Your favourite sci-fi series

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Hey! What's your favourite Sci Fi TV series?

I've finally had a proper one for the last year or so and it's FARSCAPE! Whoo!

What's yours?

[TKz]

Gah. Hard to pick. I love Firefly to bits, but it was only like 1 season long... But then the only other one I might consider a favourite is Fringe, but I'm still powering through it. (I love Walter) I'd probably say Firefly at the moment, as I'm still working my way through a lot of the classics like X-Files and such. If you count Smallville then that's probably a close second. If you can call Lost Sci-Fi, then I'd probably say that tops my list.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Well I'd call Life On Mars sci-fi so I'd definitely class Lost as it.

[Your Mom]

I would say Fringe but I havent watched the second season yet so I dont know if the quality keeps up. I liked Dark Angel too until it broke Lita's neck and had a really weird second season.

Yeah, probably Lost then. It get's a lot of crap from people lately and especially from those who don't watch it (LOL HOW CAN THEY STILL BE ON THE ISLAND!?), and after the second season things were a bit touch and go for a while, but it was the first series since Buffy ended back in 2003 to really interest me and keep my captivated. If Buffy was what I wasted my childhood on (which it was), then Lost would be my teen years. >_>

I think it's just a brilliant show, that's had it's ups and down's like most have, but it's one of the few that's ever managed to keep me excited and hyped up for the next episode every week. They could end this season without giving us any half decent answers to any of the hundreds of questions and I'd still call it one of my all time favourites.

As I say though, Fringe is slowly getting there. I'm midway through Series 1 and have been loving it thus far. I just want to give Walter a fan-dabi-dozi big hug every time he says pretty much anything.

I loved the first season of Warehouse 13. That was a pretty top notch show that blended the sci fi aspects with a more comedic direction. Really good show and Micah was hot as balls.

[stokeriño]

One of the Star Treks (DS9 probably). Because it seems my sci-fi taste is firmly mired in the mid-90s.

[SRN]

FarScape by a fucking million miles. I absolutely loved that series. I still have the ending to watch, though, never saw the all the seasons through but goddamn, FarScape is awesome.

[K]

FarScape is just Voyager with muppets.

Ds9 Crew represent.

[stokeriño]

I started rewatching DS9 from episode 1 the other day. Bless all the characters who are completely wrong at the start (like Rom being a typical TNG ferengi rather than a doofus).

[Hailtothechimp]

DS9 for sure.

1st season of Heros was pretty good. Never seen Lost (never really cared to watch it.). I'll agree that Warehouse 13 is pretty damn good. Enjoyable, funny, and some pretty cool shit has happened in the show.

Never seen FarScape either. I should really catch up on my Sci-Fi.

[SeanDMan]

I've been watching the later seasons of Deep Space Nine after starting from Episode 1 a few months ago. The series, especially in seasons five, six, seven, is really hard to match. BSG has some fan-dabi-dozi runs too but I think more or less an entire 3 year period of DS9 was just one top notch episode after the other.

Sleeper favourite so far: Empok Nor. fan-dabi-dozi episode, very frightening.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Ah yeah, just remembered. Sliders was pretty fun.

[GhostMachine]

Star Trek (original series)

Everything else

[stokeriño]

Bless TOS. I bought the season 1 boxset a couple of months back. I only watched a handful of episodes before I lost interest and moved on to different things. There just generally isn't enough to keep me engaged for the full 45 minutes of an episode.

I did make sure that I watched 'Balance of Terror' though. I love its proto-'Hunt for Red October'-ness.

[Hellfire]

Fringe may be at the top of my list at the moment but I'm not watching too much Sci-Fi right now. There's so much other stuff I need to get through first before I start watching any new shows. Smallville's pretty good too but I'm only like 5 seasons deep so I can't put that at the top yet.

[darkrayne]

hmm love SciFI!!

Lets see... the best?

Stargate SG-1, Farscape, The original BSG, and DS9 are by far the best... hmm and a shoutout to Dr Who (looking primarily the seasons with the 4th Doctor Tom Baker).

[Jimmy]

Damn, that's a really tough question. I've got five or six that I'm in love with. I guess if I had to choose, Buffy would just top the list. Man, do I fucking love that show. Battlestar Galactica is amazing, as is Fringe, Firefly and Smallville. There's so much out there in terms of Science Fiction which is just kick ass. Other than Fringe, are there any really good running Sci-Fi's people can recommend? I can't say I'm big on any Stargate or Star Trek stuff, but I'm open to suggestion.

What's Warehouse 13 like, Essa?

Yeah, if we can class Buffy as Sci-Fi then that'd be my number one, but I don't think you could really call it Sci-Fi. Fantasy, yes, but apart from a few elements of Series 5 & 6, The episode with the Alien (even then, that's just a summoned demon) from series 5 and Ted in series 1, there's not really much Sci-Fi.

And if you classed yourself as a proper Buffy fan you would know Ted was season 2

Buffy would be my top one if counted. If not either TNG or DS9 from the Star Trek persuasion... was never a massive Voyager fan. I think its because I was eith ambivalent to most characters on it if I didn't downright hate them.
