Poll: Your Favorite Sci-Fi Shows

[Worr Monger]

I would have to say the newer Battlestar Galactica. I haven't seen Firefly and while I would of voted X-File but it been years I have last watch it.

You should check out Firefly... it's only 14 episodes. But even that's enough for people to consider it their favorite.

Two words: Jubal Early.

I loved Farscape

Partly the sheer quality of the effects and aliens (there will never be a better alien on TV than Pilot), but mostly because of it's capacity to be both extremely serious and utterly barking mad at the same time.

Any episode involving Harvey tended to tread both boards with aplomb.
Also, Claudia Black, in leather, with a machine gun.

Everything in this statement is true, and pretty much describes why I'm enjoying Farscape. It's weird, silly & serious at the same time, has muppets... but it's just so damn fun. It really hit a good stride in the 3rd season.

Star Trek : The Next Generation. Absolutley love the show.

I have too many to count. I practically grew up on Star Trek, the original and TNG. I also liked SG1, Atlantis and many others not mentioned.

Stargate Sg-1 bags it for me but this poll sucks as there is no all of the above option.

Have to put Fringe up here if no one else has mentioned it. It kinda embodies the words SCIENCE Fiction, in that the premise is fiction based around science. It likes to take on things as if they were just within (or outside) the realm of advanced science possibility. Don't get me wrong, they have fun with it and I doubt very much of it is possible, but it still manages to feel realistic while also fantastical. Not to mention it has some amazing characters. I'm just getting into it (early in second season). I also picked other 'cause I really couldnt pick between new BSG, Firefly, and B5. So the vote goes to mentioning Fringe, 'cause thats really effing addicting and good too.

Oh, Farscape, how I love thee.

Farscape is zany and dramatic and romantic and hilarious and just WONDERFUL.

Also, semi off-topic, but Farscape helped me get into my first choice college. Seriously. I auditioned for the acting program at NYU and, in my interview, the woman who auditioned me asked, "If everything goes the way you want it to, what will you be doing in 15 years." After debating with myself about how nerdy this would sound, I told her "I want to act in science fiction television." She then told me that she loves science fiction and asked what my favorite series is. I told her, "Well, this Australian show called Farscape..." and she interrupted "I love Farscape! I have seen all the episodes many times..." and on and on. And we talked about how much sci fi and classical theatre have in common (she's a Shakespeare professor). And the interview went well and I got in! So yeah. Watch Farscape and your collegiate dreams will come true. Also, I see it as a testament to Farscape's awesomeness that this professor discusses it in her Shakespeare classes.

Edit: I also like SG1 and Sanctuary. Recently, Sanctuary has gotten goooood.

Firefly and Warehouse 13.

Doctor who is fracking awesome. I grew up with Stargate SG1 and loved every second of it...until Richard Dean Anderson left, at which time the show definitely took a turn for the worse. I don't know what people are talking about though, Universe is actually pretty good,kind of a Stargate meets BSG(the newer series). You also can't go wrong with Fringe, great Gorram show. Eureka is also pretty cool, in a town full of mad scientist kind of way.

 

[You Can't Take the Sky From Me]

Harsh Realm, it did't even get a full season but its realy realy good. You should be able to find it on DVD.

 

[Drunkenclam]

My favourite is Heroes. Best show ever but it got cancelled... Fuck

Based on the poll results so far... The Firefly fans are right there with you.

This is why I put this thread up... I've seen Doctor Who mentioned a few times and I wouldn't have even thought to consider it. I will now be looking into it.

 

[Doclector]

From the list, firefly. Damn, fox is fay fay di pian for cancelling that show!

Otherwise, a town called eureka. Where the saying "what can go wrong will go wrong" is proven on an almost daily basis! Firefly's awesome, but somehow, eureka has become my televisiual "happy place".

 

[duchaked]

My favourite, and perhaps only SciFi show I watch, is Firefly. Just so gorram good.

I'm probably exclaiming how it's "Just so gorram good" to my friends all the time hahahaha

good thing I didn't make this thread, otherwise the poll choices woulda all been the same thing ;p

but hmm as for other shows...I've watched some of the others but never was all the way in (Star Trek, various, round and bout)
been meaning to get into/more into the likes of Stargate and Battlestar Galactica (recent iterations anyway)

 

[Camaranth]

fringe,
firefly -I've started using Goram all the time without meaning too. great for around kids though)
BSG reboot
babylon 5- I found it kinda slow but really its an almost perfect length for over arching plot and individual story lines
twilight zone
Sanctuary (ok may not strictly qualify as sci-fi but I'm including it here anyways)
Stargate SG-1

Wow I watch a lot of this stuff....or maybe I just have a crush on amanda tapping

 

[Archangel768]

STARGATE!!! SG1 to be specific. Atlantis is great as well. Universe can go die.
