When I first started taking this class I enjoyed many different television shows, one of them being Buffy the Vampire Slayer.  I had never watched Angel or any of the other shows we watched in class.  I did enjoy our class being based off of something other than just reading stupid pointless books that put me to sleep.  It made the assignments a bit easier when all I had to do was talk about an episode of Buffy.  The only thing I did not like was that the actual episode took forty-five minutes out of my day before I even got to start writing the blog.  I do enjoy science fiction more now though.  I would never have watched Battlestar Galactica or Caprica which both actually seeming to interest me.  Science fiction is usually known as something nerdy and I automatically think of Star Trek when I think of Science Fiction which I guess is kind of like stereotyping haha.  Anyhow, I think the theme of science fiction really brought more interest into the class and was a good way to make the class more modern than the usual boring English classes we are used to taking in high school.  Firefly was not my favorite of this class but I still found it interesting as opposed to my initial thought which was, “oh gees, I wish I would have gotten more sleep last night because I am NOT going to be able to stay awake.”  But now I am glad that I took the class because not only am I a better writer than before, my thought about science fiction have been completely changed for the better.
