Five Science Fiction Shows You Just HAVE to Watch
Doctor Who
Firefly is a space western that was created by writer and director Joss Whedon, the creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, and most recently Dollhouse. Nathan Fillion stars as Captain Malcolm Reynolds, who owns a Firefly class cargo ship called Serenity. In this version of the future many people do whatever they can to survive, and in the case of the Serenity crew this means taking on jobs that aren't exactly legal. While they aren't always on the right side of the law they do have morals that they follow (mostly) and this means that they do a fair amount of rescuing as well as robbing. Even going as far as getting a price on all their heads to return a shipment of medicines they stole in a train job.
Star Trek T.O.S.
Torchwood is the hit spin off of Doctor Who, a darker, raunchier show than it's parent series. I see this show as a kind of British MIB ( Men In Black), the Torchwood Institute is one that operates outside the government and beyond the United Nations. Their mission is to monitor alien activity and harness alien technology. The Torchwood Institute was created by Queen Victoria on the same day that she both knighted and banished the tenth Doctor. Her eyes had been opened to the existence of aliens and she was determined to protect her empire against an attack from those aliens. The series follows Torchwood Three, a division of the Institute based in Cardiff, Whales where there is a rift in time and space. It is their duty to monitor anything coming in or out of that rift. The protagonist of the show is one Captain Jack Harkness, a former companion of the Doctor. Jack leads Torchwood Three which consists of Ianto Jones, Toshiko Saato, Owen Harper, and Gwen Cooper.
Star Trek T.N.G.
Set nearly a century after the original series, Star Trek the Next Generaltion follows the crew of a new Starship Enterprise, this time Captained by one Jean-Luc Picard. His crew includes First Officer Will Riker, Security Chief Worf, Chief Engineer Geordi La Forge, Chief Medical Officer Beverly Crusher, Ship's Counsellor Deanna Troi, and Second Officer Data. This spin off was much more successful than it's parent show, running a full seven seasons, and then having four movies of it's own.

Kick Ass continued
There are a few movies that I want to see this summer, all of them look good, especially Iron Man Two but I really think it is going to be hard to top an eleven year old girl brutally murdering a bunch of mob thugs to the song Bad Reputation. Admittedly Hit Girl's use of profanity has brought about a lot of contraversy but I believe it fits her character. Her father (aka Big Daddy) is an ex-cop who was framed by the mob boss and sent to prison for five years as a drug dealer. His pregnant wife couldn't take it and offed herself, the doctors were able to save Mindy (Hit Girl) who was raised by her father's ex-partner until he was released from prison. Ever since he got out and got Mindy back Big Daddy has been preparing her for the biggest fight of their lives. When they see Kick Ass (Dave, the star) on tv he inspires them to find their own heroic identities. This movie is seriously great and all action movie fans should see it.
