[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here--he's tried Doctor Who. He started with Peter Capaldi (she was at his house and he wanted to watch the latest episode). Then showed her a few David Tenet and Matt Smith. She likes it (probably because she likes my friend, but doesn't LOVE it).

We thought about BSG, but the first season is a little slow. If you love scifi, you will go with it. But as a non-scifi person it might be a bit much. And the ending sucked. [/quote]

I started Dr Who with Christopher Eccleston. I was HOOKED. I think a PP mentioned the Rose Tyler and they were spot-on. Everyone remember Blink? All-time fave. Anyway, if the Dr Who ship has sailed because you started with Capaldi (UGH!) definitely Firefly up to the movie.

Also not mentioned, Star Trek movie, the REBOOT. I hadn't watched Star Trek at all, vaguely knew the characters (like who doesn't know spock) and could follow along. It was a really good intro, IMO.

Finally, if you can find it, a series called Sanctuary that used to be on SciFy. SO GOOD. Lots of strong women and all genres of science fiction. 
Also Torchwood (dr who spinoff). Captain Jack Harkness anyone? He's pansexual, so that's fun. [/quote]
