I thought it was a nice, apolitical question, anyway.

C'mon, we all know that Farscape is the only original show Sci-Fi ever aired that was worth watching.

Surely you meant to write "babylon 5" there ;) ?

Granted, but the new Battlestar Galactica is, in my not-so-humble opinion, one of the best shows on TV right now.

And I just had a thought. Moya runs into the Galactica. Creighton and Starbuck would either (A) attempt to beat the crap out of each other, or (B) get it on (assuming that Moya and crew were plucked from the appropriate season, of course), and either possibly after Starbuck teaches Creighton to fly a Viper. With those two, there's just no middle of the road at all.

Surely there's plenty of original sci-fi that's worth watching.

I didn't like it much either. I don't like Battlestar Galactica much, either.
Generally, since I don't watch a helluva lot of tv, I hate shows that have a main running theme where you have to allocate a certain time of day every week to keep up with the ongoing story, or you're lost.
I never saw the mini series before the first season. I have no idea what the hell that illusionary blonde chick is about. I can't follow a lot of junk, so I don't bother watching.

SG-1. Self-contained shows that you can watch whenever you like, and it's interesting. There may be a minor underlying theme and direction the show is taking, but you can watch each episode alone, and they're great!

Relating to the opening post, I'd have to go with 'smeg'. Red dwarf simply rules.
It's a bit silly that all those writers have to think up new explitives just to avoid saying fuck though.

It'll be a cold day in hell...you probably liked Lexx, didn't you? Communist!

Or firefly..

I'd thought of that, but Firefly was originally aired on Fox so I maintain internal consistancy. ;)

Myrth!

My reasoning is as follows:

We are currently in a situation where significant numbers of people in the world are hostile to the west, I'm sure that nobody in their right mind would disagree with this point. The logical follow on to this is that action must be taken, again, I feel I have everyone's support here.

Now, to divert briefly I'm sure that you will support me in saying that murdering and eating babies is wrong unless you have a very good reason. Also, the number of criminals on the streets is increasing and we need to find ways to lower the number.

Can any of you stand there and tell me that you support brutally torturing innocent people to death for no reason? Can you? No, of course you can't.

My friends, for all of the reasons that I have just outlined I urge you to vote for Myrth.

What an un-myrthing-believable piece of myrth.. I can myrthing believe you'd write that..

Yes! I've myrthing well made a myrthing convert!

you mean battlestar galactica, right?

you mean battlestar galactica, right?The 80s version isn't that good, and the latest version is not entirely original, by virtue of copying the 80s version.

lies! all lies! battlestargalactica is gods gift of love to us!

lies! all lies! battlestargalactica is gods gift of love to us!Which version? is what I'm asking.
I mean, I like the current series quite a bit. But that doesn't erase the horrid second (?) season of the first series. (The one where they reach earth.)

Hands down Firefly but to throw the preverbial fly into the ointment

other shows I like with a space ship theme
Buck rogers in the 25th century
Flash
and of course what sci fi list would'nt be without the movie that set feminisim back 20 years Barberella

sorry I over reacted. I never saw the 80s one, but I think it'd be cool to see them get to earth. I'm talking the new one.

Well.. FarScape borrows a tiny, eensy weensy bit from Buck Rogers ;)

I'm a bit disappointed in how lousy the Cylons seem to be at shooting though. But it might all be part of that 'plan' they supposedly have.

Well.. FarScape borrows a tiny, eensy weensy bit from Buck Rogers ;)Heh, I suppose most sci-fi series borrow from something. I think we might have to get back to Jules Verne for the first original sci-fi, but he didn't make tv shows out of them..

"bidi bidi" (oh god that little robot was annoying)

to tell you the truth I did'nt like the new series of battle star not did i like the later episodes of Far scape. But i'm just trying to remeber a series I used to watch :headbang: can't quite remeber all flowing into one jumble mass floating on the nether regions of my mind.


ooooo Wing comander not what i was trying to remeber but a cool movie none the less. *ponder* okay mental train of thought

wing comander
transforemers
tennage mutant ninja turtles
crumpets
cricket
humphrry bogart
nougat
terry bogat
Street fighter
Mortal comabt
Chistopher Lambet
Fortress (also a good movie)

Frell that!

Babylon 5 was not originally aired on Sci-Fi. And they didn't make the Rangers series like they should have.

So Farscape by a wormhole!:)

But i'm just trying to remeber a series I used to watch :headbang: can't quite remeber all flowing into one jumble mass floating on the nether regions of my mind.Describe it, we might know it..

okay It stared kevin sorbo and had the talking robot chick ANDROMIDA that was it YAY and by the by the best swearing has to be the chinese stuff said by the crew of Serenity in Fire fly.

Definitely Farscape, since Frell is the only word the Translator Microbes wouldn't translate lol :D

heh.. I was always reminded of Hercules watching andromeda (because Kevin Sorbo played Herculus, in case you didn't know).
The series had some cute women, but overall that's the only thing that attracted me to watch it. :p
