@bijouxbroussard The series seems to have aged well too.

@Grateful4you Yes it's true. It's rare for a sci fi to get to 4 seasons and beyond.

@ZashaKitty I loved stranger things. It comes under sci fi, horror, drama

@ZashaKitty It was produced in the early 90s by David Lynch.

@chrisCA I am a J Michael Straczynski fan for his run on Spider-Man and remember speaking to some gentlemen here about whether I might enjoy Babylon 5 as something of a fan of TNG and sci-fi.
I will simply have to consume ALL sci-fi and see for myself. Not a bad plan if I do say so myself. 😀 Might do so in order of when everything was released. Easiest way to not leave anything out and get a sense of what is more or less coherent/retconned out the ass. 👍

TOS deserves a mention for assisting with civil rights and having massive balls to flip the bird to the establishment arbiters. Always good.
But if we are talking pure genius of creativity: Tie between TNG and new BSG for me.
With an honourable mention of TOS for its own creative merits and using clever analogs to explore philosophy and ask interesting questions. Real sci-fi is always anthropological by nature. It always explores some fear or national mood or basic human condition - and it does so through imaginative means. This is its greatness.

I'm liking The Expanse pretty well. When I was a kid, I loved the 'Kirk & Spock' Star Trek.
I'm a little picky about my science fiction. To me the rules are: postulate a few advances - say faster than light travel plus transporters - and see what kind of a world you can build with that plus existing science. Most TV science fiction (including Star Trek) will introduce new 'advances' just to make particular plot points work. To me that's pure lazy writing.

@ElwoodBlues I haven't watched the expanse yet but everyone keeps saying it's good so i must give it a try. That's a good point about sci fi's and new advances just to make plot points work. I think a lot of longer running series fall for that at some point.

@TheSirfurryanimalWales Yes i'd forgotten about this thread too, but "someone 🤭" brought it back to life, which is great because i'm catching up on some new show ideas from it. I'm behind on Star Trek Discovery so i need to catch up. It's a great series,

@SW-User im currently watching another series thwfs finished and that's blindspot and also the blacklist I have heaps to watch when I get some free time
SW-User
@Aussieman I've heard of both those, i'll have to look them up. I haven't watched a sci fi since the new lost in space finished recently.

@LunadelobosIAMTHEDRAGON yes I’m not sure why I like it, the idea of watching people in prison isn’t entertaining yet there’s something loveable about the cast I think.

Has anyone been watching the new Star Trek Discovery? What do you think so far? I really like it's dark feel although Stargate Universe went down this path and lost a lot of their followers who liked things brighter and more friendlier. Still, STU was my favourite Sci Fi now i think, so I have high hopes for ST Discovery.

@Cinnia Hi! Well I've had some time and I've downloaded the series of Firefly and I watched the first episode. It's taken me three goes at it because I really wasn't getting into it by the half way mark. But I have persisted and at the three quarters part I'm like... wow!! Now I'm about to watch the second episode and I think it's going to be great! So far just from one episode I really like the captain and how he deals with stuff.
