Drubot Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 Howdy. I know there's a ton more great sci-fi shows out there, but i'm focusing more on those that primarily are set in space. I'm not too sure if Dr. Who is considered a space opera, but i gave it the benefit of the doubt due to its massive popularity. I'll come back to post my pick later.

Darque Edge Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 If it wasn't for two things (A - the almost twenty year break, and B - the lack of acceptance in America, partially because of the almost twenty year break), it would be Doctor Who in a WALK. It's the oldest Sci-Fi series still going. The concept is astonishingly simple (wise space/time traveller rights wrongs), and incredibly elaborate, without ever losing the audience. Each storyline is self-contained, and almost always easy to follow. By seeing it all from the point of view of the companions (in the better stories), it never leaves the audience too far behind. Astonishing, historical, often brilliant series. Star Trek comes close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 HEY! I just realized something. Quantum Leap isn't on here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Marv Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Neither is Farscape, which would have gotten my vote. Off that list, Futurama. Though admittedly, I haven't seen any of Doctor Who, Red Dwarf, ir Firefly, and not enough of Babylon 5 or Battlestar Galactica (either version) to properly judge it. So, null vote.

Drubot Posted March 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Actually, what i wanted to do was find the best sci fi show that's similar to Star Trek, i.e a space opera, than actually finding the best science fiction show. That's why i didn't put Quantum Leap on the list. Same goes with Seaquest. Farscape, i haven't seen it, (stupid, ignorant me!) so that's why i didn't put it down. Is there any way to edit the poll listings or would it be better just to lock the topic and start all over again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the case, Doctor Who is fine to be here - although it's not as obvious in the newest series one, space travel is a huge part of it. Although time travel is the most important part...so maybe it shouldn't be. I'd argue against Futurama being included, but I'd argue for Red Dwarf. From what you have there, if Doctor Who is excluded, I'd vote for Firefly, but I'd expect Babylon 5 to pick up the win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragernok2002 Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 I would go for Battlestar(current) but SG1 has being consistent through its nine seasons, and it produced one of my favourite episodes ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxPower Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 SG1, it offers everything I like in TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyre Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 While I haven't seen all of those shows, my current favorite is the new Battlestar Galactica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cash Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 I didn't miss it. SeaQuest went to space at one point, so I'm going to count that as "primarily" in my own little world of outrage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
