Your favorite scifi shows?

Cryxan	Date: August 16, 2006 @ 5:50 AM In my humble opinion, Babylon5 is the best TV there ever was, hands down.
EvilPicnic	Date: August 16, 2006 @ 6:37 AM I never saw it on telly but my aunt has it all on DVD. I got hooked and watched all five years of it in six months. There were quite a few crappy filler episodes, but when on form there was nothing like it. Londo's transition from drunken fool to doomed ruler over the years was fantasticly well done, and the general five year plot arc thing gave the series an epic feel. But the dialogue was often clunky (especially Ivonova's), and why did they have to kill off Marcus? I have to say... Star Trek is my major vice. When there's no-one about and I'm feeling low I make myself a bacon sarnie and watch an episode, and I feel better. I find the utopian aspects relaxing. Otherwise I don't really watch sci-fi (other than Dr. Who, of course), I find the majority of it derivative and generally shit.
hantu	Date: August 16, 2006 @ 6:40 AM I never gave Babylon5 a chance, i don't know why i do that sometimes. I just stop at the channel its on, read it and move on in less than a second. I think it's may be because i don't like the word Babylon or the number 5 Anyway, i love watchin the next generation. Mainly because it feels nice watching, it's like a strange childhood type thing, that was the first scifi series i got in to. I dunno, i just feel warm and fuzzy when watching it Nowadays i would have to say it is a toss between SG1 and Battlestar Galactica. I recently realised these are popular amongst viewers. I am in my own little world. I am very today. I may get hold of Babylon5 if i ever really feel the erdge, it's definately on my mind now.
hantu	Date: August 16, 2006 @ 6:41 AM "When there's no-one about and I'm feeling low I make myself a bacon sarnie and watch an episode, and I feel better. I find the utopian aspects relaxing" wow! it's not just me then
Opossum	Date: August 16, 2006 @ 7:35 AM Babylon 5, I have on VHS. We used to really like "Stargate Sg-1", but this last season with those two idiots from "Farscape" (especially Ben Browder, possibly the most annoying actor in human history) invading the show and writers turning it into a somewhat directionless comedy changed the entire mood. We've been accidently calling it both "Fargate" and "Starscape" lately. Not a good sign, although certain early episodes of "Farscape" were fairly good.
Svensta	Date: August 16, 2006 @ 8:12 AM I watched Serenity and realized that I might have missed a decent show in Firefly. I'll have to score that DVD at some point, I think.
LiQuidMetamo...	Date: August 16, 2006 @ 8:28 AM You can't beat the old stuff like 'Lost In Space' and 'Star Trek' w/ William Shatner etc, but my personal fave has to be Battlestar Galactica, I was nuts for this show as a kid and had a hissy fit in a store as a 7 year old when my mom wouldn't buy me one of those cool Cylon helmets with the cool red eye that swished from side to side !! I still remember the sore butt from the spanking when I got home too
Opossum	Date: August 16, 2006 @ 9:00 AM I confess that I've got hundreds of "Star Trek" novels, comics, magazines, videos, the nitpickers guides, autobiographies of almost all the actors, etc. Both the original, and next generation. Also got to see many of the original props, wardrobe, and even the original set (which was a little smaller than I would have thought) at a museum display here, a few years ago.
Opossum	Date: August 16, 2006 @ 9:01 AM Also, Sulu was here at South Bank. He seemed pretty friendly considering the number of people that were crowding around when he was just trying to eat.
hate9wicket	Date: August 16, 2006 @ 9:30 AM I doubt there is an episode of Star Trek NG I have not seen or the original for that matter...though you have to throw out the whole first season, especially when Troi was getting "empathic" thoughts, which seemed a lot like she really wanted to let us know she was constipated. ... that and any show focusing on wee 'lil Wesly. The Borg epis were the best.
Opossum	Date: August 16, 2006 @ 10:13 AM Heh. http://www.wilwheaton.net/
TameasDust	Date: August 16, 2006 @ 10:44 AM Red Dwarf was a hoot Andromeda is a good show Babylon 5 good show that
zedsalt	Date: August 16, 2006 @ 11:09 AM I'm completely geeky for any show that features the pitfalls of time travel.
Opossum	Date: August 16, 2006 @ 11:15 AM Ever see that show called "Seven Days"? Was really good, except kind of had somewhat inferior writing in the last season I saw.
EvilPicnic	Date: August 16, 2006 @ 1:42 PM ...Oh, forgot... Firefly...the series (or what there is of it)... everyone must see. It's floating around on DVD. Guns, horses and cattle-rustling... in space.
AgentMGD	Date: August 16, 2006 @ 7:31 PM i'm a Dr. Who (the classic ones not the newer ones) fan and Blake 7
Cryxan	Date: August 19, 2006 @ 4:09 AM I oughta mention the other stuff I'm into. I adored Farscape, it's well done. I'm thrilled to see some of the crew get together again on SG-1. It's adding a much needed humorous element to all the heavy storylines. I grew up with Star Trek reruns. I have tons of ST novels and have read many of them. I've watched all the ST series. I think DS-9 was the best, but the crew of the original series are like old friends. Firefly rocked. It's really too bad it didn't last. The chemistry among the crew was great. I'm enjoying the new Battlestar Galactica, too. It's very mature storytelling. Oh yeah, Andromeda was fun, too. I'm probably forgetting a few. I'm a scifi junkie.
Fraser	Date: August 19, 2006 @ 4:33 AM Futurama.
hantu	Date: August 19, 2006 @ 9:18 AM hey Opossum, i think i am begining to see what your talkign about, with the whole "fargate" "Starscape" thing although i also think i have noticed some other crossovers too or maybe i'm just loosing it I think the writers just responded to your post
Opossum	Date: August 19, 2006 @ 10:01 AM What the---?
JasonJSmoke	Date: August 19, 2006 @ 10:52 AM Twilight Zone hands down.
bofbrog	Date: August 19, 2006 @ 10:58 AM 7 days
JasonJSmoke	Date: August 19, 2006 @ 10:59 AM Dead like me is a good one too, But they only did 2 seasons.
Cryxan	Date: August 19, 2006 @ 8:35 PM Dead Like Me is an excellent show. Oh yes. Although I'm not sure I'd call it scifi.
moam	Date: August 20, 2006 @ 12:20 AM Hercules and Xena You would classify those as Sci Fi right? maybe? No? Okay...
hantu	Date: August 20, 2006 @ 12:26 AM oh boy, i haven't watched those in a while. I started watching Dead like me properly in the middle of the second series and then it goes and ends
AgentMGD	Date: August 20, 2006 @ 1:22 PM the original Battlestar Galatica was cool ...grew up watching Star Trek reruns too (my Mom is Trekkie and Who fan)
jewsus	Date: August 20, 2006 @ 3:41 PM i don't mind watching me some star trek, as long as its the next generation. my mom used to make me watch that shit too and it kinda stuck a little. my personal favorite was always the x-files.
MindSculpture	Date: August 20, 2006 @ 4:30 PM Buck rodgers totally rules! Farscape was amazing. I was gutted when they cancelled it
Opossum	Date: August 21, 2006 @ 12:09 AM "The Dead Zone" will be back on here soon. We liked that series.
PrincessTast...	Date: October 6, 2006 @ 9:58 AM Futurama. Oh, and I know it's not sci-fi per say, but Mystery Science Theater 3000 was extremely funny.
plungerboy	Date: October 13, 2006 @ 3:30 AM The outer limits was pretty cool.
Opossum	Date: October 13, 2006 @ 3:42 AM My wife and I just watched a boxed set from the library of the new "Outer Limits" which they never ran much of here. "Sandkings" (the first episode, in two parts) was really enjoyable - and the part with Beau Bridges (now on the newer "Stargate SG-1") hamming it up in an over-the-top scene where he cuts off a lock of his hair and sticks it on his face as a mustache. My wife almost fell off the couch laughing. I heard they cancelled "Stargate SG-1" - we're watching the next-to-last season according to the episode guides. Even though we can't stand Ben Browder's persona and antics, the storyline is interesting enough.
tracy	Date: October 13, 2006 @ 4:01 AM except the whole scully baby thing. what the hell was that. i also love lars von trier's mini-series "the kingdom." stephen king came out with an americanized version that wasn't too good, but the original was awesome.
EchoMinor	Date: October 13, 2006 @ 5:06 AM knightrider KITT! makes it a scifi for me.
Dexter	Date: October 13, 2006 @ 7:59 AM Twilight Zone
TonyV	Date: October 13, 2006 @ 8:36 AM I was always a fan of Quantum Leap.
EchoMinor	Date: October 13, 2006 @ 8:59 AM Quantum Leap was one of my favorites too, of course i always thought the theme song was too long and cheesy.
hantu	Date: October 13, 2006 @ 10:27 AM oh yeh! that was pretty cool. I liked the intro with the theme song, i liked sitting there and watching it everytime. But i was just a stupid kid back then, hell i don't even remember how it sounds anymore
CarvinAbuser	Date: October 13, 2006 @ 12:26 PM Doctor Who Outer Limits Lost In Space Mystery Science Theater 3000
HalloweenBat...	Date: October 13, 2006 @ 12:28 PM firefly
FraDonaghy	Date: January 14, 2007 @ 3:01 PM Yeah, I definitely have to put a word in here for Firefly - and the film spin off - Serenity. Best show I have seen in a LONG time... and of course they cancelled it.
mattbanx	Date: January 14, 2007 @ 3:07 PM The original Star Trek with Kirk and Spock.
shadowself	Date: January 14, 2007 @ 3:31 PM FIREFLY
shadowself	Date: January 14, 2007 @ 3:33 PM And those of you who have never seen Firefly, please watch the series first before seeing Serenity. It will make much more sense.
shadowself	Date: January 14, 2007 @ 3:37 PM love
Mojosnake	Date: January 14, 2007 @ 3:38 PM Well if xena count then my vote goes to buffy the vampire slayer and angel also roswell was cool love he new smallvile and sg1 is pretty cool
Tallisman	Date: January 14, 2007 @ 4:00 PM Firefly was very cool (a shame it was cancelled). But my favourite is the Series Remake: Battlestar Galactica! it's wicked, but one of those "gotta-watch-from-episode-1" shows.
zedsalt	Date: January 15, 2007 @ 10:25 AM I woke up earlier than usual yesterday and got to see a wild near-future parody type of SciFi show. It featured situations that mirrored what's actually happening now, but they had these people talking about it that had this bizarre, twisted take on everything. One of the things that made it so funny was that this group of people all had the SAME freakishly misguided view. One of them was named "Bill Crystal", but he was much more extreme and laughable than any of Billy's characters. It's on Sunday mornings on Fox. Check it out; it's hilarious!
ChillinBuzz	Date: January 15, 2007 @ 10:28 AM SG-1: yep, last season. still... Atlantis is cool Quantum Leap, First Wave, Earth Final Conflict, Battlestar Galactica... so many to watch
ChillinBuzz	Date: January 15, 2007 @ 10:31 AM oops, missed one. Babylon 5 for sure
FraDonaghy	Date: January 15, 2007 @ 10:35 AM Is the new Battlestar galactica a remake of the old one.. ie. same plots being re-enacted? Or is it a completely fresh look at the source material? A friend of mine is really talking it up.
SimonWaldram	Date: January 15, 2007 @ 1:31 PM Emmerdale
GeneHilbert	Date: January 15, 2007 @ 2:03 PM I've always been a Star Trek freak. I've seen them all - and still watch them if I run across an episode. When I was a kid, in the days of 3 channels, maybe 4 if you were lucky. There was a show called Shock Theater. They ran all of the horror and sci-fi classics…... very kewl
celtaidd	Date: January 15, 2007 @ 7:26 PM Come on People, it has to be Doctor Who or Torchwood, both produced and filmed in Wales? (No I aint Welsh, totally unbiased me, just live in a Welsh town thats all, oh and born here, otherwise I aint Welsh; which according to a CNN map doesnt exist anyway. Me rant? no way) And I dont know any sheep, before any english person asks
LiQuidMetamo...	Date: January 15, 2007 @ 8:10 PM I'm an English person from Yorkshire, so I couldn't comment about the Welsh and sheep...
shadowself	Date: January 15, 2007 @ 8:54 PM Celt, I do like Doctor Who and Torchwood a lot, too. Even if Doctor Who sucked, I would still watch it. Why?
imemine	Date: January 15, 2007 @ 11:40 PM Hot damn! SciFi what?
Tattoomom	Date: January 16, 2007 @ 12:17 AM Star Trek with Shatner (I'm such a geek) but also Quantum Leap!
GeneHilbert	Date: January 16, 2007 @ 12:36 AM Welsh and sheep.........LOL
HenriRoger	Date: January 16, 2007 @ 7:48 AM "Third rock from the sun"
JasonJSmoke	Date: April 17, 2007 @ 5:30 PM Heros is a great new show.
