OT Farscape Best Scifi Series Ever?

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.

I kill you all in the name of his Divine Shadow!!!

The original series opener/pilot/movie/whatever was briliant. The whole story arc with His Divine Shadow had me rivited. I can't tell you how disappointed I was when it degenerated into a soft-core porn/comedy mish-mash. It had the potential to be something really epic. I still watch when I can. I managed to catch most of the Prince story arc and that came close to regaining some of what they had in the beginning. Haven't seen it in a while though.

B5 to me didn't have very good acting. It was a good show. Just poorly acted. I think Farscape did a little bit, not much mind you, but a little bit better.

I disagree. I think the acting in FS was spot on.

There were some dodgy bits (especially in the first series) but as the story progressed and the actors got comfortable in their characters I found most of it good. In particular I thought Londo, G'Kar, Vir, Ivonova and Garibaldi really brought the show to life.
