STORM2K

I`ve always been a big sci-fi fan. From the early Star Treks, Buck Rogers through to the modern ones like Stargate and even Buffy (phworrr). There are literally thousands of star trek etc etc forums around the internet, but I could never find a board that had all my favourite shows under one roof. A place where I could talk about them all, without needing dozens of bookmarks, usernames and passwords.

I have been meaning to do a science-fiction discussion board for months, maybe even longer but things got in the way (you know how it is)

Anyways, I just finished it up over the weekend. Literally opened the board a few nights ago, so please bear with me. It will be dead for a while until we find our footing.

It might not be perfect. So join up up, chat and offer any suggestions on where I can improve things.

Big thanks to Chad to allowing me to post this

Nice looking forum there, Bob!

Weird that you mentioned Buck Rogers because I was just looking up Erin Gray this morning to see what she's been up to lately (she was just on an ep of Rockford Files that I flipped past and I got curious about her current doings).

The only sci-fi show I ever got hooked on was VR5. It was so short-lived that there probably isn't much to talk about regarding it. A Trekkie friend of mine ribbed me for weeks though when I got hooked on Xena -- "Now you know how a Trekkie feels!" -- because I used to tease her about the whole cult-following thing (books, comics/graphic novels, websites, games, cards, action figures, etc).

Good luck with your forum.

Excellent forum!

I have members of a local sci-fi club that might be interested in this, I'll let them know on the next meeting.

Thanks, I love sci-fi but never really bothered with a forum before. However it`s great to be able to chat about it. Some people probably think we`re spotty geeks much like weather hobbiests Oh well!! It`s a great way to escape from the real world for a while.

Nice forum, but maybe you could add doctor who

Cool, I love both real sci-fi, and actual science.

I'm into Sci-fi. Never quite got into Star Trek but loved the original 3 Star Wars movies, episodes IV, V and VI. My favorite remains, A New Hope, what I will always refer to as simply - Star Wars. When I and II were made, I didn't want to see them. To be honest, Darth Vader was my least favorite character and here by the time I (Phantom Menace) was made, he was so popular. When III came out, fellow SW fans said I just had to see it (III) but to make sense, I had to see I and II. So off to Blockbuster I went. Sure enough, after seeing II I went alone to theaters to see III. My husband said he'd go but he still hadn't watched II. I couldn't wait, I had to see it. Came home all teary eyed I might add - yes, I'm one of those wacky female SW fans that cried during one of Lucas' films. Big time. My youngest daughter then merely asked - I keep hearing about SW, watch one with me. And the rest is history. Back to Blockbuster I went and within two weeks, we were at the theater once again watching ROTS. During the Order 66 scene, she looked over at me and sobbed - this is so sad Mom. Reminded me of when she was 3 and I took her to see Lion King. She crawled onto to my lap when Simba's dad died! Fast forward 12 years and she was crying again, all b/c Anakin had to turn.

So I turned one of my kids into a Sci-fi fan. Kinda of! And we joke, last summer was definitely a Star Wars summer around here. On occasion, we even slipped into Yoda speak. Yoda became her favorite SW character and mine will always be Luke, that opinion was formed back in 1977 when I was in my 20s.

I loved a campy little movie called Logan's Run. We were watching a TV show called Out of Practice last week and this movie came up. She said - oooh mom, you've got to rent that! LOL

We have some past topics on Star Wars and possibly Lord of the Rings, if you'd like to search around. They would all be from Off Topic.
