Game: Mass Effect
When you consider the entirety of space, all you really can fathom is that empty horizon blanketed roughly with stars spanning millions of light years away. The deeper you go, the more alone you feel, and sooner or later you become engulfed into space’s overall blackness.

Book: The Graveyard Book
What I love about this story is that it's honest. The feelings are true. The book is very fascinating when it comes to capturing each moment and experience of Bod's, and it makes you feel as if you're INSIDE the story.

Website: Pottermore
All in all, it’s a fun and entertaining site, with some new information added to make the Harry Potter experience more enjoyable, but it will probably progress/advance slowly and there isn’t a lot of interaction.

Movie: Willow
I highly recommend this movie. It feels different from modern-day high-tech movies, but that's one of the things I like about it! And the music, oh, it's great! I'm giving the movie 3.5 stars out of 5 (which is a lot of stars coming from me). Make sure to watch it, if you can find it!

TV: Doctor Who
To fully understand what's going on with "New Who" I suppose one ought to watch from Season 1, however it is possible to simply start from Season 5 where the Eleventh Doctor, Matt Smith, began. I'd highly recommend the show to anyone of any age - even people aren't huge sci-fi fans can enjoy the show.
