Top 10 Favorite Science Fiction Series

[Atrocities]

I limited my response to tv series,

Top 10 Sci- Series that I liked which should have included books.

The Stainless Steel Rat (Old - original, new stuff was not that good)

Shadows of the Empire (One of the best Star wars books ever.)

Han Solo and the Lost Legacie (SP) This book inspired me tremendiously. I fell in love with such concepts as finding lost civilizations that were destroyed or forgotten through time but still held great secrets that could be used today.

(Some of Star Treks and B5's best episodes delt with this subject. Forbidden Planet set the standard though)


Has any one else noticed that Fiction sound a lot like (Forgive the language) Fake ****? Say really fast. My nephew sad this the other day when I said he should write Fiction after a lie he told me about something he had done. He looks up at me and says, "I can't right fake****." I sware that is what it sounded like. I about died laughing.

This reminds me of another thing he once said.
My newphews are twins, One of them said something smart to his mother, and she responded by saying he could keep his two cents. The other twin then replies by saying "If I had two cents, I would spend it."

That had to be one of the best lines ever.

My top ten sci-fi series?

Star Trek: ToS (well, the first 2 seasons anyway)
The Time Tunnel
6 Million Dollar Man
Star Trek: TNG
Babylon 5
The X-Files
Quantum Leap
Star Blazers (seasons 1 & 2, I haven't seen the others)
Battlestar Galactica
Buck Rogers (except for the Last season)

I'm sure there are others I've watched and enjoyed, but can't think of them now. And since I don't watch the Sci-Fi channel as much as I'd like to, I didn't include any of the shows that appear on there.

Nobody has mantioned Quark?

[Saber Cherry]

I guess I would have mentioned Brin's "Uplift" first trilogy and the Hitchhiker's Guide long trilogy, as well as Simmons's Hyperion duet, if I thought books were included. And Red Dwarf, if I had a good memory

[Thermodyne]

If books are included, then the Foundation series would have to be my number one pick.

And I thought I was the only one whoever saw that stupid show. I'm glad it died a quick death, but every time I watch DS9, I"m reminded of that show. Why did they name the Ferengi that?

Oh, 2 more favorite shows I had forgotten. They are Dr. Who and Red Dwarf, which IMO, is the funniest tv show ever made.

Well if we are doing books...

Anything by Niven, but mostly the Ringworld Quartet(IIRC, a new one is coming out soonish!)
The Ender Quartet
Foundation series
Anyuthing Asimov.

And although its not a series, I think it deserves mention as it is IMHO the greatest video game ever. Period. Final Fantasy VII. Rivaled only by the Marathon Trilogy and Halo. Thank you! Goodnight new york!
