[NT] Do you like Sci-fi?

[briochick]

Ok, really? I'm curious. I would *think* that geeks (and sorry if that's a dirty word here) would enjoy sci-fi, but I can't know for sure. Maybe it's too off base. I know that as NFs both me and my father love sci-fi stuff.
That just made me wonder about you all.
How do NTs feel about science fiction?
Do you like shows like Eureka or Doctor Who? Do you like Star Trek movies or Terminator movies?

 

[poppy]

Duh! Why yes, I do enjoy a little sci fi. Star Trek, Stargate, Star Wars, Ray Bradbury, Lovecraft, etc.

[Do you like Sci-fi?]

Haha, sure. I even attended the summer 2009 Blizzard convention to preview the upcoming Star Craft installment. I would almost take a peak at anything science-fiction related.

 

[Verfremdungseffekt]

Lord, no.

...

 

[Oaky]

Sci-fi... No
Fantasy Yes

 

[SciVo]

Yes! I love speculative fiction in general. My current fave is urban fantasy (e.g. Patricia Briggs's Mercedes Thompson series), but my Netflix queue is on Torchwood Season 3, which I suppose could be described as urban sci-fi.

Aderack: You're very funny, nice avatar.

SciVo: Fantastic. And, good pick, the Mercy Thompson series rocks.

Love it, can't get enough

Do you like shows like Eureka or Doctor Who?

Eureka: Yes, very interesting program.
Doctor Who: Depends on the version

Do you like Star Trek movies or Terminator movies?

Star Trek movies: 2, 4, 8, 9 and maybe 11 (if only because of the shoutouts and Leonard Nimoy) are great. The rest are meh..

Terminator movies: The first 2 were good. The latest one wasn't too bad I guess compared to the other SciFi movies released recently.

How dare you bastardize the glorious genre of "Science Fiction" by referring to it as "Sci-Fi"!

 

[SciVo]

Could be worse, they could call it "skiffy".

Do you like shows like Eureka or Doctor Who? Do

Really love the new Dr. Who(s). Reintroduced to full season of them on Netflicks streaming video. Finished all of season 1 through 3 now I am slowly checking out the older Whos of the 80s and 70s.

The Doctor is so...INTP, how can you not wish to walk in his shoes (or should I say time/space travel the in a 1950s style London police callbox)

If I had one wish, it would be to be Dr. Who. (and have all his powers, knowledge, immortality, adventures and of course both the TARDIS and a sexy/fun female companion).

 

[Synapse]

Science Fiction and Fantasy are the new cool!

 

[SciVo]

Now that I've had some time, I'm more curious if there's any difference in how much NTs like fantasy, compared to us NFs. I've heard fantasy described as one of the only remaining popular forms of moral fiction, along with mysteries. Supposedly it's more popular with women, and more women are Fs, so it might actually be an F/T difference.

 

[INTPness]

I'm one of those INTP's who is not into sci-fi at all. Fantasy type stuff isn't very high on my list either. I've just never related to that stuff. I guess I have dreams (aspirations, not zzzzzz) and visions of things I'd like to do in life or places I'd like to be, but it's hard for me to watch a show or movie or read a book about fire-spitting monsters or people who fly. That's more fantasty than sci-fi though. There was an old show called "The Outer Limits" that I really liked, but that was like over 10 years ago. I think they tried to make a new series with the same title and after watching one episode, I was no longer going to waste my time watching.

Anytime I was ever flipping the channels and came across "Star Trek", my only thought was, "Strange. Very strange." I know people who are into it and they are usually smart individuals, but it's just not for me I guess. Now, "Jeopardy!", that's a different story!

Fantasy, the best!

Fantasy: Hell no.
Sci-Fi: Sometimes.

I won't watch anything that has a wizard, a dragon or a midget. But I like some sci-fi movies. "2001", "Alien", "Sunshine", the new "Star Trek" and "The Terminator" come to mind. I wouldn't say I like it as a genre, because too much of it is so damn stupid. But there are some gems in there.

 

[SerengetiBetty]

Science fiction has always been my favorite genre for books,tv, and movies.

Fantasy : Not so much

Hilarious. But, midgets are neither fantasy nor science-fiction. What gives?

 

[jellyfish]

I hate traditional sci fi (take that, Matthew Z!), but I like things like Interview With a Vampire, stuff by Octavia Butler, anything by Martin Millar (who I strongly recommend. Read Lonely Werewolf Girl)...
I spent the first 5 years of school reading the entire science fiction section in my local library, though.
I hate Star Wars. My friend lent it to me for three months and I still never watched all of it.
