Best SCI-FI tv shows

[rockabilly]

Hey VL, you should check out Firefly and it's movie continuation Serenity. And " Starbuck " is rumored to be cast as Typhoid Mary! ( if your not a comic geek google her ) But the bigger question is will she be in the Deadpool movie or the Daredevil reboot. The new Daredevil movie will be more grim and dark ( kinda a Batman Begins reboot ) And Greatest American Hero ... well he did get the suit from aliens but lost the instructions lol .

OH THE PAIN, Another Daredevil movie? please say it ain't so as the first one was just bad and unwatchable and Deadpool? well i don't think that will be good these two movies sound bad almost as bad as the rumor of Will Smith being cast as CAPT AMERICA OH THE PAIN Jennifer

Jen wouldn't you agree that Daredevil is a cool character? I think if they made it much darker in tone and more character driven and R rated the new movie would be an improvement. Oh and i left off another great show
Voyagers
No not Star Trek Voyagers... About a young boy and a time travelling adventurer who explore historical events , and time travel w/ The Omni? A pocket watch/ compass time machine.

Daredevil is to me a second rate BATMAN and was only good when an unknown at the time writer named FRANK MILLER issues #158 thru #191 wrote the book. So if you get him to write the script then there might be hope. And Voyager was a cool series that is almost lost to time meaning pretty much forgotten about i even forgot about it as it aired around the same time as SUPERBOY,and Swampthing two other good shows Jennifer

but I thought they would be fun to bring up! :D

From the 1960's:
1. "Gigantor" animated cartoon in black and white...pretty cool concept,(kid has his own giant flying robot!) and it probably helped influence a generation somewhat...
2. "The Jetsons" futuristic, lots of cool ideas...

From the 1970's:
(:D Transgen, you seem to appreciate the 70's...how about these "gems" of science-fiction? )

3. "Ark II" futuristic saturday morning show set on earth in the (post-apocalyse world?). Driving around the deserts in a big land yacht (with a talking chimp! )searching for life or at least a Twinkie factory.
4. "The Space Giants" this was a Japanese import.!!..used to come on cable back in the 70's after school. It was cool, a family of robotic space giants living/hiding out on earth, but always having to battle some space monster!
(I think it was similar to "Ultraman", but I never saw that one)

From the 1980's:
5. "Max Headroom" - kind of a science-fictiony-virtual reality show....
:D:D
Some pics for yer enjoyment!!

:D:D

True i have a fondness for sci-fi from the 60s and 70s but i always hated Space Giants with the annoying kid and his whisle blows it once and he get the kid robot blows it twice and he gets Sulvar the mommy robot and three blows he gets Golddar sorry never liked it i always liked ULTRA-MAN and Johnny Sokko better. As far as sci-fi cartoons go how about ASTRO-BOY, STAR BLAZERS and BATTLE OF THE PLANETS 'transmute' Princess

Everyone has mentioned the best shows out there.
Firefly was a gem that should have continued.
I loved Farscape, but I lost interest after a while.
Seems like the writers just get too far into the zone and the shows seem kinda inbred after the first or second season.
I love Terminator, Sarah Conner, but same criticism applies.

No one mentioned Smallville

Hi there.

If i remember correctly, the series ended when one of the main characters the one with the "watch" died.

Voyagers wrapped everything up w/ their series finale , the boy Jefferey was always destined to become a "voyager" and Phineas Bogg was meant to be his mentor.
He was filming a cop show and being bored and exhausted he goofed around w/ a prop gun loaded w/ blanks. He put it to his head and pulled the trigger ... the blank shattered his temple and sent bone shards into his brain ... he was pronounced brain dead and his organs were harvested. Sad thing , great actor , handsome and he was only 27 i think.
