I loved Enterprise!!!

I also loved Stargate, the movie, but also the series. Anyone watch that? Or even remember it? :lol:
Me too! haha. It took two people to get me to watch it (I didn't watch scifi outside of star trek tng back then) and I didn't give SG-1 a fair chance until it was off air and on netflix. I've plowed right through it and now I'm checking out the offshoots. Would it be fair to say it's my favorite scifi series? Indeed! ;D
Yeah I didn't watch the Stargate series' until they were all finished. It was nice for me cause I just binge watched it and didn't have to wait for the next one :)

I have to agree with others about The Matrix.
I also have to throw out Jurassic Park, the movies, but also the two books.

I actually don't read sci-fi series. All my series tend toward fantasy.
Maybe I just prefer stand-alone sci-fi. :eusa-think:

Stargate is what made me fall in love with a certain accent. I can't hear it without melting...just a little bit. :shhh: :shifty: :oops:

You all will keep my secret. Right? :lol:

Wow, too many to chose from! Zombie Fallout series would rank really high though.

Yup, Harry Potter is my favourite. I once tried reading the LOTR series and had to give up midway of the first book. Yeah I know, I must habe a weird brain phew!
But maybe it was the wrong time or maybe I wasnt in the mood, so I would like to try once more. But till then HP all the wayy!!

Greg Rucka's Lazarus series. They're graphic novels. I just love them! Forever is one if my favorite characters ever, which is saying something, and I can't get enough of them.

I really loved the The Dark Tower Series by Stephen King and The Lord of the Rings. I don't really have a favorite. Some books stand out more than others. Right now, I'm reading the last book of The Golden Compass Trilogy, The Amber Spyglass. I'm enjoying this one very much.

I've read some of the Harry potter serie which I loved a lot .. But I think game of thrones will be better ..
Problem is I already watched it online so I guess it's spoiled for me ??

Cinderella is a great story .. the original one not the movies version

When it comes to books, the Harry Potter series and Narnia are my most favorite. As for TV series, Fringe is my #1, followed by Dark Matter and 12 Monkeys. When it comes to movies, the first in The Hunger Games comes pretty close to what I'd consider (today) my favorite. Not sure about tomorrow though.
