Hard to say. Good for binge-watching. Series 1 was very good, 2 could have been better, then it was cancelled anyway. Yet I liked the idea, seeing humans in the future around 4028.

Yeah cable is pay way too much TV but there really isn't any 'normal'/free TV in the US. Some networks are suppose to be free 'over the air' but I know some people who rely on that and most of the channels don't actually come through.

Yeah I never mind talking about sci-fi either, even if it's the same conversation lol

I loved Two - but I don't watch iZombie, even though it looks really fun. I feel like I've been watching Five forever (ever since Kingdom Hospital) and of course The Android and Three from Lost Girl :D

Galaxy Quest and The Fifth Element are so good.

If you get the chance you might want to go back and check out 9. He was a really good Doctor plus you'd get to see the beginning of Rose's (and in a backward way Captain Jack's) story.

I caught the first season of Wayward Pines when it was on Fox but missed the second season :(

Ah, Captain Jack! Naturally, I love him, too! <3

Oh, I donΒ΄t know if you would have really liked season 2.

SPOILER! Do not read if you want to be surprised! Cliff hanger and also almost all protagonists got killed, LOL

I'll have to see if it's available on any of the platforms I have access to then! c:

Oh, that's a shame. Free tv is ok here - ABC shows the best stuff but I watch anything I like from them on their app. xD

Ah, I haven't seen any of those! :o Am I missing out?

They're two of my 5 favourite movies. <3 It's those plus Moon, the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and the Mummy. ^_^

wayward pines It's been a while since I saw the first season but didn't a lot of the main characters die that season too?

Kingdom Hospital is pretty old now (maybe late 90's) it was a TV mini-series based on a Stephen King novel, if I'm remembering right. I liked it at the time but I'm not at all confident that will have held up well lol. I feel like Five played the 'creepy little girl' in movies/tv for like 10-15 years. I remember watching something with her in it with a friend and my friend was like 'wasn't she the creepy little girl in that other thing like 10 years ago? How old is she?' lol

I really liked the first couple of seasons of Lost Girl. I felt like it kind of lost it's way at some point (got to bogged down in Soap Opera-y stuff and too much... umm... 'bed hopping'). But I watched the whole thing and regret nothing and unlike pretty much everything else we're talking about it actually got to end it's story on it's own term not a cliffhanger lol It's a fun show, with really strong female characters. I should just google it, but it's late here and I don't have the energy for it, but I feel like a lot of the creative team for Dark Matter also worked on Lost Girl, I seem to remember seeing the same names in the titles - the casting over lap and the general feel of the two shows also leads me to suspect it too.

Oh man Moon is such a great movie! Do you mean The Mummy with Brendan Fraser? That's one of my all time favorites too (along with The Fifth Element)! I also love Jurassic Park. Night Watch (Nochnoi Dozor) and The Fall are two of my other favorites.

Yup! It has Sam Rockwell in it. It's about a man who works on the moon, alone apart from a robot. Well worth watching!

Yes, yet in the end, I think only one was left, LOL. Many new characters were introduced in series 2

Lost girl is great!

So not much conversation then?

If you liked Lost Girl you should definitely move Dark Matter up your 'I should watch that' list. I don't know if you were team Lauren or team Dyson but if it sweetens the deal for you - Lauren plays the ship's Android in Dark Matter, which is a major role. Lost Girl was really good but I always worry about recommending it to people for some reason....

Oh, good to hear! I am looking forward to it. I love Succubus stories. I read the series from Richelle Mead, do you know it?

I haven't heard of that, no. Just in case I gave the wrong impression, there's no succubus in Dark Matter.

There's more conversation and emotional depth in Moon than you might expect for a movie about a man alone on the moon. It's a really good movie. And a small bit of trivia: The director is David Bowie's son.

Not always, but he does talk to the robot (and it responds). xD Or to the computer, I think. And sometimes he gets messages from Earth.

I'm trying not to give the plot away aaah

Oops, missed your last post!

Bahaha, so 5 was creepy? Now she just seems adorable. That's hilarious!

Hmm, I'm not really into soaps or soapy shows. x) Since you're so positive though I may juust give it a go. Yay for recs! I do like the general feel of a lot of Canadian shows. There was one not-so-sci-fi show I liked... Being Erica. It was more mainstream but cute enough for me. x)

Yeah, the first Mummy movie! I refuse to watch the latest one (bleh Tom Cruise) but I enjoyed the Brendan Fraser ones. I still haven't seen Jurassic Park! And I haven't heard of the other two at all :o I will look into them.

(Also I obviously adore your avatar, should've mentioned it before now! :))

That was about a man trying to survive on an inhospitable planet, I think (and I enjoyed watching it!). This is about a man doing a job on a moon base. It's an excellent movie, I just don't want to spoil it. c:

Yeah Five played the cute 'creepy' girl in a bunch of stuff for years lol I think she was even in the first Silent Hill movie...

I wasn't sure if you meant the old The Mummy or the Tom Cruise one. instead lol I love the Brendan Fraser one so much (especially the first one). I saw the Tome Cruise one - no shock it's not good, I thought it was kind of a mess and very much a Tom Cruise movie. Honestly to me it felt like they were trying to launch a series - that was more of a League of Extraordinary Gentlemen then The Mummy on top of it all. Overall boo.

Night Watch (Nochnoi Dozor) is a Russian film based on a Russian book and it's the very rare occasion where I actually liked the movie more than the book lol There's a second one too Day Watch but I didn't like it nearly as much. The Fall isn't sci-fi but it's an absolutely gorgeous film staring Lee Pace and totally adorable little girl and it has a bit of a fantasy feel to it. YOU HAVEN'T SEEN JURASSIC PARK? WHAT? Sorry. Is it too horror for you?

Oh okay - I just wanted to make sure I hadn't said something confusing lol

Just a movie! c:

Trust me not knowing that then, never watching horrors at all. x)

Tom Cruise is so... not me. I don't think I've liked any of his movies! I was so sad that they were going to remake the Mummy with him. Why not... anyone else? xD

Interesting! I may give those a go as well, if I see them. ^^

lololol everyone says that. Idk, just haven't!

I have a vague memory of Five being in Atlantis for an episode or two...

Yeah I generally don't like Tom Cruise movies either. I did like Interview with the Vampire (still not sure how he got cast as Lestat), Minority Report and War of the Worlds (I didn't like it the first time I saw it but it's grown on me over the years).

I love Jurassic Park (and Jurassic Park III) but I just generally love dinosaurs and Sam Neill. I didn't like Jurassic World at all though :( I'm hoping this new one that coming out this summer will be better but I'm not holding my breath. The special effects in World were great but I didn't like the story at all. I don't want to watch dino fight with each other, yuck
