My Experience with SciFi

I have to admit that coming into this class I didn't think I had very much sci-fi experience. After spending some time thinking about it, I realized that a lot of my book preferences and some of my favorite TV shows fall into that category. I LOVED the Ender's Game series. It got me hooked on all of Orson Scott Card. I was really interested in different versions of fairy tales for a while, which might technically count as fantasy. I mentioned in class that Dollhouse is one of my favorite shows, and I watched Lost for a while too. I enjoy books/TV/movies that make you think or wonder a little bit about the real-life possibilities. However I am not, nor have I ever been, a Trekkie. I don't think I've even seen a full episode. Not that I wouldn't give it a shot, but my family was just never much into it. Maybe I'll be a convert!

  1. Fairy tales definitely are a subset of fantasy, and some sf is clearly inspired by fairy tales. Spielberg's A.I. comes to mind.
