Blog 74-Science Fiction

So before English class this year, I was always very hesitant about watching science fiction shows.  My dad loved watching crazy shows on the Sci-Fi channel, but I was never a huge fan of it.  I think now though, when my dad is watching his weird shows, I will probably be able to sit through it with him.  I watched Buffy for most of my science fiction shows and I actually grew to like it more than I had anticipated.  I would get a little freaked out at times, since I hate scary things, but I ended up enjoying the episodes.  They had all of the drama that I enjoy in shows I watch today.  There were high school dilemmas, romance, and a lot of action.  I never thought slaying vampires was anything that I would ever be interested in, but it kept me interested in the show and wondering what would happen next.  When we were first assigned to watch episodes of science fiction shows, I completely dreaded it.  I thought it was going to be such a stupid assignment and I wouldn’t even like the show.  Finding a show I liked, like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, really helped me make it through the first half of the quarter.  If I would have been forced to watch a show I hated, I’m sure half of my blogs would have never been completed.  So in the end, it wasn’t so horrible watching science fiction shows, and I think they deserve more credit than they actually receive.
