As you all are sifi fans, i wondered. What is your favourite series (and why?) Me: I loved Stargate Universe (though i hated all the other SG spin-off) and the new Battle Star Galactica. I liked the psychology and how the characters developed towards/against eachother in hard out of space situations.

I will link a lesser known one that I like. (So far I only know of one person here that likes it too; Abordoli.) It's called "Lexx", it was unique, dorky and fun. :) OH! And Rutger Hauer (Yes, THE Rutger Hauer of Blade Runner) was in the series so I will link one of the episodes he was in. :) Rutger Hauer Lexx episode-->[url=http://youtu.be/-Q_ByQiVZLE]Lexx Eating Pattern[/url]

@ Shardy, i remember i saw some old V when i was very very small kid but don't really remember (only the reptile under skin heads i remember, and the curly brown hair woman in red suit) the new ones, i watched the first 4 episodes or so, and it didn't get me hooked :(

well i loved the movie of course, that was the ground starter to even watch the series, but i have to give it to you. ever since mc gyver i like richard dean anderson and watched it partly cause of him. but to get more detailed answers and there are loads in the sg-1 series. more advanced in atlantis and universe , although i didn´t like sg-a and sg-u that much cause of new characters, baddys etcetera. i liked the science part the most, since they went into wormholes, timeshifts and many other themes. most don´t like the series cause its too cliche

Star Trek Star Wars - It counts! haha and NOT for the midichlorians Stargate - Movie, loathed the TV shows Battlestar Gallactica - Old and New The Twilight Zone - Serling FTW! ALIEN The X-Files was probably one of the best shows ever made for TV period lol at least the first 6 seasons of course. Actually I've been meaning to write a thread for the forum about how many things I understood or saw in PROMETHEUS that came straight outta the X-Files lol

Can't just pick one... 1.) Space:1999 (Year One, mostly) 2.) Original Star Trek 3.) The Original Outer Limits 4.) Star Trek Deep Space Nine 5.) Star Trek: The Next Generations (Seasons 1-3) 6.) UFO 7.) Voyage to the Bottom of The Sea 8.) X-Files But, if I was forced to pick just one it would have to be Space: 1999 (Year one). I liked the tone of the series, the premise of man being thrust out into the universe with no control over where he goes and virtually no defense against what's out there. The characters had to use their minds to get out of the situations they found themselves in to survive. It's an excellent series and Brian Johnson (SFX supervisor on ALIEN) supervised the SFX. The production design was excellent too and it was the most expensive TV series ever made at the time.

It's a tie between The twilight zone , and the revamped Battlestar Galactica. Those shows we're just too good.

Hey Russ!! I recall both of those. I found Seaquest to be frustrating because I thought it had a lot of potential...it just didn't get there. I never really got into Sliders. I had friends who were into it, I just never started watching it. I liked Babylon 5, but I suspect that one wouldn't hold up under repeat viewings...

I liked Sliders because I lived just south of San Francisco, so it was cool watching different versions of my local city!

Stargate and Stargate Atlantis. I liked the goa'uld and the wraith. Babylon 5. The story was amazing. Star Trek series. No explanation needed. :P Lexx. Hilarious for me the first two seasons. Red Dwarf. Also hilarious in the beginning. X-files, mainly the early seasons.

No Contest here...In fact...I have a Hungarian friend my whole life whom lives in FLA now with his wife and son and he and I have been Best Friends since we were around 14...and since then we have been watching the tapes we have of all of the original Star Trek Episodes and what we do is call each other out of the blue and ask a Question which must begin... "In Which Episode" ? I have since, needless to say become the Ultimate expert If I may so so myself on all things pertaining to Gene's original series... In fact if anyone asked me now..."In Which Episode...bla bla bla..."? I can most certainly name that episode the moment I see the question, or a few short ones right after. I never miss! My favorite all time top 2 Hour TV science Fiction Premier was the Premier of the Revamped "Outer Limits" series entitled "The SandKings" !!! I just loved how them Sandkings created castles based on the can of peaches Beau Bridges left out one night next to their tank!!! & that all 3 generations of Bridgs's were used in the cast of that film. ...and of course, that it was fantastically amazing to watch and still is, has a shelf life second to none...

That's a wonderful thing to consider: The X-Files - my all time favorite tv show....hands down! The Twilight Zone (of the 60's of course) Battlestar Galactica (reboot) Firefly Stargate Doctor Who

Star Trek, Stargate, Babylon 5, V (original), The Twilight Zone, Twin Peaks, The X Files, Lost, Dr Who, battlestar galactica, caprica and fringe. and Why? Because I love science fiction...you know...the hypothetical scenarios of a future for the human race, Contact with alien life forms, new political and social models, technological breakthroughs and the most important of all: The exploration of the universe. And also I love the adventure in the space ala Star Trek (in the same way that a fan loves the epic adventures of the Tolkien Universe) and at the same time, I love the cryptids mysteries ala Twilight Zone, X files, Twin Peaks or Lost...
