Hey all, first post.
Im personally a fan of "giant monster movies" like Gamera, Godzilla and King Kong. (mostly the old japanese versions).
Also does anybody like the anime series Robotech or any "transforming robot" like shows?
I've only seen clips from transformers - the movie, seemed cool, but I have not made the trouble to see it.
Godzilla was generally cool, but it had a couple of irritating moments.
The others I do not really know.
I think the guys (here) are maybe more into sci-fi than fantasy stuff, like king kong, etc.
Come to think of it, terminator 1 was always regarded as phenomenal, has anyone mentioned it, can't remember.
Does anyone remember Ulysses31? it was a french animation series which the BBC showed.
really cool!
The TV series "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea" had promise but it rapidly degraded into monster of the week. If you like monster you may want to check it out.

Ahh yes, that was good sunday afternoon viewing in the late 80's!"Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea"
At one point I was quite enthralled with "The Man From Atlantis" sadly that also degenerated into monster of the week.
While not SciFi there are some spy shows from the 60's that I would like to watch but do not seem to be on directTV.
The Man From UNCLE
I SPY
Mission Impossible
could be more but that is what I can think of just now.
Get Smart was fun but not in the same league.

'The man from uncle' series does come under the heading of Sci-Fi some of those plots and the gadgets were ahead of time perhaps...though my fountain pen cannot make long distance phone calls just yet.
Never seen 'I SPY' so cannot comment on that as for mission imposibble .. high tech in places yes, futuristic alas sadly no.
Yeah I liked the Man from Uncle. One of the main actors played the part in my avatar on the Outer Limits. The blond haired guy.Originally Posted by The Mad Professor
Anybody like any Sci-fi books? or is that against the rules?

GRUDD! where to start.....Anybody like any Sci-fi books? or is that against the rules?
Chris Claremont - First Flight
F.P.Wilson - The Healer
Harry Harrison - The Stainless Steel Rat , Deathworld
Timothay Zahn - C.O.B.R.A. , The Blackcollar
Terry Pratchett - Strata
E.T. The book of the green planet [wish somebody at Pixar would read it]
Tuff Voyaging, The Deep range, Dune...
Of course if you like your books in the graphic variety..
back issues of the cult comic 2000AD have a couple of the Stainless Steel Rat novels
or for the more serious graphic addict 'Watchmen' and 'Give me liberty' are fine examples of the genre.
Another vote for Watchmen!
More SF books I've really liked:
Sewer, Gas, and Electic: The Public Works Trilogy - Matt Ruff
Anything by Robert J. Sawyer--I've loved everything of his that I've read, and I think I've read most of it.
I have also really enjoyed what I've read from Fred Hoyle, but at the moment the only titles I can remember are Element 79 and The Black Cloud.
I tend toward harder SF but I also really enjoyed Dan Simmons' Hyperion Cantos.
I am ashamed as an SF fan to say that I still haven't read the Dune books.

Liked it and is going to keep you reading. Hopefully you haven't seen the movie it will definitely spoil it.

Dune,
I saw the movie - or was it a series, was not to sure about the ending though. Otherwise enjoyed it.
I also played the game, both original and 2000. Very enjoyable, still rates Dune2000 as one of the best strategy games.
Could not get on top of emporer, wich is based on Dune.
Seems the Dune name have been around the block some.

Welcome aboard Johnny! Isaac Asimov used to write sci-fi. I read allot of him both fiction and non-fiction.
