Favorite Sci-Fi Series?

Note: Distinguish your preferences for a sub-series i.e. SG:1 v. Atlantis

For me:

I'd have to say Misfits

Especially the first 2 seasons. Really one of the best shows on TV imo. I know it's kinda tweener sci-fi, but it f*cking rocks.

the '04 BSG, far and away the greatest science fiction show ever made.

STTNG started out as schlocky as any other scifi series but turned into the force that made well written modern scifi TV possible.

Firefly because it mashed up a lot of genres to make a clever show that could be shot on a TV budget without having a franchise name attached to it, and also because the movie was pretty freaking good.

ST: DS9 had some great ideas and episodes but didn't hang all that well as a body of work which was disappointing.

I am a FAN of lots of "bad" shows and love them for what they are, or their design, or whatever, but putting everything together is difficult. I see that Space:Above and Beyond was mentioned and I liked that show a lot but terrible time slots and a meandering plot with a tiny budget did it in before it found its footing which was a shame. It had some fantastic ideas to explore.

blame! Has an anime or show? or are you just talking about the manga??

Since you like blame also checkout Biomega which may be a bit of a prequel

I was talking about the manga but Blame! does have a short anime series though I havent seen it.

I actually read Biomega last week. :)

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
