I will encourage my son to get to like sci-fi. It's the wife who doesn't particularly care for it. My parents weren't against it, thank God. They never tried to interfere with my interests. What really got me hooked on sci-fi was when I read War of the Worlds in the 4th grade. I've been hooked ever since. Speaking of Star Trek, even though my memory has become vague over the years, I do remember seeing most of the "Assignment Earth" episode when it first aired. I was probably 4 or 5 at the time. It wasn't until the 70's when the show was syndicated that I became hooked. Now to get my son to like such things. Besides the other movies I mentioned earlier, he also likes The Hulk, and will insist on watching that from time to time. I'd rather watch that (even though it wasn't the greatest superhero movie ever made) than Ernest Scared Stupid or Slamdunk Ernest.
