Star Trek? Stargate SG1?

“If you were approached to write one or more episodes for a TV show (past or present), which show would it be… and why?”

For starters I don’t think I’d be a very good TV writer. It would be hard to take a story and boil it down to thirty minutes or an hour. You wouldn’t have space to develop characters, etc. like you might want. That being said, if I had to write an episode, I’d do something for Star Trek.

I have no idea when or why I developed a liking for science fiction. I remember when the original Star Trek aired I thought it was silly. I didn’t watch the show until years later, and when I did I liked it very much. In fact I watched all of the various Star Trek programs that came on over the years. I guess maybe Enterprise was my favorite.

Of course I also enjoyed Stargate SG1 too. The characters were a little stereotyped (like in Star Trek), but it was a fun show.

So have I written any science fiction? Yeah, I have a light science fiction novel completed. The sci/fi elements are extremely mild. Mostly the book focuses on the interaction between the characters. I’ve really got to pull it out and dust it off.

What about you? Are there any other sci/fi lovers reading this?
