OK. I started getting SciFi channel a few months ago and, as I cannot watch TV all the time, I had to choose an appropriately timed program. So the first thing I watched was the X-Files. I am an utter ET / conspiracy skeptic, but found this show quite engaging. Problem is, they played series 1 to 4 and have now gone back to series 1 again. Question 1: Why don't they play the other series'? Don't they have the licence?<br /><br />So what to watch next: Stargate, Stargate Atlantis, all five Star Trek series (I saw a fair bit of the first when I was younger), Battestar Galactica, Babylon 5, Odyssey 5, Tripping the Rift, Cleopatra 2525, Lexx, etc etc - the list goes on.<br /><br />Bear in mind, I lived in a country with no commercial TV from 1996 to 2006. So there is lots for me to watch. I hope I don't offend anyone, but the little I have seen of later episodes of Star Trek, I find quite tedious. Question2: Why are all the aliens in Star Trek humanoid, with slightly different head proturbances and markings? How do Star Trek fans stay so engaged and not fall asleep?<br /><br />Question 3: So, recommendations? What should I watch next? How does one manage starting to watch something in the middle of a series? <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
