Fight or Flight?

Hello all, my name is Andrew Bersson and I am majoring in biology. Once I graduate, I plan on becoming a high school teacher. My passion for all thing relating to science fiction goes all the way back to my childhood. From a young age, i was obsessed with the Sci-Fi television show "The Dead Zone." The idea of gaining supernatural abilities upon waking from a coma seemed infinitely fascinating to me. Sci-Fi also introduced me to supernatural horror films. I quickly fell in love with any and all of Alfred Hitchcock's movies. I even went as far as to conduct a study on reactions to this type of movie that i entitled "Fight of Flight." I was young when i conducted the study so the reactions observed were inherently dramatic; this only further interested me in science fiction. Marvel Comics also always satisfied my hunger for science fiction. Fantastic stories of superheroes that could never exist in our world always drew curiosity from me. Among my favorite superheroes are Captain America, Spider-man and of course Iron Man. Lately, these fictitious characters have been given a lot of media attention. This is exactly what i have been wanting to see! As far as books go, my favorite authors are Stephen King and Michael Crichton. Stephen King's Nightmares and Dreamscapes is filled with many tales of the supernatural. I have read this book countless times, and it only seems to get more interesting every time. I am always open to new science fiction media and i am excited to be introduced to some of it through this class!
