MundaneMundane Elite Ranger
Of course we know that it is THE greatest scifi of all times...but well, not everyone can know the truth.

    "Arguably the best" so they give it #5?
  • MessiahMessiah Failed Experiment
    I could agree with that, however, I have not seen the new BSG, and Id vote TNG for nostalgic reasons..
  • SanfamSanfam I like clocks.
    And voyager is...10-ish?! No. That's horribly wrong. Where's DS9?

    Half the stuff on that list isn't even scifi!

    DS9 is a ripoff..
  • Farscape and newer Outer Limits are also missing.

    Yeah, atleast Farscape would have earned it's place in the top 5, atleast in my books :D

    But something to gain from that listing, I found a name for a series that I have forgotten: [URL=http://www.boston.com/ae/tv/gallery/topscifishows?pg=8]Nowhere Man[/URL]

    Nowhere Man was awesome, DS9 damn well [i]should[/i] have been listed, and towards the top, too, same goes for Farscape... and Galactica lost best series of all time to the original Trek? This list is all frakked up.

    This brings up another remark. "Frak" is a terrible substitute for an already overused profanity. It just doesn't slide off the tongue like it should. Now..."Frell" is a good one. It's quite slick!
  • NorlionNorlion Earthforce Officer
    Where's "The Prisoner?"

    and The Irresponsible Captain Tylor?

    and Red Dwarf. Red Dwarf is acutal sci-fi unlike many on that list.

    'Frell' isn't hard enough. It's far too polite!

    'Frak' retains enough of that Anglo-Saxon edge.. :D

    Um, so 3rd rock is scifi? And LOST?? And what the frak, Xena is higher placed than Firefly, come on...
  • jusasjusas Earthforce Officer
    The new BSG is some really good stuff. I had my reservations before I watched the pilot but right after that I was completely sold :) This beats the average Stargate stuff 10-0. I just love the atmosphere and the plot is quite interesting. Still quite sad to see BSG take B5's place, BSG is still such a newcomer and in my opinion, hasn't got the credentials to be that high compared to the established veterans.

    Frell just doesn't have the same sound.

    I still believe the Farscape world has better profanities. Frell (and of course, Frellwit), Tralk, Dren, Yotz,
    Hezmana , Crank, Kinkoid, Veen, Draz, Mivonks/Numdas, Hasmot, Zangblats, Fahrbot, Farko, Fapootah, Fekkik, Pleebing, Welnitz, Thoddo...

    So many! So many great words.

  • My Top 5:

    1. Babylon 5
    2. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
    3. Battlestar Galactica (TNS)
    4. Star Trek: The Next Generation
    5. Firefly
  • Vorlon Ambassador KoshVorlon Ambassador Kosh Vorlonforce Officer
    Mine:

    1) Babylon 5
    2) Space Above & Beyond, BSG, Firefly
    5) ST: Deep Space Nine, ST: The Next Generation

    Now, if you count Seaquest I honestly don't know where it would be since I loved the show, but that was ten years ago and I haven't seen it since then...

    EDIT: Hmm, can't choose between TNG and DS9...
