Oh man, ok ok, lemmie think! 🙈 OK let's go with a sci-fi starter pack!
Killjoys (tv) - Dutch's face is here but Five seasons of cheeky sci-fi about space bounty hunters, found family, not letting your birth family decide who you want to be, and alien goo. Also everyone's pretty hot, just saying.
Stargate SG1 (tv) - Sci-fi space exploration via teleportation device! Alien hijinks! Found Family! (That's a common soft spot for me, fair warning.) Also it went on for TEN seasons if that tells you anything.
Pacific Rim (movie) - Giant robots battle giant aliens BUT the robots are controlled by people who have to ~connect~ in a telepathic way so they vibe well enough to not fry their brains. There's a sequel but it's kind of trashy hit and miss.
