    Can't sleep so I'm starting a nonsense thread.... 

    So um... I just recently started watching the 2004 remake series of Battlestar Galactica.  Its awesome.  the 12 colonies are named after the signs. Teehee. Its crazy good. Anybody else a sci-fi addict? I gots the venus/uranus, my heart lives in space.

    I love anything Sci-Fi, I just wish I had the time to watch them more.

    I love sci-fi. I especially enjoy books. I remember how horribly let down I was seeing the movie Dune, in comparison to all the book in the series.

    I enjoyed the Star Trek series.  I always would see the astrological stereotypes in the characters LOL

    I am not sure what my astro signature is that makes me like sci fi so much. Likely the Jup/Uranus conjunction in the 11th.

    Hopefully this isn't too off topic but I recall reading long ago, and I can't recall where.. that the planet closest to the MC, is the last place we shifted to between incarnations, before being born back to Earth. It kind of feels right to me somehow.

    Mars conjunction MC in Gemini.

    Ooh, I'm reading Lois McMaster Bujold's Miles Vorkosigan books. They're fun! Not much science, but they can still be called speculative fiction.

     Dameoness, I don't think I'd like to be stuck on Mars, even between incarnations. (Fellow Mars MC)

    I own the entire new BSG series and I've absolutely loved every bit of it. Personally I've liked how BSG is a sort of "grown up" sci-fi instead of most other sci-fi shows that have been on the last few decades. More about the human element and less about the aliens and technology.

    The composer for the new BSG has also been a huge influence for me in his own way as I listen to the 4 soundtracks to the show pretty regularly. It is excellent music and as the series progresses it gets better and better. 

     

    @Daemoness: For Dune you should try to find the Sci-fi channel miniseries of both Dune and Children of Dune. Both of them hold a lot closer to the books than the 1980s movie did and are both a good watch.

    I'm also a huge Farscape fan, but that's an acquired sci-fi taste I think.

    Deglet, I'm adDICKted to Phillip K. Dick.  Neal Stephenson is pretty cool too.

    i am not a sci fi person but last night was with a group of people, after meditation class and a couple of them were talking about.... having come from different planets. Seriously.... i have a lot of earth in my chart -- it was a stretch for me...

    Yeah, I still remember my first time!  We got Day of the Triffids as a set book at school when I was twelve and that started me.  Read all of John Wyndham and then my Dad (Aquarius) got me into Isaac Asimov and Robert Heinlein.  Then Star Trek, Space 1999, etc, etc. Mercury in Aquarius on the cusp of the 5th.

    Chiana Mielleville- Perdido Street Station (warning, it's a bit long and grim)

    Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell- Susanna Clarke (fantasy rather than sci-fi. It's a long book, but it's fun so it seems much shorter)

    Pretty much anything by Terry Pratchett (Humorous fantasy Sag-types might like because of the philosophy involved)

    Young Miles- Lois McMaster Bujold- (fun/adventure type)

    Snow Crash- Neil Stephenson (cyberpunk)

    Snow Crash was great.  I think the ending was really rushed though , like he got his big idea out and then went "oh crap, I gotta wrap this up."

    Babylon 5.  Doctor Who.  Quantum Leap.  I was absolutely fanatical about all these.  I'm more of a casual Star Trek and Farscape fan, and haven't yet caught up with the new BSG.

    I don't read nearly as much SF as fantasy these days, but I highly recommend anything by David Brin.

    I'm into Star Wars and Star Trek. I watched a few episodes of Battlestar Galactica, and Apollo 13 (though that's Science reality).

    My favorite movies, though, are about time travel rather than space travel. Back to the Future, The Time Traveler, Terminator, and a few others.

    I'm also interested in sentient robot movies, like Short Circuit, A.I, I-robot, D.A.R.Y.L, and 2001: A Space Odyssey (well, I guess that goes in the first category too).

    There's also miscellaneous Sci-Fi stuff, like Wargames, Logan's Run, The Matrix, Honey, I shrunk the kids, etc.

    I could go on and on, but you get the idea.
