Sounds more than reasonable, to me.
I thought Lexx ended in 2002.
I have a huge collection of older sci-fi. Nothing current has been much worth reading , imo. I love the old stuff.
That's OK. With the mad rsuh by liberals for embryonic stem cell genocide American society will become an unending campy B Science Fiction movie.
There are three good series of "bar" stories.
Spider Robinson's Callahan's Crosstime Saloon, Niven's Spaceport Bar stories plus The Oldest Profession, and Asimov's Tales From The White Hart.
I'd do them up as one season of shows, loosely organized like Twilight Zone or Night Gallery.
Lots of room for jokes, latex aliens, music, fun.

Anyone have any suggestions of the best of the best of science fiction published within the last few years?
As a kid (20 years ago), I read the usual, Asimov, Heinlein, etc. I recently meandered through the bookstore's scifi section, and did not have a clue as to which books were worth reading.
Again, any best of lists published post 2000?
Thanks!
Already been done.

What would go perfect with this thread? A Soylent Green sandwich!
Didn't know there were so many scifi fans on FR. Cool.
I stopped reading scifi at Clarke and Heinlien.
One more thing - what are the titles of good science fiction movies made in the past five years? I've seen all the classics and I'm looking for DVDs to watch on Satuday nights.
Maybe they should make a show based on Heinlein's Starship Troopers, instead of slapping the name on a bad Orkin Man nightmare.
Blah! I like Blade Runner and just about every bleak insane future P.K. Dick cooked up. Looking forward to seeing them ruin "A Scanner Darkly".

I am siging off now, nice chatting with you, and providing interesting and positive responses !
You've restored my sanity, for now at least .
I will check up on some of the links you posted, when I return . .
Bye for now . . !
The vast majority of sci fi has had a white male as the leading character. Janeway and the black guy in deep space nine are the only exceptions that I can think of.
otherwise it is has been a steady diet of captain kirk, scott blacula, commander adama, captain picard, etc.
