Default Re: OT Farscape Best Scifi Series Ever?

I saw the word 'ever' and I wanted to bring up Space 1999 and Star Trek Original series.

I like FarScape but sometimes I cant handle some of the hard to believe, even if scifi, tangents it goes out on. Would I call FarScape the best "hardcore" scifi...no.
Babylon 5 was great. To bad it is gone.
I watch Stargate and I like it. I kinda get upset when they go off on tangents to the main plot of the Gou'ald (hope spelled correct). Like X-Files...we want to know about the alien plot and then there is this episode of a liver eating maniac...did the aliens put him on our planet? Suckin us in they are.

What would you consider the best SciFi game ever?

But....wasnt this question asked in another post. I think I remember...

i liked bab5 but the acting was not very good.

And then their was the build up build up... Sugar were outta money... Silly ending...

If you could combine Bab5 with the acting from DS9 and take the best script writers from both you would have a good show.

I really enjoyed the X Files...

Whether or not Farscape is (was) the best ever, I don't care, I enjoyed it and am saddened to see it go. For me it's like reading a good book and that sense of loss when it's done.

Thunderbirds!

It was sci-fi. They had laserpistols and rocketplanes

I like Bab 5 and Farscape both. Both were well acted and well written. I thought Farscape did drift a little in the middle, but a few episodes of Bab 5 did that too.

One SF series that I liked initally was Sliders.
Great premise and the first season was innovative and well acted. Unfortunately, the series went seriously downhill thereafter. My guess is it just became a cash cow and was left to rot to death! Rhys Davies knew when to bail...

I think we can pretty much agree, that atleast Farscape had the best acting of any Scifi series. Who knows what kind of bad *** story lines we will miss because of Sci-Lie. Again I personally couldn't stand the cheesy acting of B5 or the entire race of Napolean look-alikes, but maybe I'm retarded. Well, I'll enjoy the Last ep and pray that someone picks the show up.

The acting in Farscape was not that great.
