It figures, and I can hear the sci-fi inspiration in some of his music. But which shows do you like? For me it's Doctor Who. I love it - both the original series and the new one (though I believe the next series will be even better! ) Never been a fan of Star Trek - for some reason none of the various shows ever appealed to me. Which is strange considering I like many aspects of science fiction and fantasy. Anyway... Diddledumdiddleydumdiddledumdiddleydum...

DarkFeline Group: Members Posts: 144 Joined: Oct. 2005 Posted: Nov. 15 2005, 05:31 If given a choice between Star Trek and Star Wars, I'd choose Star Trek even without blinking an eye. However if compared again to the others, some of the best sci-fi series would have to be X-Files, Farscape and Firefly (in no order). Anybody heard the latter two shows before? -------------- Who's your mummy, where she go? Back to top

hiawatha Group: Members Posts: 2391 Joined: Mar. 2004 Posted: Nov. 15 2005, 08:26 I liked X Files, but raraly watched it. I tried Farscape and Firefly, but did not enjoy them. -------------- "In the land of the Dacotahs, Where the Falls of Minnehaha Flash and gleam among the oak-trees, Laugh and leap into the valley." - Song of Hiawatha Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Nov. 15 2005, 08:35 I used to be a Trekkie but I was so disappointed by all the episodes which came after The Next Generation (Picard, Data & co.) that I don't 'trek' any longer. However, I have many video versions (original VHS tapes, remastered tapes, remastered DVDs) of all the 6 episodes in the Star Wars saga, so I think I can say I'm a fan of the George Lucas epic. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

Bill Bobaggins Group: Members Posts: 477 Joined: June 2005 Posted: Nov. 15 2005, 08:48 I have always been a huge Star Trek fan, especially with The Next Generation.  I actually cried when that series ended.  However, I had to vote for Star Wars, only because of the recent culmination of the films.  Episode III is one of the best, if not the best, movie I have ever seen.  Typical tacky dialog, but the powerful emotions and the ultimate story about the fight between good and evil.  Very sad.  It had a great impact upon me, much more than any Star Trek episode or movie. -------------- Speak friend and enter.

MusicallyInspired Group: Musicians Posts: 1445 Joined: June 2001 Posted: Nov. 15 2005, 08:57 You forgot Stargate! I don't know what my favourite is but Stargate is up there with Star Trek (especially TNG), Star Wars, X-Files, and The Dead Zone (the tv show), if it counts. -------------- BrandonBlume.com "The beauty in life is in the embracing of the variety of things.

Its always been the eccentricity of the doctors i liked.   -------------- Far away across the field The tolling of the iron bell Calls the faithful to their knees To hear the softly spoken magic spells Back to top

Moz Group: Musicians Posts: 600 Joined: July 2005 Posted: Nov. 15 2005, 12:35 I voted for Dr Who, because the latest series was really good.  Second choice would be the X Files, but I have watched every episode (many of them several times over) and I'm just a bit sick of it! -------------- Twitter: @benbarden Back to top

Rogers of the 25th Century, a delightful interpretation by Daffy Duck?. And Marvin the Martian deserves a vote all his own. Wonder if he is related to Marvin the depressed Robot from Hitckhikers Guide to the Galaxy, another fine contender. When I was at school I use to ask kids their name, and if it was Sharon Smith, I would say, any relation to Sharon Brown? The confused looks on their faces were priceless. But I have to agree wholeheartedly with Billbo, Star Wars is the ONLY Science Fiction I have ever really gotten into. If you don't count SpaceBalls! -------------- I hate getting up early.

tubular_trekkie Group: Members Posts: 366 Joined: Sep. 2005 Posted: Nov. 16 2005, 03:46 Trek hands down. Although I also love the new Russell T. Davies Who (could you tell?    ). Used to quite like The X Files back in its heyday as well. But Star Wars doesn't really do much for me to be honest - I think its very much a case of style over substance; nice eye candy though. -------------- "The concept of progress acts as a protective mechanism to shield us from the terrors of the future." - from 'Collected Sayings of Muad'Dib' by the Princess Irulan Back to top

MikeAholic Group: Members Posts: 205 Joined: Sep. 2005 Posted: Nov. 17 2005, 15:06 How can we choose for Dr. Who ? I don't know if the show is running outside the UK, but at least in Belgium, it's not on Belgian television. The only Dr.Who I remember is way back in the 70's. I remember something with red telephone boxes, but apart from that, nothing comes to mind. -------------- I sure hope that Mike realises what joy he brings to us ! Back to top
