I like a bit of Science Fiction. I like Star Wars, used to watch Star Trek, I like Halo, and I even like creating my own sci-fi stories. But I'm not extreme. I don't have any sci-fi books or novels. What about you?

I love The X-Files. I love the paranormal... hmm..I'm more picky and choosy with sci-fi. Never really fully absorbed Star Wars or Star Trek. I really liked the movie The Last Starfighter.

I am a Star Trek fan-have never seen any of the Star Wars movies from start to finish-I like a lot of Sci Fi and Dr Who and B movies from the 50's and 60's.

I sometimes can't differentiate between different genres. SF and horror could overlap, couldn't they? I think I'm more towards horror than SF. I pretty much stopped watching movies. Hollywood movies somehow always seem to me to be very similar (sound, music, storyline etc) and I find them very boring because of that. I read SF/horror books.

Dr Who, Ender's Game series, and of course Firefly (my favorite)
Star Wars was ok, but I thought Firefly was better

Huge fan of DS9, Firefly,BSG and Stargate SG1.

I also loved the Ender's Game series, Fred Polh's Gateway series and I like Dune until Paul died...

I'm a huge fan of sci-fi pulp like the Stainless Steel Rat, Edgar Rice Burrows' Mars books, and Armageddon 2419 A.D./Airlords of Han (aka Buck Rogers) and E.E. Doc Smith's Lensmen series.

and lots more...

Harlan Ellison has made a strong argument that the genre should be called "speculative fiction", because the science is sometimes strictly secondary to the tale being told (for instance, Ellison's own classic short story, "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream", in which some of AM's abilities go completely unexplained).

Big fan of the field; I've been reading SF just about since I could read, absorbing Heinlein, Niven, Pournelle, Spider Robinson, and all the rest. I also grew up watching Star Trek, have very nearly memorized the dialog in the Star Wars movies (well, 4-6, anyway, the good ones), and watched the original Battlestar Galactica, flawed and derivative as it was, because it was the only new SF on TV. (I prefer the remake - the original does not stand the test of time...)

I loved Star Wars and I liked quite a lot of space based movies.
I think my favorite was Lexx though.

I love science-fiction! It is the only genre worth reading, imo.

My ABC's were Asimov, Bradbury, and Clarke.

Burroughs and Verne started it all for me; Lucas, Roddenberry, and Spielberg pretty much ended it; and Marc W. Miller provided a framework for me to tie it all together.

I like semi-dystopian science fiction that takes place on Earth in the future but with medieval elements.

I like sci-fi, but only when it's done well (and unfortunately it very rarely is).
