templejanitor Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 There's nothing like a good Star Trek episode or movie. But I've gone beyond sci-fi to where sci-fi meets reality. dark matter dark energy string theory and m-theory the concept of space-time the LHC AMS-02 how we are affected by what lurks in other dimensions geocaching watching the ISS fly over watching any satellite fly over watching the NASA channels and the astronauts work on the ISS It's amazing where the mind goes when you're listening to RUSH music.

garbo Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 (edited) I love Star Wars, the new BSG, Aliens, and H.G. Wells, but I think that's the extent of my Sci-Fi (unless you count literary Sci-Fi, which is Wells and Fahrenheit 451, etc.). I'm more philosophically minded than sci-fi (considering I received one of my B.A.s in Philosophy), but I don't like Ayn Rand; if we're talking post-Fascist Feminist thought, I prefer Hannah Arendt, but if we're talking broad spectrum post-Fascist thought, I'm Derridean and Neil is most certainly not Derridean. But bring on Star Wars! And Spaceballs! Edited May 26, 2011 by garbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilby Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Like most sci-fi and fantasy stuff, most of the stuff mentioned previosly and we are eagerly waiting for caprica to be a DVD released. The pilot was very promising. Unfortunately I don't read as much as I used to when I was younger, but then I probably read more horror/fantasy than sci-fi, moorcock, piers anthony and loved the necoscope series by Brian lumbly (?). However, I'm a big fan of Terry Pratchetts discworld novels which are hugely entertaining, very witty. The first few are a bit odd but there are some real gems in the collection.
