John L Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 I am currently going back through the entire five seasons of Babylon 5. It is my favorite SiFi series, and unlike the other series, it actually made it through it's designed five seasons. That is significant. Also, the one thing that makes Science Fiction successful is its ability to make human interaction a focal point of the stories. B5 does this very well, the Liberty vs Conformity being the primary one. I'm noticing a lot of things I misses when I originally watched the series. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ringer Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Firefly is pretty awesome. ajb, I'm suprised you didn't mention Dr. Who since your picture is one of the doctors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajb Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 ajb, I'm suprised you didn't mention Dr. Who since your picture is one of the doctors. Does not need saying as Dr Who was the best TV show ever. Not so much now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ringer Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Does not need saying as Dr Who was the best TV show ever. Not so much now... I think Tennant did a great job. The doctor now not so much, but it's still pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imatfaal Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I thought Chris Ecclestone was great - present one is good (frankly anyone other than colin b and sylvester mccoy). But like Sean Connery IS James Bond - Tom B IS Dr Who Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phi for All Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I think Tennant did a great job. The doctor now not so much, but it's still pretty good. My daughter started DW with Tennant. We've gone through those and now I'm hoping she'll watch the Baker incarnation with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ringer Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I thought Chris Ecclestone was great - present one is good (frankly anyone other than colin b and sylvester mccoy). But like Sean Connery IS James Bond - Tom B IS Dr Who I thought Ecclestone started off kind of slow and then left when he really started to get the feel of the character. I just wish I got the show where I live and didn't have to try to find it on Netflix or on the internet and could actually watch it on TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajb Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I have found the pace of the original Dr Who series far better and the story far more engaging. Today it seems like lots of running about and not much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnB Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 (edited) Am I the only one who gave up on SG-Universe? I tried, I really did, but it got nonsensical. Why in Gods name would the Alliance think that an aging and decrepit starship that cannot be controlled (and even if it could would take millions of years to get back home) and is a definite one way trip is even worth highjacking? Add to that we know that in each episode the brilliant scientist (with a serious God complex and other psychological imbalances) will discover something and keep it to himself thereby risking everybody. We know that the computer nerd will somehow save the day. And most of all, we know that the politicians daughter, in spite of previous experience and overwhelming evidence to the contrary, will not believe that she is a complete clueless moron and will disobey instructions and get herself into a life threatening situation that she must be saved from. Seriously, a lot of time, effort and manpower would be saved if she were simply locked in a room with a single guard outside who has "Shoot to kill" orders if she tries to leave. Certainly a lot easier than having large chunks of the crew tied up trying to find and save her later. Edited September 19, 2011 by JohnB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyrodrics Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 (edited) My favorite one is "Cowboys and Aliens"..Fabulous sci-fi thriller movie. Cowboys & Aliens is a science fiction film that deals with the attack of aliens, on a town known as Absolution, which lies in Arizona. The film is set in the year 1873 and starts with showing a person, walking through this hostile kind of territory. Edited September 21, 2011 by Phi for All Link removed.

Xittenn Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 TV: I have just watched every episode of Eureka and Warehouse 13 ever made and these were the best sci-fi shows I have ever seen. Of the Star Trek series my favorites were Enterprise and Voyageur, the Original and Next Generation were fine but the above two made me feel . . . . Honorable mentions The Edison Twins and Sliders. I hadn't watched Firefly, but Serendipity was win. Movies: This is so hard because I've seen every movie ever made but . . . . - Cube - Moon - Children of Men - Resident Evil - Time Travelers Wife - Close Encounters of the Third Kind - 2001: A Space Odyssey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Appolinaria Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Firefly... never watching that boring crap again. Watched it with two friends and fell asleep while they got all squirrelly over the technician girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
