Hello - another introduction due

[kirakr]

Hi,

This is a long overdue introduction - stumbled across the site (and forums) quite some time ago but never quite knew where to jump in - including heading to events and such .. was afraid that I wouldn't be able to fit in

Well, as in intro (with only relevant details) .. let's just say that I'm a sci-fi fan but mostly only of TV shows and movies -

I'm a major fan of Stargate SG-1, although lately my interest has been fading with the later seasons. Most of my family know how much I love this show .. when they hear the theme song, they'll start teasing me about it .. so now, I have to watch it when I'm alone .. heh

Battlestar Galactica - really enough said, best sci-fi series in a long while.

Farscape - a little late getting into this but caught up with the whole series on DVD and now it's an ultimate favorite as well

Star Trek - watched everything except TNG, TOS. TNG is up next in queue - btw Voyager is still my favorite although DS9 was pretty amazing as well.

Also planning on catching all of Babylon 5 (movies + Crusade even), but that's going to be a huge task so it's definitely after TNG.

I also read some sci-fi, although that's a new thing and I'm not sure if they're pure sci-fi or not. I haven't given any books for the series above a try though - are they any good?

In the past year have also gotten into graphic novels but I've only been hooked on two series - Y: The Last Man and Fables. Currently trying out Runaways (from Brian K. Vaughan of Y: The Last Man) and it's good so far. Not so sci-fi, yes?

Well .. that's enough of an intro i think.

Hello Lena,

Thanks for sharing a bit about your Sci-Fi and Fantasy interests to the MySciFiFan community. If you check the MySciFiFan Outpost activities thread, there are some screenings of your favourite Sci-Fi movies which you can drop by at the Outpost and catch the screening.

Enjoy your stay and see you around.

Plo Strax-Avix: I do like Star Wars, but maybe it is not my niche as I am not as hardcore as others - like most on this site. Or even my brother, who can tell when the scenes are different vs. the original when we were watching and knows the back story and such.

Thank you, The SITH OverLORD - I will do that.

Hey Lena,

You're welcome, why don't you get your brother who is a hardcore Star Wars fan to sign up at MySciFiFan forums also? There are a quite a number of forum members who are die-hard STAR WARS fans who share similar interests like him, including yours truly here who has watched the Original Trilogy over a hundred times or more..

Hola Lena,Selamat datang ke MySciFiFan. No worries, many of our newbies felt the same but they fit in perfectly when they meet the rest of the gang because all of us share the same passion.

To tell you the truth, who would think that one day I'll be in costume of my favorite movie/tv series character? It was only a dream when i was a small kid but somehow, joining MSSF gave me knowledge & confidence to go crazy & tried out almost everything.

I'd notice something in your list, I got the chance to read small amount of 'Y: The Last Man' & it's a unique story. Not sure if many could accept the concept becoz of it's complex storyline.

If I had to list any comics that made me want to read more of them, I'd put all the comics you had in your post there:

Y The Last Man - too bad it's ending soon.

Fables - really complex and fantastic take on fairy tales

Runaways - Sad BKV is leaving, but Joss Whedon is taking over from him I think.

Hi Lena,

welcome to the forum.

I too have found the forum some time back but only managed to join in later. It took some courage.

Its difficult to talk to people who don't share the interest in sci fi or even watch the TV with family member who don't appreciate it. You made the right move in joining myscifi, because you could talk to like minded people who share the same interest or passion in science fiction instead being alone.

Don't worry, you'll be fine.
