The curmudgeon has never attempted to hide his enjoyment of SF. His brother, his mother, both readers, went through piles of SF stuff. To this day, it is still eery how much of that stuff has actually come to pass..
Enter Star Trek. A remarkable mind-bending show, what with zipping through space at 1,2,6 times the speed of light. The curmudgeon was spellbound. And even undeterred when he found out that hidden people were making the doors open and close.
Along comes the Scifi channel. Unable to trademark that term (and the curmudgeon knows all about such things, as his checkered career included teaching people about creating and protecting trademarks), the Scyfy channel was born.
Not unlike USA, they hatched some rather creative new shows - Eureka being a game-changer.
Warehouse 13 is his current favorite - give it a try.
