Just great Sci-Fi...

Over the past week, I’ve enjoyed watching episodes of Battlestar Galactica on Hulu. For a while the episodes were only available on Hulu by buying their Hulu Plus network. There is no way I would do that, pay for more commercials???? Anyway that’s not the point. Some of the Galactica episodes I haven’t seen since they originally aired. And it was Fraking great! It’s been long enough that I don’t remember what was going to happen, so it was all new again!!! This led me to think of just how lucky I have been to witness/enjoy some major CLASSIC TV sci-fi shows and movies over the past three decades. These shows and movies as far as I’m concerned were milestones/breakthrough/ benchmark in the Sci-Fi world. These movies/shows have influenced so many things afterwards and continue to do so. To be clear these are my lists and you don’t have to agree with them, matters of fact make your own. TV Icon Sci-Fi programs (in no particular order) 1) Farscape 2) Star Trek (original) 3) Battlestar Galactica (2003) 4) Firefly 5) Space Above and Beyond 6) Twilight Zone Icon Sci-Fi Movies 1) Star Wars 2) Matrix 3) Predator 4) Alien 5) Aliens 6) Blade Runner 7) 2001 Space Odyssey 8) Road Warrior 9) The Thing (John Carpenters)- I wasn’t born for the first one 10) Avatar
