Firefly (and it’s movie, Serenity). I just didn’t enjoy them, just didn’t click with me.

Day After Tomorrow - the real, inverted (Hot not Cold) version.

I tried a Creality Ender 3 a couple of years ago. Struggled a lot, for me, it required a lot of aftermarket replacements to make it work well. I sold it about 6 mo later.

In Mar, I bought an Anycubic Kobra. Out of the box, worked like a champ and has continued to. None of the struggles I had with the Ender. Only add on was a sensor to let me know when I’m out of filament.

You’ll probably hear from folks who bought an Ender and had great success, and folks who struggled w/a Kobra, though. It’s like an automobile… you’re going to hear good and bad stories for each model.

Honestly, I read a lot of articles and just found what fit my use case, expectations and budget. Your first one will definitely be a learning experience.

Good luck!

Heh. Nope, 30something in the 90s. Just enjoyed good sci-fi then :D

So many good ones named, but I’m going to go with

1. The Hammerhead from “Space: Above & Beyond”

2. Any/all of the fighter ships from the video game series “Wing Commander”

3. How come nobody’s mentioned the fantastic Eagle Transporter System from Space-1999???

It’s a good search target for what has happened up to 12 Jun 23… after that? I can go incognito to reddit, get what I need then come back to here and continue using this as a resource and share what I’ve got.

Space: Above & Beyond. I thought it had some interesting ideas that were never given a chance to be fully explored.
Babylon 5. It’s probably up there as #5 in your top 4, tbh.
Planet of the Apes. 1970s movies and TV series.

You can get the entire Classic Traveller set - all the classic books from 1977 through the mid 80s - all the supplements, modules, even the board game rules/maps/counters - from FFE for $35. You can request a flash drive or CDRom. https://www.farfuture.net/ - the Classic Traveller CDRom.

The Facsimile book is good for the basics. The flash drive is an amazing resource.

I had the original little black books from 1978 or 79 - I was never able to get anyone to play! It was only in the past month that I picked CT back up and have put together a series of games that people are playing in.

@inkican Just asking if those are on-topic for the scifi magazine, or if you’d prefer them elsewhere?

@inkican What about sci-fi related games (boardgames, rpgs, video games)?

idk, when I’ve watched snippets or clips, it just doesn’t appeal to me? I always got the impression, to me, that it looked like “Friends in space”.

The fandom hasn’t bothered me, everything has a rabid fandom. You should see the frothing at the mouths when I dare to say that I liked the new Starbuck as much as I liked the old Starbuck from BSG 2003/1978.

I’ve got 3 of them…

1. I liked Prometheus. I had no issues with Covenant, enjoyed it as well.
2. I’d like to see more original sci-fi shows than just yet another time-travel or evil alien/AI destroys humanity scenario. I enjoy them, but I’d like to think there’s a lot more to the future than just those two possibilities.
3. I’ve never seen Firefly or Serenity and have no interest in doing so.
