Seen a lot of that already.

Maybe so, haven't seen them.

if you're going to be a sci-fi snob you'd better be prepared to accept that Dune is arguably the only worthwhile part of the genre

10/15/2009 7:54:45 PM

ds9

10/15/2009 7:54:53 PM

firefly. but be prepared to rage when you realize the show shouldnt have been canceled

10/15/2009 7:57:40 PM

i'd agree with dark angel (the first season, anyway). and farscape is amusing

10/15/2009 7:57:41 PM

firefly was horrible

Star Trek: Deep Space 9
Firefly
Battlestar Galactica


all good.

10/15/2009 8:03:48 PM

Firefly
Battlestar Galactica...both are must see

Unlike the rest of the people in this thread, I wont comment on the quality of something I have never seen or only seen an episode or two of.

As far as Fringe, its decent, but the above two should take priority, unless you just want to watch something you can get caught up on and then watch with everyone else.

10/15/2009 8:15:06 PM

i saw every episode of firefly trying to like it. it's really not good. so yea.

fringe.

10/15/2009 8:17:23 PM

rewatch the X-Files series

you'll thank me later

10/15/2009 8:18:03 PM

really? people actually like fringe?

10/15/2009 8:39:41 PM

Quantum Leap

10/15/2009 8:40:54 PM

It better be Battle Star with Erin Grey.

10/15/2009 8:42:47 PM

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

10/15/2009 8:51:41 PM

Firefly is AWESOME.

I should rewatch some Farscape... I remember liking it when it was first out, then stopped watching for some reason.

10/15/2009 8:52:53 PM

i dont know a whole lot about sci fi tv shows, but i mean...

10/15/2009 8:54:49 PM

did jessica alba's ass kill the threaD?

10/15/2009 10:09:53 PM

Tin Man?

10/15/2009 10:10:40 PM

there's not really much else to say

10/15/2009 10:10:53 PM

well her ass has killed millions of men, all more richer and more powerful than this thread

10/15/2009 10:11:58 PM

i kinda want to start watching the new Battlestar Galactica

10/15/2009 10:12:17 PM

He robbed from the rich and he gave to the poor.

firefly

10/15/2009 10:16:17 PM

firefly, hands down

10/15/2009 10:23:34 PM

firefly...but skip the movie. it is a huge disappointment after the awesomeness of the show.

10/15/2009 10:31:14 PM

Seaquest.

10/15/2009 10:34:20 PM

Sealab 2021

Battlestar. No question.

most sci-fi is garbage, but this statement asinine.

10/15/2009 11:01:33 PM

Firefly hands down.

People say they like BSG but I for one just can't tolerate watching the constant shaky-cam filming style.

Stargate SG-1 is worth watching for the first couple seasons. After that the special effects budget gets a lot bigger while the writing and plots (and to lesser degree the acting) get a lot worse.

10/15/2009 11:04:13 PM

Firefly. If anyone in here tells you anything else in the same breath as claiming to be a nerd on the subject, they're fucking lying through their teeth.

10/15/2009 11:28:58 PM

That is why I never kiss them on the mouth.

agreed...and i'm not sure you can say one is better than the other, really, because they're both very different from each other

firefly is best described as a "space western," IMO...personally, i hate westerns and if someone had told me that before i'd seen the series, it would have made me think twice about watching it...but when you DO watch it, you realize that's a pretty accurate description and it's awesome

BSG is scifi, sure, but it's less so than a lot of shows...the character development is amazing...it's one of those shows that i sat down and watched show after show after show and was a bit disappointed when it was all over (though by the end, it needed to be done)

Fuck yeah!

I liked the first Stargate series. That Atlantis one was pretty sucky.

Firefly

10/16/2009 8:18:39 AM

My current and former roommates had a weird obsession with Battlestar Galactica. Like it was the only show they've ever watched consistently in their lives....and they're both 30.

So I'll vote for that one...having never watched any of those shows.

10/16/2009 8:20:26 AM

i like this thread.


Does Firefly have a true finale even though it was only 14 episodes or does it leave a lot to be answered/desired?

No, what's fucking weird is my ex-boyfriend who would have The Stand miniseries playing on his DVD on repeat for months on end.

"MONTHS ON END"

Studying? The Stand is on. Watching Youtube videos? The Stand is on. Masturbating? The Stand is on.

Maybe that's part of the reason we broke up
