Firefly - SHINY!
Zardoz - saw it when it first came out (six times I think - then-boyfriend thought it was great) I still wonder how much they had to pay Connery to wear red "ruby" high heels in the final battle scene.
Monty Python - But of **course**! And my father has *never* smelt of elderberries ;-)
The Big Bang Theory - watched the first season on DVD in one evening. I like the concept, but sit coms and I don't get along. I like my humor less ... lappy
All of Robert Heinlein's Works - YES! He's one of the greats! A good friend of mine wrote the afterward to the Baen edition of "Puppet Masters" :-)
Atlas Shrugged - yep :-)
External ballistics - Good! (would 'internal ballistics' involve the ping pong ball scene from "The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert"? :-D)
You should review become intimately familiar with:
Firefly
Zardoz
Monty Python
The Big Bang Theory
All of Robert Heinlein's work
Atlas Shrugged
External ballistics
Not necessarily in that order
