Best Sci-Fi Series

[Sayonara]

IMO things with same name are the same series(eg.Star Trek)

SUPERMAN and SMALLVILLE tell the same thing so they're same series

and the Matrix has 3 movies so it's series

P.S.Star Wars has many movies and video games so it's a series

This poll is for syndicated television series only.

 

In this context a series is a set of [seasons of] episodes featuring the same central characters and usually a central story arc.

 

The Star Trek series are therefore separate, Matrix and Star Wars are inelligible.

 

As I already said Superman stories are covered by "other", along with every other syndicated sci-fi show that is not on the list.

[Wolfman]

Quantum Leap.... and mystery science theater 3000.

 

But since they werent on pole I voted for X-files.

[DreamLord]

Farscape!!!! But, Lexx and B5 were close behind. I love those shows too.

[LucidDreamer]

I'd vote:

1)X files

2)farscape

3)Sg1

4) Star trek original/New generation

5) Buck Rogers

6) Battle star Galactica

Farscape

[Guest NDENIAL]

Farscape all the way. One of the most creative and unconventional shows out there. If you havent seen it, go rent the dvds, or best yet buy them. Season 1 is a little hard to get into, but the story really grows in the first season, but season 2 is where the show really takes off, and season 3 is just perfection, as well as season 4. It will make you laugh, cry, shout for joy,etc., it brings out the full range of emotions, and i gaurantee you tv wont be the same after you are finished watching farscape. It pretty much spoiled every other show for me. Farscape is by far my favorite but i also really liked the x-files ( i was quite obsessed when it was on), firefly, st:tng, babylon 5, etc., but they just dont compare to the originality that was farscape.

Star Trek is ONE series, not 5 series, OK?

what a waste!

STAR WARS, SUPERMAN/SMALLVILLE, the Matrix ain't there

you insult me!! [sob]

Star Wars and the Matrix are not series. Smallville falls under "other".

 

Star Trek is five series, or four if you don't count Enterprise.

The Matrix actually was a tv series i'm nto sure when it was. It was just called that though, it had nothing to do w/ the movie, and ironically Carrie-Anne Moss was also in that TV series

Oh, and Voyager was my favourite Star Trek series of them all...well all the ones i've watched

[SolarFlare]

Firefly is the best

it got knocked down, cancelled

but the show is just too good, thanks to the effort of the staff, actors, fans and other crew it will be making a big comeback

 

Firefly will return as the movie Serenity !! Go see it !

[zpoot]

Is Serenity coming out soon??

Well, sports fans, it's official. The movie is shot. Done. And I couldn't be happier to be through with it. No more of that exciting, vibrant set, that warm camaraderie, that creative stimulus, free donuts... Excuse me. I have something in my eye... free donuts...

 

Oh, there's things I'll miss. But there's definitely things I WON'T miss.

In no particular order:

 

1) Fillion. People who are prettier than me are not supposed to be funnier than me. I think it's a guild thing. And that whole 'gracious and professional' thing got old on day ONE, you know what I mean?

 

2) Cinematographer Jack Green. This guy lights stuff ALL THE TIME. Seriously, like eighty-three percent of the shots had light in them. He totally didn't get my "Just Like Radio" concept for the film.

 

3) The incessant meddling of the studio: where was it? We waited and waited, what, are they all too busy and important to take the time to ruin my little film? This is Hollywood, people. Learn our ways and customs while you're here. Sheesh.

 

Just a taste of the Hell I've been through. And being surrounded by beautiful women, and, let's face it, beautiful men, all of whom get along, work hard and play their characters with such ease and nuance it's clear they were born for the roles -- who needs that?

Farscape....all the way baby!!!

exactly!! hee!! Carrie-Anne Moss is my fav actress, i know a lot about her from this waayy cool site and forum

[JohnB]

I lean towards B5.

 

While I enjoyed the various Trek Series, the big problem I had with them was that the humans were always right, always smarter, sneakier with the best tech.

 

In the B5 Universe, the humans were more human. Oh yes, and it was good to watch the characters evolve.

[albertlee]

The masterpiece among all the sci-fic I have read is the Time Machine....

 

I forgot the name of the author, but all his sci-fic turn the science into an unbelievable, ingenius , and imaginary extent....

[tecoyah]

I had to go with TNG, as it attempted to tackle current issues (albeit in a general way) and defined a civilization closer to that which I would like to see in our future. As a plus, Bradburys' world was rich in somewhat plausible reality, and was based on current technology for the most part....gave it a more realistic feel.

[TimeTraveler]

Voyager was my all time favorite, being lost in a completely unknown area of the universe allowed for many creative and unique ideas to be laid out. Also the Star Trek writers used very realistic technology and made it was very creative.

[Sayonara]

I have added Battlestar Galactica (Old), Battlestar Galactica (New), Andromeda, Stargate: SG1 and Stargate: Atlantis to the poll options, for no reason other than to annoy those people who already voted.

 

Ha.

[Geode]

B5.

 

ST:TNG, ST:TOS, and -DS9 all close seconds.

 

B5 had an environment ultimately more realistic than that of the Star Trek series'. It also had more genuine conflict, and more interesting aliens with more intricate independent agendas.

I voted star trek: voyager, had great characters, great writing, and incorporated a lot of true science concepts into the show. Although I do admit it started to get a bit tired towards the end; and i have never really watched B5...

[JHAQ]

The Terminator series ? Most of the others are science fantasy not fiction . Maybe the Startrek series .

[Sayonara]

The Terminator series ?

Not a syndicated show.

[Artorius]
