I have to admit, Star Wars is my first love. I first saw it when I was about 3. It's stuck with me ever since and I'll always love it. I think it's this love that fans have for it that makes it widely viewed as the best sci-fi film ever. You also have to admit that it did help popularize sci-fi. Everything we have today probably wouldn't have happened if it weren't for Star Wars.

With that said, sci-fi has been a huge part of my life. Forbidden Planet especially. I remember constantly watching it when I was young. It and Star Wars were two of my favorite things to watch. Heck, I grew up with The X-Files as well. The first episode aired just days after my fourth birthday. i was with the series till the end. Sci-fi as a whole has made me who I am today.

Now, I love anything by Joss Whedon. He truly is a master of the art form. Firefly and Serenity are two of the greatest pieces of sci-fi work ever.

I guess I'm saying this because I think sci-fi shouldn't be judged on just one series or film when there's so much that has given to the genre.
