Gawd I love sci-fi, perhaps because I love philosophy and sci-fi always plays with it, carrying out thought experiments about the human condition, human consciousness, the reality we experience, its mysteries and theoretical possibilities.


 


Sometimes I feel like this is a golden age of sci-fi TV. Over recent years my favorites have been Extant, Westworld, The Leftovers and Sense8 - because they're such great experimental TV, not just good sci-fi.  Also liked Stranger Things, Wayward Pines (until it lost its way) and really love time travel stuff like Continuum and Travelers.


 


Lots of others I could list (before even getting started on films!), but just curious to know who else loves sci-fi/time travel stuff and what you're all watching (or reading).

I used to love Sci-Fi, but mostly books (I'm now re-reading Heinlein's 'The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress' which is a classic if there ever was one.  They made a movie of Heinlein's 'Starship Troopers' which I though sucked.  Now I'm more into fantasy.


Speaking of movies though, have you seen 'Jumper'?  The movie was very good, but the books were even better.

Doctor Who is good. And quantum leap. Heard there was a movie out called quantum leap.

I loved this stuff also my whole life. Due to less time for all the new SciFi series i'm more the old fashion guy of Star Trek, Babylon 5 and stuff of that time even i like the new DC and Marvel series and of course all the great SciFi/Superhero movies of the last 40 years till today.
