SciFi Top 50

[Sepiv]

Did Outer Limits rank and where? I dun have the time to scroll through :/

Twilight Zone, yes ... Outer Limits I believe, no.

...and the new BSG at #2? right after original Star Trek...that seems incredibly high...

Dude, have you been WATCHING the new BSG? I finally got around to watching the season 2 finale tonight and I was nearly punching my television the cliffhanger was so good.

And no, I haven't EVER punched my television. Computer monitor, yes. TV, no.

[X'an Shin]

I have to say that the top ten seemed fairly solid 'till I got to this:

Number 9
'Mystery Science Theater 3000'

Uh, no. I LOVED MST3K, but I have to say that if you're watching it for sci-fi, you're watching it FOR ALL THE WRONG REASONS. It's about spoofing pop culture, not about sci-fi.

Also, Sliders at #10? The hell? And XENA #11?!? WHO THE HELL VOTED THAT XENA WAS SCI-FI???!??! For the last time, fanboys, FANTASY =/= SCI-FI.

While we're on the topic, other things which are also not necessarily sci-fi:

Comic Books (Hello, Wonder Woman the tv show? Not Sci-fi).
Video Games
TV shows like LOST (who knows, it might be about sci-fi, but they really haven't let that cat out of the bag, now, have they?)
Westerns
D n D
Vampires
Any John Huges movie (and yes, I'm including Weird Science here, for reasons below)
Any sit-com. I don't care if there's "science-y" stuff in it, "My Favorite Martian" is NOT sci-fi. It's COMEDY. Nerds didn't tune in to that show to see cool lasers or battles or mind-bending ideas. They watched it to have a laugh. Please, for the love of god, get your genres straight.

For once, I'd love it if a list stayed true to its parameters.

I had goosebumps with that cliffhanger it was so good. Of course, we're seriously hooked into the characters' heads and their conflicts by now watching too. And the whole scene with Boomer just had me emotionally all over the place.

Europe no longer gets the BSG eps before the US does. I think that was just for the first season.

WHY!!!!!

I need my BSG fix.... That cliffhanger seriously has me wanting more.

One thing they need is more space combat in that show, just give us loads of it. Of course, with the arrival of the Pegasus we should be seeing more. (if you remember in the orig. the pegasus was presumed lost because it stayed behind to allow the fleet time to escape, then was found again giving them enough power to take the offensive.)

as for the list.... stuff like comedy really doesnt apply. Space Balls, mork and mindy, have no place on a Sci-Fi list.

I know how the cliffhanger ends in the first episode of season 3...

SEND THE PM NOW!!!!!!
do you know it for sure, or are you guessing from the old series? Is there death and carnage on a rediculous scale? A new Cylon Meatgrinder Ship???? THESE THINGS MUST BE ANSWERED!!!

[Sepiv]

I think the mystery Cylon ship is almost too obvious. It has to be a colony ship. They are tracking Galactica in case it does find this mystery planet Earth and then they plan to finish the job.

You're pretty close but not quite.

I've heard what the name of the Season 3 Premier ep is, and it pretty much says what that ship is.

PM me if you want to know.

P.S. It has something to do with Cylons. ;D
