I probably have to say Star Trek Next Generation. But if you count Red Dwarf then I'd say Red Dwarf.

Anyone seen Quantum Leap or Sliders?

I've heard those are supposed to be good.

Edit: Red Dwarf is pretty great, I love Rimmer :lol:

Yeah, lucky me, there are reruns on cable here!

They are good shows, even if the scifi part ( the "sliding" between worlds and "leaping" ) is only an excuse for placing the hero/heroes in different situations in every new episode...

Quantum Leap was excellent. Especially the eps near the end.
Lexx is very good. There's four seasons of it on suprnova.

Seen every episode of Lexx produced.

Futurama, wooo, that stuff is great.

And Galactica, have the movie/pilot on DVD.

I don't Know if Tales From the Crypt is sci-fi, although they used to run it on the sci-fi channel. I thought some of those episodes were pretty good. I can remember that episode when two guys are playing poker, and they start losing body parts. Now that is entertainment. And Futurama kicks ass!

Andromeda is total shit. I may as well watch Xena or Lost World. It's too hokey like its made for small kids or something.
I really wish they would make a Babylon 6 or something. I didn't even watch it when it came on TV. I watched all 5 seasons and the movies on dl's. This amazing show was like one big fat epic. It makes Star Trek look like shit. Joe was originally supposed to write for DS9 but Berman and Bragga wouldn't give up control so left and did Babylon 5. That's why they were out near the same time. Unfortunately I watched DS9 because I was familiar with Star Trek universe and the on seeing glimpses of B5 the aliens looked to funny. Boy did I miss out back then.

My favourites would be buck rogers in the 25th century and battlestar galactica. But both are inferior to the very brilliant V :D . i have got all episodes of V on video and just recently got V:mini series and V:the final battle on dvd :D .

One reason why I like Andromeda:

http://www.chinkii.com/uploads/album...20Doig%206.jpg

And also, I don't think it works if you take it too seriously, it's like Original Star Trek, neither William Shatner nor the guy who played Bones could act, every episode was an orgy of overacting, that's what made it so good.

".....RIGHT NEXT TO THE DOG-FACED BOY" etc.

But Andromeda also gets better, pretty much with each episode when it comes to the acting, as the actors come into their own, possibly with the the exception of the guy who plays Tyr, strangely enough he's the most serious actor, I think he tries to adopt some sort of Shakespearian quality but fails somehow, possibly because he's a damn poser, sort of like Shatner.

Edit: I've found a site that imports Andromeda DVD-season-boxes I'm going to become sooo poor. :D HAPPY now.

Yeah, I saw that! That show was pretty cool but those idiots at UPN cancelled it after the 2nd season, I think.

Babylon 5 is by a long long way the best Sci Fi show ever written. Massive arc plots that are central themes (as opposed to crutches for the moral dilemma issues that Star Trek loves) spanning five series. It had simply never been done before- comparable to the impact Lord of the Rings had on fantasy, it set a new standard. Which hasn't been lived up to as of yet. Slow to start off with, the momentum builds and you get sucked right in. Absolutely brilliant.

Other worthy mentions for me are:

X Files
Dark Skies
Brimstone (but not sure if that counts as Sci Fi)
V
Star Trek: The Next Generation (despite what I said above, still pretty good)
Star Trek: Voyager

And if The X Files floats your boat, then check this out:

http.//www.disclosureproject.com

and download the press conference. It's fairly big (70Mb) but well worth a look. I subscribed on the strength of it, and haven't been disappointed. Mulder could have saved himself a lot of grief if he'd just gone to see Dr. Greer. And they do say truth is stranger than fiction.

I liked third wave, it kind of reminded me of dark skies. Maybe I'll search for both.

Dark Skies was great. Pity it wasn't on very long.

Too many good shows get cancelled because the tv executives (especially in America) decide that they are too intelligent or too deep for the viewers, Brimstone and American Gothic being good examples. Both great shows, but need a degree of brainpower, so cancel them and make another series of drivel instead that hits you over the head with 2 dimensional "plots".

Bastards. :flame: :swear: :angry:
