OT: Contempory Best SciFi Series Ever

[tesco samoa]

T.Zone is my all time Fav.

Then Dr. Who

Then DS9

Then the survival series ( I liked the one that came out of Britan where the people froze in a train for 20 years )

Then TOS

Then Bab5 , and the rest of the star trek series...

I think Sci-Fi should stop beating the same stories over and over and over....

Very rarely does a show surprise me. I know you cannot kill off characters as it is rather pointless to have a show with no reoccuring characters. But why does it always have to end with the good guys being good and winning. It is such a simplistic take on the conflict resoultion story structure we all love and enjoy. But it needs to expand. Become more complex if Sci-Fi is to grow up.

I tried Adromminina ( worst spelling ever ) , Firefly and a few other of the current sci-fi and I found them to be the same old stories just retold with worse actors.

Not worth the investment of my time.

I look at the shows I watch now that are on tv.

Deadwood, The Office, 6 feet under, The Wire, Carnivale, Dead like me, Sopranos and entrogue.

They are well written with interesting characters who are just surviving with what is in front of them

Flawed characters who are neither good nor bad or with a lack of morality.

It is interesting and refreshing. Perhaps Sci-Fi needs to be reinvented because it has become stale and boring.

Now with all that ripping apart of sci-fi I will say that one of the best movies I ever saw was the BAB5 movie the beginning

With the story of the war with Earth and Mimbari. That was fantastic. With misunderstandings and a surprise ending. Good story.
