Blog 74 - My views on SciFy, now.

So before this class I thought SciFy was something I would never really like or be able to enjoy the least bit compared to what I usually watch and enjoy. The term SciFy always brought things like Star Trek or Star Wars to mind, and i've never really liked those types of shows, and so its just seemed like something I would never go near. Then we did the unit and watched stuff like Buffy the Vampire, and I still wasn't very changed. Buffy was a little better than my original image, but not enough to get me anywhere near becoming a SciFy junkie or anything. Then, during the last couple days we watched some Battlestar Galactica and I didn't really love that either. But then, we watched Caprica, and I kind of liked it. It really didn't seem like Caprica was much of a SciFy show, it seemed like a pretty normal, whatever kind of show, I liked it! After this class, I probabbly won't start watching a lot of SciFy shows or anything but I have somewhat changed my outlook on SciFy. I might give some of the shows that fit under this genre a chance, like i'll be more likely to try watching them after this class. I don't think i'll go as far as watching any star trek of firefly or anything, but a show like Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Caprica I would give a chance. I've always liked the show Twilight Zone, I don't know how much SciFy that is but i've always found it kind of eerie and interesting, so i'll still watch that and maybe give some other shows a chance. Anyways, time to get back to studying for finals, later!

  1. I feel the same way as you! I don't really like Si-Fi at all and I didn't like how our whole English class was based on Si-Fi.

  4. I really wish that I would have payed more attention to Caprica. From what i did see, it looked pretty good. I want to watch it again and see how I like it.
