She Blinded Me With Science (Fiction)

Occasionally, okay probably more often than that, I make outlandish statements such as, "I don't like sci-fi." I will say something so general and broad that it isn't entirely true. Unless I'm talking about eggs. I HATE eggs and that is true and total. I'm not proud of this difficult, childish aspect of my personality, but it does rear its ugly head every now and again.

I was thinking about this because a good friend recently reminded me of my proclamation and then went on to name several science fiction tv shows and movies that I love. Okay, so I'm a bit of a hypocrite and a liar or just a stubborn brat. Honestly, I think it's a little of it all. So, to prove how ridiculous I can be, I thought I'd list some of the sci-fi shows I've enjoyed.

• The Bionic Woman (the original)

• The Six Million Dollar Man

• Mork and Mindy

• The Jetsons

• The Incredible Hulk

• Wonder Woman

• The Twilight Zone

• Sliders

• The X-Files
  

• Futurama

• Alias

• Firefly

• Lost

• Invasion

• Red Dwarf

• My Hero

• Heroes
  

• Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

• Battlestar Galactica (the current one)

So, yes, I'm eating my words without even going into movies in the genre that I like as well. I didn't include it on the list, but I did sometimes watch Star Trek: The Next Generation when it was on. I refuse to watch Dr. Who though. It's not even open for discussion. See? Difficult and childish.
