Doctor Who and Battlestar Galactica are the only two things worth watching right now. Sadly, one is ending and the other is a bit too tongue-in-cheek these days.

Yes, Babylon 5 is a great sci-fi series. :up:

My compliments, Wolfehunter on your startlingly good taste for picking Red Dwarf.

Gotta love Rimmer :lol:

Absolutly Firefly the series, i've watched it so many times and there's always more nuggets in the script to find.

oh I forgot to add one classic space TV show that was canned years ago.

Space Above and Beyond. One of the most expensive made and high quality shows of its time.

Man I never knew why fox trashed the show. It rocked and was funny.:up:

For really informative realism...

If you enjoyed Babylon 5, you have to see this video for "Five Years" by Tom Smith.
"Five Years" is a parody of "One Week" by Barenaked Ladies.

If you have not seen Babylon 5, the video covers all 5 seasons in 3 minutes.
To help you undestand it here are the annotated lyrics.

For the Firefly fans, Tom Smith has a parody of "I got High", called "I'm on Firefly"

If I were the Robinsons I'd have tossed that tosser out an airlock at the earliest opportunity.

Not until the new guys have proved themselves in battle!

I've actually started watching some TNG Star Trek. Picard was always my favourite :smug:

Takao, those were absolutely brilliant!:rock:

Never heard of Tom Smith; now I'm a fan. Thanks for the links.

Gazoo in "The Flintstones" was sci-fi enough for me. :rotfl:

I don't think it gets any better than Zardoz for my money.

Sean Connery put in an amazing performance as Zed.

Another icon of macho shot to hell...

Sean Connery wearing some BDSM style outfit of thigh boots and a red diaper with matching bandoliers. :huh:


It's hard for me to pick a favorite sci-fi show simply because I love sci-fi in general! Very few stand out in my mind as being of 'literary' quality but "The Martian Chronicles", "Firefly", and "Babylon 5" are very well done.

I liked the classic Battlestar Galactica better than this soap opera hell-hole they've got on Sci-Fi Channel. The classic BSG had a sense of adventure to it that is sorely lacking in the new one. It's very telling indeed when fans got far more excited over the BSG Razor Flashback shorts for the classic Cylons than their excitement over the Razor movie debut itself.

Shows like Lexx might be "drek", but it didn't pretend to be anything other than that. Good ol' pulp-rag sci-fi with a smokin' hot babe at its best. The original "Tales From a Parallel Universe" mini-series that led to the Lexx series was much better.
