Too low for serving chickens, to hot for breathing

I don't think chickens like those temperatures, either.

Spammers are getting creative. I used to get emails from the president, vice president, etc all the time. I just got a spam email from "Agent Dana Scully".

I miss X-Files.

Am I the only Sci-Fi enthusiast who never watched X Files? I may have to binge watch it all some day.

Favorite Sci-Fi series?

The emails spam filter takes care of most of them. What I hate are the telemarketers spamming phone numbers. Its bad enough that I get suckered into answering because I recognize the number, but I hate when people (spoof victims) call me back. The other day I got a call from an elderly lady saying she was returning my missed call. When I tried to tell her I hadn't called her she got irate and told me "yes you did your number is on my caller id". Efforts to explain that it was a telemarketer spoofing numbers just made her madder. I finally hung up in the middle of her tirade that she was going to call the phone company and report me.

X-Files is probably one of my favorite series, if not my favorite. I also thoroughly enjoy the Star Trek franchise.

Dr. Who, Firefly, Battlestar Galactica, etc.

Twin Peaks.

I like Star Wars, but I'm a Trekkie.

Aha! Seen that one!

X-Files is probably one of my favorite series, if not my favorite. I also thoroughly enjoy the Star Trek franchise.

Twin Peaks.

I like Star Wars, but I'm a Trekkie.

Older Star Wars (Ep IV-VI) movies over Star Trek reboot movies.
Star Trek reboot movies over newest Star wars movies (Force Awakens, Rogue One).
Newest Star Wars movies over Star Trek tv series.
Star Trek tv series over all Star Trek movies (Original and TNG)
Old Star Trek movies over TNG and Deep Space Nine tv and movies.
Star Trek TNG over Deep Space Nine.
Everything over terrible Star Wars movies (Ep I- III)

ETA - I love BSG series except for the last season.

Favorite Sci-Fi series?

I watched it a number of times, but not enough to call myself a fan.

For me: Dr. Who, Torchwood, Star trek (OS, TNG).

edit: Oh, yes - Firefly.

I was getting a bunch of calls for the person that previously had my number. It was so bad that, at one point I answered and told the caller that "she's gone to a better place" -- let them try to figure it out.

I make it a point in election years to note all the state and local politicians (especially the local) that robocall me. Then I look up their home numbers. When a telemarketer calls I tell them they caught me at work, and I'm really interested but I can't talk would they call back after work to my home number (insert politicians number)?

I have been watching it on Netflix. I did enjoy it when it was in its first run, but I never saw more than a few episodes. I missed a lot of 90s television - most of that decade was spent in grad school or overseas, and so I have to play catch up I didn't start watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer, for example, until well past its final season. I missed the last couple of seasons of Seinfeld and all of Firefly. Thankfully, I also missed the whole beginning of the Survivor-type reality shows.

It's also kind of my modus operandi - I'm always late to the party, regardless of a show being current or not! For example, I have a feeling I'd probably love the Walking Dead, but I never started watching it. At this point, I'd rather just wait for it to be over and then start from the beginning. And I didn't start watching Orange is the New Black until it had just released Season 3.

I like Star Trek (original series, natch, but also Next Gen. I also watched a bit of Deep Space Nine) but I'm definitely more of a Star Wars fan. When I was a kid, I loooooved sci-fi and/or fantasy series and movies and books, so I've always been a geek

Lost in Space, Buck Rogers, The 6-Million Dollar Man and Bionic Woman, Wonder Woman, Voyagers, Logan's Run, Planet of the Apes... These days, I must confess a small obsession with Supernatural.

Never got into Dr. Who, though.
