Yeah! Firefly converts popping up like daisys! :D

[DesertHawk]

Battlestar G is arguably one of the best Scifi series since Farscape or old SG-1.

 

You may like Star Trek: DS9, too. That was a pretty great show.

Stargate SG-1 all the way. The character interactions are a funny as hell most of the time and poignant when they need to be. Cliche at times, but thats the point. Great series. Watched it from the beginning, still a fan in the late single digits.

Not my fault if I liked DS9! The ending got really horrible though. As in "The first few seasons were awesome and then along came the people who worked on VOY and it fell to pieces and now everyone hates it".

 

I met this little annoying child once who was infatuated with that show. Kinda made me stop liking it so much. But hey, everyone loved Dax. The first Dax. Not that horrible sucky whiny chick they put on after her.

 

Battlestar Galactica is much better than DS9. More serious, darker, and interesting plot twists. That is, if you're not living with a man who can smell what a writer is going to do next, and then declares it outloud.

 

SG-1 isn't too good anymore, but I must admit I do like the last episode (with Claudia Black from Farscape goodness! Mmm.)

[Rosbjerg]

^ I think SG-1 has gotten better .. but unfortunatly they are running out of new things to do .. I mean next time a new enemy will be introduced, who is more powerful than all the last, it would actually have to be some kind of God! but I love their irony, and the fact that they aren't taking themselves all that serious .. with that said however, I don't think the show should continue after season 9 .. because they are milking it dry as we speak ..

 

I would then like to recommend Battlestar Galactica one more time! since it is without a doubt the best Sci-fi show I have seen .. and there is no question about the darker theme, as in the introducing movie, the heroes leave almost 10.000 behind to get slaugthered (including a little girl we got introduced to earlier), because they must save their own (and 40.000 other thousands) hides ..

it's a show with heavy emphasis on moral choices, ethics (through religion) and the essentials of human nature (perhaps to a higher degree the more 'divine' and philosophical human nature .. such as the pursuit of freedom, meaning of exsistence and such).. while interestingly the more 'primitive' human nature is presented through the human created Cylons ..

 

As I said earlier, it feels more like one long 'continuous' movie than a series ..

 

of course it's not all good, there are some bad apples amongst the actors, and some bad perfomances! they tend to reuse the same animated sequences from time to time .. and while the story is interesting now (after season 1 with 13 episodes and 1 movie) I don't think it's actually going to keep being this interesting for much more than 3 seasons (4 at the most).. so if they stop at season 3 and give it a good finale, it will be one of the best made shows ever imo ..

I am sorry, but I can't get behind SGSG1 becuase the Sci Fi channel put all it's money into that show over Farscape because it was more accessable to the masses. Yuck.

 

Battlestar, huh? Maybe I will have to give that one a try.

This just in, Enterprise has been CANCELLED.

It boldly went where all Star Trek has gone before

[Rosbjerg]

sorry for resurrection this old thread .. but I just wanted to adress some recommendations ..

 

Have seen the first 4 season of Babylon-5 .. and my God that is some dark s***! nearly blew me off my chair, here I thought Battlestar Galactica was ruthless .. it does tends to sugarcoat, sometimes a little too much, things from time to time, but when it comes down to sacrifice this show means buisness .. at least so far in season 4!

 

if Farscape and Firefly is anything like it (or better, which have been suggested by quite a few) .. I'm gonna wet my pants!! :ph34r:

 

so once again, many thanks for the good recommendations! it has really been quite an experiance! and one I would've missed otherwise ..

This is my opinion only, but that

[Rosbjerg]

hmm well I guess I just have to see them! if they are half as good that will still be pretty decent ..

 

but Stracynski is a pretty good writer! gotta give him that .. and who ever is directing it is doing a pretty good job too! especially after season 1 ..

but story-wise, season 1-2 (and half way through 3) reminded me too much of Star Trek, since actions are pretty much without consequence, and everyone is oh so happy (except for the Narns of course).. but all of season 4 is simply brilliant! (haven't seen the last 2 episodes yet though)

[Kor Qel Droma]

This isn't quite sci-fi but you might want to check out HBO's Carnivale. It's kinda messed up.

[taks]

i'm a battlestar galactica fan...

of course, i remember when the original debuted, and i remember crying (figuratively) when it was cancelled (i was 11 when it went down).

 

the new show is pretty interesting on many levels. however, i hate how obvious they make baltar... any good leader would immediately be able to pick up on the man's obvious "breaks" from reality. but, suspension of disbelief is always required in any sci-fi show.

Personal favourites: Firefly and Lexx (I don't really like heroes)

 

Runners up: Battlestar Galactica (the new version) and Babylon 5 (I've only seen the first two seasons, I need to work on that).

 

Haven't seen Farscape yet

That Zev has enormous lips!

[taks]

isn't lexx the one that seems to focus on various sexual perversions?

i didn't like it much.

[Rosbjerg]

btw .. does anyone know when the next season of Galactica will air?? I can't wait ...

[Radamantus]

Babylon 5 was just amazing, probably the best i've seen, philosophy, spirituality, great characters, nice technology, and the culture of each species was very detailed.

New Battlestar Galactica is great too.

[Oerwinde]

I'm gonna have to pimp Firefly some too. And the upcoming Firefly movie Serenity. Firefly is by far the best sci fi show I've ever seen

[Rosbjerg]

just saw the very last episode of Babylon 5 ..

and that was some heavy stuff! .. but definitly the best Sci-fi show, without a shred of doubt, that I have ever seen .. I guess the best TV series I have ever seen actually ..
