I dont think the one i like is sci fi but ghost whisperer
SW-User
@Girlyfriendcollecting It's more supernatural than sci fi but close enough. I only watched a few episodes but it looked like a good series.

aloysia · 36-40, F Best Comment
-The Twilight zone
-Stargate Sg1
-the x-files (until season eight)

my current favorite show: black mirror
SW-User
@aloysia I'd never heard of black mirror until someone on this post told me about it. I'm just about to start watching it. I'm excited as many people speak highly of it.
bhatjc · 46-50, M
@aloysia Have not heard of black mirror but i will check it out. And i agree x-files got to lost
SW-User
@aloysia I have just watched the first four seasons of black mirror and i love it. It's the most exciting show. Thanks heaps for the suggestion!!
The original, black and white, "Twilight Zone" (I can still hear the original opening music score)
@SW-User Science Fiction stories and the suspense is a difficult medium to sustain after one full season. Probably why "Criminal Minds" managed to survive many more seasons. FBI stories can go on almost ad infinitum. But that's just my opinion.
@bijouxbroussard The series seems to have aged well too.
SW-User
@Grateful4you Yes it's true. It's rare for a sci fi to get to 4 seasons and beyond.
Peaches · F
I like the original Star Trec,,,how ever ya spell it?! 👽️
SW-User
@Peaches The 60's one with William Shatner? (captain Kirk) or the one with Picard?
Peaches · F
@SW-User Yes, ♥️with William Shatner.👽️

@Peaches Kirk was great!

Is stranger things considered sci Fi? if so, that one.
I am not really a big sci fi fan and the tv series normally dont get my interest at all
SW-User
@ZashaKitty I loved stranger things. It comes under sci fi, horror, drama
ZashaKitty · 26-30, F
@SW-User its a good show :)
SW-User
@ZashaKitty It was produced in the early 90s by David Lynch.

@chrisCA Rock on man. Always a good show. long live the "Rangers."
SW-User
@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. 👍

@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.
Honeylove · 46-50, F
Jean Luc is my favorite and the the one who's name I forget but he is in NCIS now @SW-User
SW-User
@Honeylove Ah you mean Scott Bakula, he's really cool. I liked him in Star Trek Enterprise and also in Quantum Leap. Did you ever see that show? from the 90's i think, great sci fi.

@iamnikki Good taste! My favorite. I also like the old Outer Limits.

AND OF COURSE THIS ^^ 😊 AND SG-1 WAS GOOD.

OH YES: I LOVE SANCTUARY A LOT.
BRILLIANT STORYTELLING.

Twilight Zone, Outer Limits, Star Trek Voyager. My dad loved Babylon V and I never got to see it but in honor of his birthday I'm going to give it a shout out.
bhatjc · 46-50, M
@SW-User Yeah. just a small cameo. But hell she rocked that uniform. When jeri looked good.

@bhatjc She made being assimilated seem like a good idea
bhatjc · 46-50, M
@SW-User oh Yeah. and she made red shirting cool ;)
PrivatePeeks · 26-30, F
Star Trek TOS. The music is absolutely riveting, and the stories more than make up for the cheap sets.
SW-User
@PrivatePeeks I agree, and mine at the moment would be more recent pop although i grew up with 80's and 90's and i do love that.
bhatjc · 46-50, M
@PrivatePeeks Good show

So, you know we have a brand new Star Trek with Sir. Patrick Stewart reprising his roLe as captain Jean-Luc Picard.
I know that O'Brien will be there too, who else, I am not sure :)

Geez that was a good series!!!

Great characters

And really funny.

I bet you they caved amd asked Josh Weedon to do it, but it would have been too pkeasurable to give the studio the finger!! 😁

@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.
Space 1999. In retrospect, it was really bad. But I liked it just the same, along with classic Doctor Who.

The original Star Trek. It’s just so….odd. And Spock is one of the greatest TV characters of all time. And watching Shatner be…SHATNER, too.

But freaky mind shit!!!
Yeah

There is one mockumentary that scared the shit out of me on YouTube. Pox and faking acting but it was a YouTube movie but the story line scared the shit out of me[ it’s called 22After.@BoobooSnafu]
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.
SW-User
@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.

@Elessar I've heard of it, i'll have to check it out, thanks!
ninalanyon · 61-69, T
Don't really have one now but at various times it has been, in no particular order: Star Trek Original Series, Dr Who, Doomwatch, Babylon 5, Red Dwarf. All for different reasons of course.
SW-User
@ninalanyon All those are great, i think Star Trek was my favourite out of those.
bhatjc · 46-50, M
@DearAmbellina2113 All the seasons of the x-files or just the first ones?
SW-User
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.

So, this Q bears asking: Have you ever seen Sanctuary with guesses WHO?

@LunadelobosIAMTHEDRAGON Actually not yet. Everone keeps telling me to see it. I have the series ready to watch, so i must do it, as i liked her in Star gate.
@SW-User You will then love her in this series.
It's one of my favourite, very believable Sci fi /Fantasy show. EVER.
SW-User
@LunadelobosIAMTHEDRAGON Sounds just like the kind of sci fi i'm interested in!
This thread is five years old so I have no idea if I’m on it..
But Star Trek Discovery is right up there now.
SW-User
@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,
ChipmunkErnie · 70-79, M
TOUGH question. I love sci-fi in general. If I HAD to pick, I think I'd end up in a tie between START TREK: DS9 and BABYLON 5.
hatsupdudette · 26-30, F
im not tv series type of person but i watched "the mandalorian" and i think its worth the mention here.
bhatjc · 46-50, M
@hatsupdudette That is a good one. Sci-fi western
Geez, so many.

But the one that had the greatest impact was Andra, an Ozzi series back in the 70s.

I think all footage of it has been lost. But i remember being glued to it as a kid. It started me on my love for sci fi.
@Bushranger I dont think it would hold up much today.
But it would have been good for posterities Sake.
I remember the sets were awfully basic, think - really early Dr. Who style.
Bushranger · 70-79, M
@BoobooSnafu Or Blake's Seven? I don't mind bad sets and special effects, provided the plot and script are half decent.
@Bushranger ARGH!!!!! 🤗

(Avon fangirl mode just kicked in!)

I actually indulged myself early this year and rewatched the first 2 series.
I actually enjoyed it. A little slow at first, but it starts to pick up by the second series after they aquire Orac.
SW-User
Not the one you like
@SW-User I love Stargates , both of them :)
SW-User
@LunadelobosIAMTHEDRAGON 😊 Did you ever see the third one... Stargate Universe? It was cancelled after 2 series, but i loved it.
@SW-User Yes. I hated it.
I elaborate why in another reply to you, on here.
