Or there are alterna...Nahhh, you might end up waiting too long for all of the movie. Or you could, as Bill says, use NetFlix.

I must say, though, that one can find some good deals on DVDs of movies after awhile. I picked up one of my absolute favorites, and generally touted as a very good movie, "Risky Business" for less than $10 for the digitally enhanced DVD with extra features.

I've always been a SciFi fan, starting with the pulps (Weird Tales, Amazing Stories, Analog, F&SF, etc.) in the 50's which introduced me to all of the great authors of that and earlier eras.

I wasn't even officially a teenager before I had collected and consumed all of Burroughs' Barsoom, Pellucidar, Venus and other SciFi series.

But, as much of a fan of SciFi as I've been over the years, I was never able to get into the original BSG series as I found it childish and sophomoric.

The new BSG is outstanding! Is it wrong to root for the Cylons in general and Number Six in particular?

Well, that depends on which Number Six we're talking about!

I just looked that up on IMDB, and I was a toddler then. I remember seeing it years later, though.

FWIW, I also heartily endorse NetFlix even though I'm not a current subscriber. I dropped it because I had too much going on in my personal life to watch movies. They've been sending me some tempting offers trying to entice me back.

While number six is definitely hot, my vote for sexiest Cylon goes to Sharon.

One of my favourite sci-fi TV series was LEXX.

You can't knock a show that has a sex-slave as a main character

Is "Firefly" one of the best SciFi TV series ever created?
