Beam Me Up Scotty..

They say that if you allow someone to teach you something they will fall madly in love with you, or at the very least stalk you…

So if you read on you may learn a thing or two… And I may stalk you.. K?

I am going to share one of my many loves on this 3rd planet from the sun…

I am a Sci-Fi groupie..Yep, its true.. I may not speak Klingon but I can understand Maggog !

There have been soooooooo many fabulous Sci-Fi series in the past that I have enjoyed and often shed many tears when they ended..

So I am going to list a few Classics (old and New) that have moulded me into the geek I am today:-

SERIES

Buck Rogers -“William “Buck” Rogers, a US Air Force pilot who commands Ranger 3. Because of a freak combination of gases, he is frozen in space for 504 years and is revived in the 25th century. There, he learns that the Earth was united following a devastating nuclear war in 1988, and is now under the protection of the Earth Defense Forces, headquartered in New Chicago. The latest threat to Earth comes from the spaceborne armies of the planet Draconia, who are planning an invasion.” – Buck was the coolest ever!!!

V - I remember watching this OVER and OVER again.. It was a miniseries on tv and my dad taped it for us ( we had a VHS dontcha know?) .. They ate rats and there was this baby that was half alien which had a forked tongue!! Can you say Awesome!

Andromeda -Aaaah,, man did I love this show!! “Space is a dangerous place!” Brilliant! The maggog were ugly assed freaky shits though. If you watch it then you will actually watch as the budget improved over the seasons.. A must watch for EVERYONE! (Captain Hunt is also nice eyecandy for the ladies..)

Star Trek – Who does not know this? “I have given it all she’s got , Captain!” Man does this bring back memories! I had always thought though that Star Trek was a show that tried to show us that even though Captain Kirk and his team were from various planets, they embraced the differences and still kicked ass!!

X-Files - My mom loved this show.. she would threaten us with a wooden spoon if we made a noise while she was watching.. not that we did.. cos we were all HOOKED! I used to get irritated though with the jaded Scully..She was a whiny non believer.. but she eventually came to the party I thought towards the end..

Twilight Zone – “You’ve just crossed over into the Twilight Zone.” What an awesome mind bend! Loved it.. I couldnt get enough..

Outer Limits – “There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission.” WOW.. that statement got me everytime and then the house grew rootson the screen.. man was I addicted to this!

Firefly – More otherworldly eyecandy for the ladies (and some dudes).. Cap’n Mal Reynolds made me laugh sometimes in this show with his goofs and nearmisses.. but the story was captivating and loads of suspense and craziness.. I Must Watch FOR ALL!

Eureka – I am a sucker for intelligence.. I get hot reading a manual.. Eureka is a town for Einstein where anything is possible and nothing is impossible.. gets abit tiring when they try to bring emotions in but mostly I enjoy the gadgets..

Roswell – 4 teenagers who are aliens.. they have a mission.. they aren’t entirely sure what it is most of the time.. but when did teenagers ever do what they were told anyway?

JourneyMan - To wake up one day and find that you are jumping back and forth through time with no control of when and where.. and to make things super tough.. you cant go back to your time until you have done whatever the hell it is you are supposed to do.. My kinda kinky

Galactica (old) - I do not know where to begin.. this is one of the most retold story of the fight between the Android Cylons and Humans.. We have the Battlestar.. they dont care.. If you only watch one sci-fi.. let it be this..

Battlestar Galactica (new) - They’re Back! and more pissed off than ever!! Cylon toaster anyone?

Stargate SG1 -*MacGyver (aka Colonel Jack O’Neill) is back and he is sexier than ever jumping through the StarGate to other worlds where he defends the weak and fighting a parasitic race. The storyline is so intense and involved. This is one my alltime favourites..

Stargate Atlantis - A spin off of the SG1 team but this revolves around the dicovery of atlantis and everything that goes with it.. Brilliant.. I am a groupie!

Fringe -It brings the unimaginable into our world.. Imagine being able to record the last thoughts of a dead person as if it was a harddrive? Imagine being able to grow a human in just a few hours? I have just started watching this and I am totally impressed.. cant wait to see where this goes..

4400 – So what if all those people who have mysteriously dissappeared just suddenly get beamed down and say hi? What if they all came back with powers? What if they could give you a power? What if by trying to gain a power there is a 50% chance you may die, would you still want it? I want a power too.. just saying.. will wait till they have tested it more though ..

…OMW!!  I just realised I could go on all day and I haven’t even started on the Movies.. But I need to get back to work so I will have to leave it there for now and continue with this another day..

I will leave you with this one question though..

“Are you a Sci-Fi fan?’“

*he will always be MacGyver to me..
