Out of Pod Experience

Holy Crap, I can't believe I forgot about Eureka. So pissed they are only do one more season. Sy-Fy is making a pretty bad mistake.

I could never get into SeaQuest. I always found it boring but maybe I will give it another try.

Taken was good one also. Remember watching it when it came out and thought the whole Roswell connection was pretty good.

Heroes was good up till the 3rd season after that it really was kind of being drawn out. IMHO, it would of done better as a miniseries and them ending it with the first season.

Fringe: Genius scientist turned psych patient is released into the custody of his son and an FBI agent in order to investigate strange occurrences that are considered "fringe science." Add in a parallel universe, shape shifters, and some other stuff later and you get what is probably the most unique sci fi I've seen in a long time. Peter Bishop is a little too good to be true (handsome grown-up boy genius who can do anything AND charm the ladies) but other than his character being over the top, it's very well-written.

The 4400 wasn't as much my type of show. I watched it for a while and burned out. Some people really loved it and I did see the merit in it, but I felt like it was dragging and just got distracted by other shows. In any case, it's about 4400 people who disappeared from various points in the 20th century all reappearing at the same time. They were "abducted" and had various improvements made to them in order to effect change in society. Some came back smarter, some stronger, et cetera. Of course they didn't know about their new abilities, but gradually discovered them.

Despite being animated, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex and 2nd Gig are pretty damn good scifi series. Even if you don't like anime, give this one a try, it's very grownup and rather complex, you may need more than one watch to get all the references and nuances.

It plays in 2029, in a futuristic Japan. The series revolves around a squad of the most elite law enforcers in the country, tackling some very high profile cases. There's a main case threaded throughout both seasons which can get incredibly complex - One of the early episodes in season 1 is almost only dialogue, but it's still pretty fantastic imho.

The rest has already been mentioned i think :)

Ghost in the Shell is a Mind****, although i could never get into Stand Alone Complex. Something with the animation bothered me but I'll probably give it another chance.

Firefly was an awesome show which I believed never got a chance to develop into one of the best sci fi shows ever.
Babylon 5 was very good and although the last serious was a bit flat, the genral plot through all five series was well written.
Red Dwarf was a classic in the 90s and I never missed an episode, although I cant watch reruns as I find it to tired.

My favourite though has to be Doctor Who. A great show that clings to its retro past whilst always having a more modern feel in its plots. Daleks and Cybermen although villans dreamed up in the 1960s are still great today, whilst the newer villans such as "The Silence" and "The Weeping Angels" are just great conepts. In fact I think the episode which first introduced The Weeping Angels, "Blink" is one of the best sci fi episodes of all time.

I gotta say, I think The Silence are one of the creepiest/coolest aliens ever.

THEY COULD BE RIGHT HERE!

Doctor Who has been my favorite for the last couple years - too bad David Tennant didn't stay in the show longer, he was the best Doctor so far. As have been mentioned, Blink episode is excellent - you should show it to little kids in completely dark living room (warning though: they probably don't want to sleep alone or in dark bedrooms after that... )

Other series I've enjoyed over the years have been Farscape, Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars (this is just epic!), Stargate series, Torchwood (Doctor Who spin off), Eureka, Warehouse 13, Fringe, Sanctuary, Andromeda, Primeval, Earth: Final Conflict... can't remember all of them.

From anime scifi series Heroic Age has huge space battles and nice story. Another fun anime series is Lost Universe.

I've tried to watch 4400, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, V 2009, Galactica, Dollhouse, Bionic Woman etc. but I couldn't stand watching them more than couple episodes. Maybe some others like them...

Now I've waiting Defiance tv-series and mmorpg - this one sounds interesting as the events from tv-series reflect into the game and what players do in the game reflects to the tv-series. And I thought how Goons could mess this up royally .

I think they're also releasing this year Star Trek: TNG in bluray format with new enhanced CGI so I guess I'll have to get those and watch the whole series again. If they did the same for Babylon 5, I'd buy it immediately.

Colonel O'Neil, what the hell are you doing?!?

i gave the people who mentioned blake 7 a like

i remember that as a kid i absolutely loved it

space abive and beyond
i never understood why they stopped it just when it was getting very interesting

first season and first only of dark angel

Huge Babylon 5 fan here and still wonder why this was the only series where someone cared to think about the epic ark before they went into production. I mean you really see that stuff that happens from episode 1 is connected to the main plot over the whole series. You may not understand everything at first, but it all fits together.

Almost every series i know was mentioned here, the only thing that wasn't if i'm not mistaken is Space Rangers. Got only 6 episodes, one of the pioneers in CGI if i remember correctly. With a very nice asymmetrical ship called "Tin Lizzie"
