Which is the best SciFi series ever?

[tarey_g]

Star wars .... good but not gr8 . But te spl effects are cool

For me, Star Trek wins hands down. The reason is realism and agelessness. Very little of the science and technology portrayed by even the earliest Star Trek series (1960s) has become outdated. Even the shape of USS Enterprise is ageless.

Others may have reasons for choosing other series. For instance, the Star Wars movies are hugely entertaining, and if you choose them for that reason, fine. I accept that.

However, for those who like realism, there were many flaws in Star Wars even when the first movie was made. People carrying heavy loads by hand in an age when they could flit from star to star at will. Light sabres that can do no more than a samurai sword. Energy-bolt handguns that are no more effective than a .45 pistol. The list goes on and on.

Off-topic here, but among non-series sci-fi, Close Encounters of the Third Kind is one of my top favourites.

totally agree. Actually most of the technology we use everyday has been inspired by Star Trek(the original one not the later crap). clam shell cell phones is 1 example.
even Discovery channel had broadcast the show 'How Star Trek changed the World' some time back.
Star Wars is also great (4,5,6). Then there is Blade Runner, Matrix etc.

In books i would definitely say Ender`s Game.

Star Trek is the most creative. Star Wars is more entertaining! I was laughing my head off at many parts, and I love the whole "come over to the dark side, we have cookies" thing (And forgotten Master Yoda shall be not)

The Matrix is another favorite of mine. Hey, and how about Ghost in the Shell? Its another classic, although its animated.

 

[Pathik]

How about Final Fantasy..

 

[~Lil JinX~]

Oooh yeah, that too I'm a sucker for animated fun.

Star Trek television series was very good and in movies Star Wars is unbeatable. By the way can anyone give me the details about the Star Wars movie? The first three movies I think released in 80's later they were digitally mastered and released in the late 90's and just recently we had the trilogy called revenge of sith etc.. I heard the ones that release recently or last were the prequels to the one that was released in 80's. Can anyone give me a brief synopsis or how the sequence goes?

Firefly !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Take my love, take my land
Take me where I cannot stand
I don't care, I'm still free
You can't take the sky from me .

best ever

sorry for bumping this old thread... but after watching Firefly (downloaded complete series ), i just couldn't resist myself. such an amazing serial... goddamn why the sci-fi channel dint continue the series?... i *figured* that there is no hope for the series to return.. such a pity. who haven't heard about this awesome series, check out the wikipedia article on it; and if you have a bb connection, you know what to do

...
There's no place I can be
Since I found Serenity
...

oh yes... "The 4400" as good as well, no where near to Firefly!

and among current series, my vote goes to Kyle XY, though its off-air currently. those who follow Kyle XY, get ready for a dramatic turn in the second half of Season 2 (yeah, they showed only half of Season 2 till now, i guess they will show the second half when Season 3 goes on-air in the US).
