Imaginary Worlds – My Top Five

Entertainment Weekly recently published its list of 18 “Awesome” Imaginary Worlds. These are the fabulous locales that you might like to visit if they really existed. While I agree with many of the locations on the list, there are others that I’d like to visit too.

With that in mind, here’s my customized list of “Top 5 Imaginary Worlds” in no particular order:

  • Narnia: I wasn’t surprised to find this imaginary world on EW’s list — not only is it beautiful, but it also has its own rap song (check out the video by Andy Sanberg).

  • Stargate Atlantis: Who wouldn’t want to live in a city created by the “Ancients” and be able to visit a new planet every day? If not for the pesky Wraith, it would be ideal.

  • Lost Island: Mix the Dharma initiative with an island that looks like Kaui, and you’ve got a fantastic place to visit. A gorgeous blue ocean, luscious green scenery AND mystique — it’s the perfect combo.

  • Mars (Life on Mars): Life on Mars is an original BBC police drama that premiered a couple of years ago. After a car accident, Sam Tyler finds himself in Manchester in 1973. The world he created while in a coma is full of interesting characters, and as an added bonus, there are the fabulous 70s fashions.

  • Middle-Earth (Lord of the Rings): Another world on EW’s list, “Tolkien’s Middle-earth is home to hobbits and dragons and elves and jewelry of imponderable power.” Hobbits and dragons are cool. Jewelry that holds magical powers is every little girl’s dream.

That’s my “top 5”. What are yours?

    Life on Mars was a good call! It was a very cool and distinct place.

    My favorite virtual place that I would want to hang out is on the Serenity and in the world that Joss Whedon created for Firefly.
