Was curious to see what other eve players are into and would like to broaden my sci-fi pallet. Been watching Farscape, which surprisingly is a great show. Currently on season 3 and needing some more shows to add to my list.
I would have to say Star Trek: The Next Generation is my favorite series but I like any good sci fi.
So, any recommendations anime/live will do fine or if I have already seen it, it would be nice to have some discussions. |

Firefly is freaking awesome!!! Serenity is also a great movie. I am pretty pissed that it only lasted a season. Firefly reminded me of a live action Cowboy Bebop to an extent. I have seen all of TNG, DS9 and Voyager. All great shows in their own way.
I have been wanting to see Babylon 5. Especially after reading the conspiracy of the Series Bible and how the first season of DS9 and Babylon 5 are roughly the same.
Futurama is hilarious will always be a classic!!
Anyone watch Doctor Who? Been into for a long time and kind of sad about how it is becoming a fad.
It looks like Battlestar is the next on the list since I have seen almost all of the awesome shows you guys posted.

Space: Above and Beyond (this one will be fun to find)
I love a good hunt. I remember i almost shat myself when i discovered an old Nickelodeon sci-fi show, Space Cases.
FloppieTheBanjoClown wrote: Babylon 5: The most epic story arc ever. The first season is slow, but when you realize that things said in the first season are relevant to the events in the fourth, you'll be glad you watched it. The fifth season almost didn't happen and the primary events that were scheduled for it got condensed into the fourth. So S5 feels a bit like it's tacked on, but it does stay true to the original planned story arc and covers all the stuff that got cut when S4/S5 got pushed into one season.
That's what i hear. Are the rumors about the first season of Babylon 5 and DS9 true?

Farscape: OP is watching this already, but I want to recommend it to everyone. It's a great piece of storytelling and has amazing characters.
I also recommend it, it is amazing and it always leaves me on the edge of my seat. Also, Jim Henson Production is the production company, so all the props,puppets and costumes are unique and legit.

Already on my netflix queue!!!
FloppieTheBanjoClown wrote: Doctor Who: Old ones are kind of tedious, new ones are awesome.
I agree, the old ones are hard to get into but have great stories. I think it's the 60' and 70's effects. Although i would recommend anyone starting out with the new series with 9th doctor. Please don't start with the 11th, you will loose so much story telling and all the hidden jokes.
Also Torchwood is great!!! |

The DS9 Episode In the Pale Moonlight is probably my favorite.
Star wars the Clone Wars was not what I expected. Murder, Torture (Once to death), Firebombing villages full of starving civilians, mass casualties, hostage taking, blowing up hospital stations, acts of genocide, slavery... the list goes on and on. They basically said screw the sensors.
It isn't bad.
My favorite DS9 episode is Far Beyond the Stars.
Mina Hiragi wrote: They're fairly equivalent, yes. Random crap happening on a psuedo-interesting space station, with a few episodes set to lay the groundwork for the overall plots of each series. It goes rather farther than that, though - DS9's later seasons are awash in, "Last week, on Babylon 5..."
Absolutely nothing wrong with that; it's probably why DS9 was the only Trek series with a coherent, epic plot. And it's not like JMS wasn't digging around in Tolkien's pockets for B5. Good artists create; great artists steal.
That's my thought exactly, look at John Williams. Everytime I watch Star Wars or Jerassic Park I hear all the things he stole hehe 
Has anyone hear ever seen the Anime Neon Genesis Evangelion? The series will blow your mind!

Lexx was terrible. I have no other word for it. I found Andromeda to be more tolerable.
I can't believe no-one has mentioned Falling Skies .[/quote]
Seems like a cool premise.

I have only seen a few episodes of The Outer Limits. The one called "The Dead Mans Switch" blew my mind as a kid. |

FloppieTheBanjoClown wrote:Oh right, I remember that. I watched it, was somewhat entertained. TBH I'm surprised it got renewed. I'll have to go back and watch the first season again to figure out what I missed. Some other stuff: Fringe! I'm surprised no one else has mentioned it until now. Terra Nova was a decent time travel show for the one season it aired, and actually did a pretty fair job of wrapping up the major plot and not leaving a massive cliffhanger before it got cancelled. Eureka and Warehouse 13 are two light sci fi shows set in the same universe. They're half comedy and half adventure. Don't take them seriously at all. Alphas is a decent "secret mutant team" show where for once the mutants aren't absurdly overpowered. No flying bridges and instant tornadoes here. Heroes is another. Save the cheerleader and all that. The miniseries Taken was quite good. The X-Files, of course. Joss Whedon's Dollhouse is one of those that some love, and some hate. Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles Another one from around the same time as Space: Above and Beyond was Earth 2. Earth: Final Conflict is one I keep meaning to check out. The 4400. SeaQuest DSV, another "classic". Seven Days for more time travel. Sliders. That's all I can think of for now.
Holy Crap, I can't believe I forgot about Eureka. So pissed they are only do one more season. Sy-Fy is making a pretty bad mistake.
I could never get into SeaQuest. I always found it boring but maybe I will give it another try.
Taken was good one also. Remember watching it when it came out and thought the whole Roswell connection was pretty good.
Heroes was good up till the 3rd season after that it really was kind of being drawn out. IMHO, it would of done better as a miniseries and them ending it with the first season.

Reiisha wrote:Despite being animated, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex and 2nd Gig are pretty damn good scifi series. Even if you don't like anime, give this one a try, it's very grownup and rather complex, you may need more than one watch to get all the references and nuances.
It plays in 2029, in a futuristic Japan. The series revolves around a squad of the most elite law enforcers in the country, tackling some very high profile cases. There's a main case threaded throughout both seasons which can get incredibly complex - One of the early episodes in season 1 is almost only dialogue, but it's still pretty fantastic imho.
The rest has already been mentioned i think :)
Ghost in the Shell is a Mind****, although i could never get into Stand Alone Complex. Something with the animation bothered me but I'll probably give it another chance. |

This is actually the first episode i show to a new person watching Doctor Who. It doesn't give away an plots or story line spoilers. One of my favs. And remember what ever you do, don't blink.
