So you both happened to miss all the posts about the actual SEX SCENES in Battlestar Galactica and Terminator, among others?I can't believe that there isn't a single good 'sex scene' (in the original definition of the term - two people doin' the horizontal lambada!) that people actually like in this genre.
Well, as Irvin Kershner wryly observed of the scene in Empire Strikes Back where Leia and Han kiss passionately... that's their equivalent of a sex scene.
Or did they just get overshadowed by the obsession with the Alien impaling a woman with its tail...
To each their own.
Of the six or so pages full of posts, far too many are devoted to Alien whether it's facehugger or tail or ... While I really liked the movie (I remember actually getting too 'oppressed' by the atmosphere of it all when they enter the ship with the rows and rows of eggs. Had to stop cos the tension was just too much. I knew already about the facehugger bit from just common knowledge about what Alien was about. But didn't know when it would happen. So waiting for it became too much. Watched it again from the beginning again next day) it doesn't meet my definition of a "best sci-fi sex scene".
I haven't watched BSG. As yet. So I kinda am staying away from that. And I don't really remember the sex scene in Terminator now.
Per my definition (the horizontal lambada one) which was somewhat deliberately crass, I was talking about lots of flesh-showing, *exciting* (in the sense of causing boys voices to break) kinda raunch. If we consider The Brotherhood of the Wolf as alternate history sci-fi then it qualifies. For the wonderful gorgeous flesh of La Bellucci.
