Star Trek (TOS)
Twilight Zone (The original)
Babylon 5.
X-Files (before it sucked)

The four (or four of) greatest science fiction TV-shows ever.

How is it that people can actually place Star Trek Voyager higher on their lists than another series? I watched Voyager myself. But only because of my involuntary Star Trek reflex.

You must justify yourselves. What makes Voyager worth putting on a list of favorite sci fi shows?

yeah, I agree.....although I watch voyager every week :-P, the ony star trek show I think worse than it is enterprise (well, don't take this too seriously, as I've only seen one episode or enterprise ;-) )

captain "Jack"way has got to be the worst captain *ever* ;-)

1) Invader Zim
2) Lexx
3) Futurama
4) all the .Hack// series

I also enjoy:
Star Trek: TNG and Voyager about equally.
Babylon 5

In no paticular order, because that would be difficult:

Farscape
Roswell
TNG
DS9
Space Above and Beyond(They didn't have enough epsiodes and I think I
only saw half of them.)


The most recent enterprise was good. I do hope the 'temporal cold war' will be used to fix the continuity problems...

The best science fiction on TV --although I think it's technically classed as "fantasy" -- are George Bush's speaches.

outer limits certainly is good. Though the quality of the episodes seems to range from average to extraordinary depending on the story.

Firefly, easily the best sci-fi show of all time. After that would be Farscape or Stargate.

I'm hoping to introduce some of the Firefly ideas into VS :)

I loved Firefly. Still love it. But it isn't the best Sci-Fi show of all time

What about The Twilight Zone? Star Trek (TOS)? Babylon 5? The X-Files? I would call all of those pillars of science fiction TV... something, no matter how good it is, Firefly will probably never be.

It's hard to be a pillar when you're not running.

Twilight Zone I'd rate more as fantasy (though I realise that there's some who insist that there's no such thing as sci-fi, only fantasy). The X-Files was very good yeah. I guess I was thinking more about stuff-in-space :)

None of the Star Treks rate for me (except that I grew up with the original series and thought it was pretty cool then). Great avatar BTW :)

Babylon 5 - how could I forget the best space opera of all time? I wasn't so keen on other elements - mostly 'cos I thought some of the computer-generated stuff looked poxy :)

As far as interesting characters, and an actual believable setting goes, Firefly still wins. And no damn prosthetics :)
