What’s a piece of SF that you just couldn’t get into, even though you feel like you should?
I tried to watch Babylon 5, for instance, and just couldn’t connect to it. I know it’s popular and people love it, but it never hooked me.
Another is The Three Body Problem. I tried reading it after a friend’s glowing recommendation, but I couldn’t get past the first chapter. I even tried reading it in another language in case it was the translation I couldn’t connect with, but the same thing happened.
Both are things I feel like I should like, but just don’t.
My wife is a huge fan of both Babylon 5 and Stargate. She tried to get me into it as well but I didn’t like either. I love the Stargate film but the series was a tough watch. She kept telling me it gets better once you get to season 2 but I didn’t get that far.
