      I really love classic scifi short stories like those from Ray Bradbury and Isaac Assimov. I also enjoy a lot of the works from Frank Herbert and Robert Heinlein. Recently really enjoyed the three body problem trilogy.

      I guess I mostly like scifi with philisophical overtones, hard or soft, serious or silly doesn’t matter.

        Whereas The Original Series feels more like Lost In Space and Buck Rogers, The Next Generation pulls a lot of ideas from the old sci-fi greats and leans heavily into cerebral science fiction.

        The Animated Series has episodes actually written by some classic sci-fi authors, like Larry Nivens.
