Yes! The reimagining worked so much better. The original was a vehicle for the producers religious beliefs but the newer one was so much grittier

I am a fan of 2000AD (Halo Jones in particular), Firefly, Babylon 5, Star Trek Next Generation, Arthur C Clarke, Isaac Asimov, and some other stuff. I personally believe that the Fifth Element is the best film ever made, and I am so much of a Tolkien geek I used to be able to write and speak some Elvish.

Well its moment is gone. I have no intention of watching it.

Everything i loved to watch when i was younger fills me with dread if I had to watch it again now. Maybe there's too many bad memories.

Blake's 7 was good. Low budget and often filmed in a gravel quarry but the characters were interesting.

Sliders was good when the professor was in the show.

Stargate was a great movie, never got into the series except Stargate:Universe I liked that because of Robert Carlyle

Haven is a good current series, and Defiance is not too bad either

I dont have a lot of time for either, but I will find book time even if it's just while commuting,whereas film/tv time i will sacrifice.

Love a bit of quantum leap, there's one episode where they travel to 2004 or so and everyone's wearing strange clothes. I was watching it a year after they were saying and wearing jeans and a T-shirt, made me chuckle

I'm a total geek with my steam punk office and gadgets for any kind of conversion audio/video etc.

I collect Marvel and Dark Horse as well as the odd DC etc, I have number onesbof Spiderman, Hulk, Judge Dredd among my comic collection.

I also collection Marvel, DC, Dark Horse on digital comic DVD discs e.g Spiderman 1-400, Hulk 1-400.

I have about 30 DVD's of digital comics containing thousands of comics and like these as I can read them on Windows/Apple/Android and not have Kim moan about the space of my collection lol.

I picked the collection of the old Hulk series on DVD recently as well as UFO which are going to fun to watch.

No but that's why they team up.

Black Panther, Ant Man, Quiksilver, Scarlet Witch, probably bucky as cap, plus some others.

They'll have some chance. The last film is two parts.

This is the problem with marvel selling off the rights for the best superheroes. It leaves them in the hands of studios that aren't bothered how they handle the storylines etc and it leaves marvel with second and third rate fare, antman anyone?
