of you who care, I grew up with TNG

The Next Generation

.

I was actually bored by the first (and I do mean first) Star Wars movie.

I'm not entirely sure how vampires really figure into science fiction, but they seem to be doing that a lot these days.

I like my sci-fi with lots of guys and a dash of politics.

I've stuck with Heroes through thick and thin over the past couple years.

If it's on, I'll watch Doctor Who but only really kept up with the third season of the reboot (for a lack of better word). I think Rose was a good character in the first season of new Who, but I think Martha was better developed as her season went on.

I don't read many science-fiction books. Those I do read only contain sci-fi elements (as opposed to strongly adhering to genre standards).

One of the reasons I like sci-fi is because most of the characters are male (and often messed up in some way).

Some movies in the genre are hit-or-miss. I tried to sit through Blade Runner twice. I just couldn't finish it because it didn't hold my attention.

I will glance at sci-fi wank but generally don't get involved unless I'm really bored AND rankled.


That gives a pretty good idea of what I like/follow in sci-fi and what you can expect to see discussed in this blog. Buckle up!
