Sci-Fi / Supernatural Series

"On Star Trek we used phasers instead of lasers because lasers were coming into being, and people were starting to know what they were. We didn’t want them to know our technology.  We wanted to be more than what you can see everyday." - Dorothy (D.C.) Fontana, Writer

Sci-Fi/ Supernatural Series describes shows that rely on advanced technology, scientific developments, alien life, or supernatural entities to inform their narratives.
