Girls who dig sci-fi are hot

I've loved sci-fi for years and when I really think about it I can probably trace backward far enough to determine the catalyst for this love of mine. It was the first movie I ever truly loved, Back to the Future. Ah yes, the adventures of that fresh-faced scallywag Marty McFly and his eccentric - bordering on senile - doctor friend, um I forget his name, I just remember him as Doc. Oh wait, Doc Emmet Brown. What kind of fucking name is Emmet?

It was Christmas 1988 and BTTF (as it shall be referred to from now on) was premiering on terrestrial television. The idea that someone could actually time travel set my mind into overdrive. As the years past I leaned more towards hard sci-fi, Arthur C Clarke's Rendezvous with Rama being a particular favourite novel of mine. I was also attracted to series like the X-Files and hung on for about 4 or 5 series (I basically got up to the movie) and then just watched the finale (even avid fans have to admit the show lost its way a bit towards the end).

Then you've got a series like Stargate, which is a little less believeable, but fuck it, MacGuyver's in it. I'm also probably drawn to it because it uses real world mythology as the show's premise, the same goes for Stargate Atlantis.

So what does all this have to do with girls you may ask. Nothing much, I guess I was hoping some of them would crawl their way out of the woodwork, or just have some people recommend some other sci-fi that might be worth reading or watching.

Right, I'm off to conduct a weather experiment.
