Well, I thought I'd start this thread, because the other greatest sci-fi shows poll is being clogged with many saying DS9 or TNG, which we established in the fav trek series poll (funny how Ent won then ). So here we go, tell the people what you like besidestrek. BTW, I didnt put any mimiseries up there, so no Dune.

Personally, I'd go for.

1. New BG
2. Babylon 5
3. Farscape - I know many dont particulary like the show, but it has some of the best characters in any sci fi series IMO.
4. QL
5. The outer Limits
6. Andromeda
7. Firefly
8. X-Files - I remember watching these when I was growing up, and they were great, but if I watch one now, they suddenly seem not so great.
9. SG1 - I'll be honest, I've heard its a great show, and I'm sure it is, I just never gave it a chance. Plus I never really liked the movie very much (but I'll admit, I havent watched it since it was first realeased on video).

Though I don't think it is realy Science Fiction, I do think the X-files is the best series of that list. It may even surpass Star Trek..

I too did not vote for BSG(new) because of the blonde (Six)!


I personally like how the characters aren't perfect, they've all got
problems! You root for them to do the right thing, but you are
never sure that they will do it. In most Trek, once we all figured out
what was going on we were pretty sure that the characters would
do the right thing. When they didn't (Pale Moonlight, etc.), it was
really moving. Moore and Co. have taken that and multiplied it
for every character!

I really hope it gets sent overseas later on, it is really worth it!

I would say Star Wars but then again, it's not on the list Maybe some prejudice there?And I don't want any of the uber trekkies trying to eat me alive

So I'll say:
1. Andromeda
2. New BSG (but I've only seen one episode)
3. Firefly (Serenity looks awesome )

the Title is "Best Sci-fi series..." not Best Sci-fi "live action tv series"

But nm it I take it back I should have never opened that Pandora's Box
