NCIS,

Starfighter'

the 'on planet' parts. Every

universe just cannot look like somewhere on Earth.
I like the original Trek, but I am first and always a fan of the original
Mission: Impossible (and to a lesser extent the 1988 revival). Barney
Collier should have some fans in this group.
Of new shows, the only ones I particularly care for are Burn Notice and but only NCIS is particularly geeky (McGee and Abby),
and it's definitely
in no way realistic. But I love the characters.
Yeah, I love Abby too. I particularly like the hippo toy she has (I'm sure
you know why) and some of Abby's weird moments - the 'rearranging her
thoughts' moment in the current season has to be one of her best moments.
She is always a very sexy (whether dressed in her normal goth outfits or
costume party outfits). I have been a fan of NCIS from season 1.
The Last Starfighter was excellent, except for the enemy fighters all being
nicely lined up at the end of the film. That was such a disappointment. They
get one of the best pilots in the universe and when anyone would have done
in that situation!
Did that arcade really exist? If not, has anyone tried to make one?
Since they haven't been mentioned yet, I would like to throw in the
following films:
Forbidden Planet (Robbie The Robots first appearance on TV)
The Black Hole (Maxamillion is scary as...)
Saturn 3 (apart from a gorgeous Farah Fawcett, Hectre is definately scary)
