You can buy tickets to outer space nowadays (if you're filthy rich).

Of all the things to pick, I think I would have chosen a warp core... or perhaps a replicator... and do you even need a Holodeck? With my vivid imagination I don't think I actually need a Holodeck... hehe

ooooh, now there's another contraption i had never thought about...hm...a replicator, or a holodeck????? it's a toss up....
with both, just imagine the possibilities!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i dunno, though, i might get addicted to a holodeck like Leutenant (sp?) Barckley...
Is it just me? or did he seem to act like he was a real ad/hder, i mean in his character? what with that weardness and the addictive personality and all.....he was kinda spacey, too, and he got on geordi laforge's nerve, because he was always on cloud nine...
i could definitely relate, i always sympothized with him...

It is Lieutenant Reginald Barclay you are referring to. You are not alone, I think he is the Predominantly Inattentive type. I am allot like him... although I have learned to control my social fobia.
I'm definitely voting replicator. That way I could just order up a new one of whatever I had just broken! God knows I'd keep that replicator busy the way I break things, too. My luck it would probably wear out from overuse. Wonder if you can replicate a new replicator with your replicator? Hmmmm... points to ponder[QUOTE=beatific]sci-fi - doctor who

Have you read "Good Omens" by Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett? I found that quite entertaining and I usually don't read the "light" sci fi.
Jennifer Government and Sewer, Gas, & Electric are the best two sci-fi novels I've read recently. I also loved the comic series Transmetropolitan.
[QUOTE=boggled]...I am trying to create a hardcover collection of Heinlein. ....[/QUOTE]
How many volumes? 
I would also take the replicator!
I really liked Firefly, I was disappointed when it was cancelled. I am trying to create a hardcover collection of Heinlein. Other favorite books are "The Mote in God's Eye" trilogy. New sci-fi movies and shows are great, but I also love the really old sci-fi, like stuff from the early 1900's.

I hear you... the cowboy/sci-fi genre was really.... different, and interesting!
Taag, I am not sure if you get all the US movie news or not but a Firefly movie has been shot and is in "post-production". The trailer is supposed to premiere on Apple.com today but I have yet to check it out. Looks like it will be released in the US about 5 months. Hopefully Denmark will get it then or soon after.

Yes, I noticed that on one of the fansites. I will get the movie as soon as someone gets their hands on some kind of DVD with the movie on hehe...
Sci-Fi stuff like Firefly and Battlestar Galactica is unheard of in Denmark... so I get it from the internet...
I have heard good things about Gov't & Sewer, Gas & Electric. Sigh, another series to put on the list.
I love sci fi too. I can remeber when I was a little girl and my dad taking me to see Star Wars. I think I too have watched every ST NG episode, so much that my husband is afraid of watching it. He thinks that the show used to give subliminal messages, because the entire family would be watching it, BIL and 2 Sil's. Do you remeber the episode when there was an alien that came in the form of a game and everyone was stuck using the game except DATA, Oh, i love that show. I also watched Deep Space Nine, but I couldnt handle the others. I used to watch the X Files too, but they became too scary. I cant wait until May 19th.It was a sad day for me when Robert Heinlein passed away. I always loved his books, especially Stranger in a Strange Land. He may not be writing any more, but at least I re-read and re-read his books! He had a perspective I could definitely relate to.i was a major scifi fan growing up, love star trek (original t.v. series) star
wars, lord of the rings etc....if you want to look at it from the adhd
perspective then you can say that it's a high stim genre, whether it's
action or intellectual stim you seek....also i know i felt out of step with the
other kids when i was growing up, so maybe sci fi was just a good
escape. but i also agree that more people into that type of stuff are more
likely to be on the internet in general.
I'm a major sci fi fan. And Galaxy Quest was hoot but not really sci fi genre. Still, the all time funniest movie moment was the fella in Galaxy Quest moving out of space dock and scratching the side of the ship. Ok, you can't appreciate it unless you see the movie. But it was really funny. Now, I dont' have a clue waht any of this that I have typed has to do with the thread. But its early.
Live long and prosper.

I loved that movie! My favorite part was when the actors saw the real aliens for the first time. They looked like they were going to cry. lol.
I do enjoy sci-fi. My all time favorite is 'Blade Runner' (available on DVD) I'm not sure why, but I have the easiest time suspending my disbelief with that one. It's cool how they make you identify with the villians. Everyone motives are understandable.
LotR was pretty amazing too.
MAYBE THERE ARE MORE SCI FI FANS AMONG REGULAR WEB POSTERS THAN THERE ARE IN THE GENERAL PUBLIC...
JUST A THOUGHT
yeah...I think somewhere along with GarbagePailKid....not sure exactly what I think, but I don't think it's linked w/ AD/HD. I personally dislike star wars and star trek and all that...sci fi is one of the "topics" that never interested me...unless you count harry potter movies--and the only reason I even attempted to watch them was b/c I was "forced"...other than the length, they're pretty good.
I have watched all Star Trek Movies and Episodes... all 10 movies, and i think 695 episodes several times. I'm an addict of the Star Trek universe. I play all the games they have made... especially Bridge Commander hehe.
The I have seen Firefly, Battlestar Galactica and Futurama.
When it comes to movies, I have of course seen all the star wars movies... allthought they are of a lower intellectual value than Star Trek.. i think... it is more an adventure... were Genes vision of the Star Trek universe are more "plausible"... many of the theories regarding warp travel, deflectors, shields and transporters are written down by scientists...
Sci-Fi gives us something to think about... and that is the main reason I love Sci-Fi
You know, it seems like a LOT of us on this board are science fiction fans - a much larger percentage than you would see in the general public.Wonder what it is about adhd that makes us so interested in the genre?
I love how the stories and shows allow your mind to run wild with at some of the amazing possibilities they present- new worlds, new technologies, species etc.
Other thoughts, anyone?
I don't know but one of my first childhood crushes was for Spock.
Data is fine, too.
I will now download more Firefly.
I never got into Sci-Fi, however, I did like the movie GALAXY QUEST, if that counts.
Spock
Dunno, but I have enjoyed sci-fi since early childhood. I watched re-runs of Star Trek in the 70's. My favorite Star Trek series was Star Trek Next Generation. Love the sci-fi channel and all sorts of other stuff
I love roleplay fantasy genre games too..
Let's see. Ferverent fan of...Lord of the Rings (books and movies) Star Trek (except Voyager and Enterprise), Stargate SG1, the original Star Wars, every major hard science fiction book published in the last 30 years (and some of the better fantasy)...yeah, I'm a geek.
