LEXX!!!!!

Battlestar Galatica is really good.

because sci fi sux.

Battlestar Galactica is good if you can stay throught Season 1, really good story Development . But I normaly don't like Uniform Military Sci Fi Shows, would love to see more Western SciFi like Firefly, well guess only one who delivers are japanese Animes like Cowboy Bebop and Trigun

i thought robocop prime directives was pretty good but i don't know if that would qualify as a 'series'

Battlestar Galactica
Doctor Who
The Prisioner
Quantum Leap
Babylon 5
The Twilight Zone
Taken
Jericho
Red Dwarf

TSCC should be canceled and burned

I have some hopes for Sanctuary.

and anyone mentioning Andromeda should rot in he ... wait fuck . Well don't watch it

fucking hell, you forgot farscape.. skip season 2, it's not that important anyway and it will let you down. the rest is awesomely awesome, in a very awesome way if you know what I mean. among the hundreds and hundreds of gigabyte filled with tv series, farscape really holds a special place on my hard drive. I think I will never ever again laugh as much as I did back when I watched all four seasons in a couple of weeks.

Fringe

Yeah, BSG is awesome. And if you liked Firefly, then give Cowboy Bebop a try. It's one of the best Anime shows ever made, and it's very simillar to Firefly.

Andromeda was shit but I fucking loved it. Most of the time it made no sense but hell it's fucking got hercules in space, IN SPACE.

Yeh, Season 2 is pretty bad, although the episode 'Crackers Don't Matter' always makes me lawl.

Jericho sucks and is barely sci fi. Quantum Leap i don't even classify as sci-fi.

LEXX! >>>>>>> Everything else

The state of Sci-fi has degenerated into pure garbage. There are people in this world that consider shit like Star Wars sci-fi.

Guess what? It's NOT! Nothing more than a glorified western in space. If you want REAL sci-fi, read a book.

Care to recommend one good scifi book?

>>1846042
Starship troopers , its nothing like the film. Absolutely perfect bit of literature

>>1845978

I agree with that, but the nerd in me wants to rage a little because Bebop came first; so Firefly is similar to Bebop, not the other way around. That's just me being a pedantic nerd, though.

Cowboy Bebop has the rare quality of not being generic Weeaboo bullshit. So even if you hate anime, you should still consider giving Bebop a chance, since it has none of the cliches of regular anime.

Also: Nobody mentioned Blade Runner.

>>1846042

Any Heinlein, Ender series (somewhat childish, but still awesome), Dune, Dawn of the New Sun (a story set far, far into the future as our sun is dying) to name a few.

>>1846065
Does it have alot of military stategy and stuff in it? I just finished a book on politics and I don't want to jump into another.

>>1846065
Nobody mentioned the Blade Runner movie because shitsux.

>>1846071
>Nobody mentioned the Blade Runner movie because shitsux.

0/10

>>1846070
It's a book OF politics not one ON politics, if that makes sense. If you want something in the similar vein (an engaging story that is really just a discussion on some kind of social thought) try Stranger In A Strange Land - it's Starship Troopers for religion.

>>1846042
I can compile a list of 40+ titles if you want but for starters...

Anything by Frank Herbert (besides Dune). I like "Destionation: Void" and the follow-ups "The Jesus Incident" and "The Lazarous Effect.

Also, "The Whipping Star" and "The Dosadi Experiment."

"The Heaven Makers" is fun. I can throw some hardcore shit at you if you want by other authors.

Frank Herbert is s good start if you're not used to reading books with 500+ pages.

Plus, read "Ender's Game," it's bad-ass. Also, "Stranger in a Strange Land."

This is my second time taking a recommendation from /tv/. I'm gonna get Stranger in a Strange Land and I hope you don't disappoint me again.

>>1846028
The best scifi shows ARE westerns in space (like Firefly)

>>1846099
Don't even try to compare Star Wars (convolted, over-hyped piece of shit) with Firefly (a very decent SCI-FI show).

>>1846110
I wasn't, you were when you called star wars a western in space (which it's not).

>>1846099

yeah true i just dont like the fucking military sci fi view , freelancer scifis are the best. Shot if you want to shot ask questions later. No fucking Can we do this Sir - No wait for my Orders - Wait, Wait ok Now - Yeah Win, touch my hardened penis aahhhr G A Y

>>1846028
Please understand the diffrence between genre and sub-genre.

Firefly sucks, westerns suck, you suck too.

>>1846110
The first two movies were very good. The third movie was where the rape began. The prequels are dog poop. POOP!

>>1846144
0/10

At least try next time.

Pretty much anything by the big three in sci-fi literature rocks. Isaac Asimov, Robert Heinlein and Arthur C. Clark... though I have the most experience with Asimov and I loved it all.

>>1846113
Actually Star Wars is a glorified western. Go read what Gene Roddenberry had to say about it, as well as his own Star Trek.

They aired a sci-fi special on TLC a few years back where many modern day sci-fi writers and experts pointed out the difference between REAL SCI-FI and stories/film that simply use SCI-FI as a backdrop or plot device. Damn Noob.

Go educate yourself.

btw watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jV1bRfLHA3A funny mix of SciFi Western and Martial Arts in a music video, lost a tear watching it the first time

Jericho isn't sci fi. But it was an awesome show.[well, perhaps not the first few eps of season 1 save the pilot, but after about 8/9 it became brilliant].

Nobody said Space Cases?

It starred the the mechanic from Firefly, the Black Ranger from Power Rangers, and Elizabeth Webber from General Hospital, ALL IN THE SAME FUCKING SHOW!! There's also a few guest appearances by George Takei and Mark Hamill.

Pic is the mechanic from Serenity when she was on Space Cases. In b4 Holy Shit.

does that show about those australian astrophysicists count

>>1846266

WTF she looks just like that slut from Lazytown!

>>1846266
I do remember this show.

>>1846266
I fucking loved this show when I was a kid, but I can barely remember anything from it (I was pretty young).
Jewel Staite = my first TV crush. First Catalina in Space Cases, then Becca in Flash Forward? What a fantastic first boner that was.

>>1846266

What did Hamill do on the show?

ctrl + f - x-files

WHAT

X-Files is my favorite. The later seasons are kinda UGH.. but still better than a lot of sci-fi. Also <3 SG1 because of Daniel, lol.

>>1845922
Those all suck. Use better examples.

The reason there are very few "good" sci-fi series has been skirted around this entire thread.

The reason is the target demographic of sci-fi will watch and obsess over complete garbage. The prime culprit being stargate.

Why is there not a lot of good sci-fi? Because of you.

battlestar is the best if you're looking for a dark, alienless, people drama.

i guarantee you that watching this show through the entire series will make you shit your pants. that being said, bsg is not some show you can just "pick up" like house. it's extremely plot driven especially throughout seasons 1 and 2. season 3 is where they faltered due to production/executive fuck ups but it got better once season 4 came on

here's hoping for a great last 10 episodes in january (or maybe april if sci-fi is gay)

>>1846449
Naw, it's simply Sturgeon's Law in action.
Sturgeon even originally claimed that 90% of everything is crap in defense of science fiction.

>>1846449
I would say that the reason there's no good sci-fi is more that the majority of the viewing public has an IQ of 80 or so.

>>1846470
Only blacks have an average IQ of around 80. Humans (Whites, Asians) are around 100-110.

>>1846470

i think it's safe to say that sci-fi is made for people with brains.

Titan AE is good.
Starship Troopers is excellent.
Terminator 3 is also awesome.
Event horizon was pretty cool.
Sunshine was a nice movie in HD.
Speed Racer was the movie of the decade.
Solaris was pretty cool.
Oh and the fifth element.
There are really too many to list.

Fantasy and Sci-fi are effectively interchangeable. The problem about sci-fi. Is that most people who like it are (a tiny minority of the general populace) and they usually don't know shit about science anyways.

Skip anything anime. With the only exclusion being DBZ related. I loved the movies.

are there any good "westerns in space" like firefly?
