Which is the best SciFi series ever?
Filed under: mercebank.com
  • Dear All,

    Please let me know which is the best SciFi series

    1. Star Trek - all of them
    2. Star Wars
    3. Battle Star Gallatica

    Please name if you have any other things.


  • Oh yes, I forgot Heroes. Great stuff, that.


  • I haven't seen much of star trek, so I'll have to say Star Wars.


  • Star Wars is t3h funniest :mrgreen:


  • hey how bout the 4400


  • For me, Star Trek wins hands down. The reason is realism and agelessness. Very little of the science and technology portrayed by even the earliest Star Trek series (1960s) has become outdated. Even the shape of USS Enterprise is ageless.

    Others may have reasons for choosing other series. For instance, the Star Wars movies are hugely entertaining, and if you choose them for that reason, fine. I accept that.

    However, for those who like realism, there were many flaws in Star Wars even when the first movie was made. People carrying heavy loads by hand in an age when they could flit from star to star at will. Light sabres that can do no more than a samurai sword. Energy-bolt handguns that are no more effective than a .45 pistol. The list goes on and on.

    Off-topic here, but among non-series sci-fi, Close Encounters of the Third Kind is one of my top favourites.

    ^^
    totally agree. Actually most of the technology we use everyday has been inspired by Star Trek(the original one not the later crap). clam shell cell phones is 1 example.
    even Discovery channel had broadcast the show 'How Star Trek changed the World' some time back.
    Star Wars is also great (4,5,6). Then there is Blade Runner, Matrix etc.

    In books i would definitely say Ender`s Game.


  • Heros


  • Guys come on...this is useless to debate..

    STAR TREK
    was..is and will be the greatest SciFi series ever.

    Star Trek: The original Series
    Star Trek: The Next Generations
    Star Trek: Deep Space 9
    Star Trek: Voyager
    Star Trek: Enterprise

    what else do u want...


  • The Matrix. Cos I m downloading the HD rip these days.


  • STAR WARS......

    I readed all the comics and novels....
    Anakin Skywalker Rulez....


  • M-a-t-r-i-x


  • Heroes and Kyle XY.


  • Firefly !!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Take my love, take my land
    Take me where I cannot stand
    I don't care, I'm still free
    You can't take the sky from me .

    best ever

    sorry for bumping this old thread... but after watching Firefly (downloaded complete series :D), i just couldn't resist myself. such an amazing serial... goddamn why the sci-fi channel dint continue the series?... i *figured* that there is no hope for the series to return.. such a pity. who haven't heard about this awesome series, check out the wikipedia article on it; and if you have a bb connection, you know what to do ;)

    ...
    There's no place I can be
    Since I found Serenity
    ...

    oh yes... "The 4400" as good as well, no where near to Firefly!

    and among current series, my vote goes to Kyle XY, though its off-air currently. those who follow Kyle XY, get ready for a dramatic turn in the second half of Season 2 (yeah, they showed only half of Season 2 till now, i guess they will show the second half when Season 3 goes on-air in the US).


  • Heroes any time will be m fav SCI FI series:D........Just can't wait till september when the show resumes.


  • Movies only?? I'd have to say Star Trek, if only because the series was way more creative than gay-ass Star Wars..."OMG! He's got a lightsaber! That is so cool...OH NOES! NOW ITS TWO!! WOW...Lucas is 'leet!!" I find very annoying.

    However, with star trek, I dont like the movies...Star Trek's original TV series was waaaay better as far as Science Fiction is concerned. It certainly defined the genre...


  • hmm ... finally getting into sci fi and see that most of you have not seen star trek, just to start the only word in the dictionary that means you are star trek fan is trekkie.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trekkie


  • Matrix


  • krish or koi mil gaya neone???:p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p
    in my opinion the best scifi has to be matrix series(movie) and hitchhiker guide to the galaxy(books):cool:

    Are there any books, All i found is a movie released in 2005.


  • http://marketing.blogs.ie.edu/archives/Star%20wars%202.jpg

    Ive seen each movie 3 times!!!!:D
    ie: 6*3=18 veiws

    Rule, the star wars seires, does.
    -master yoga ;)


  • stalker (1972)


  • How about Final Fantasy..


  • Star Trek is the most creative. Star Wars is more entertaining! I was laughing my head off at many parts, and I love the whole "come over to the dark side, we have cookies" thing :P (And forgotten Master Yoda shall be not)

    The Matrix is another favorite of mine. Hey, and how about Ghost in the Shell? Its another classic, although its animated.

  • tremors


  • ^1
    Nothing Beats matrix. Its the height of imagination.


  • Chaha Chaudhry:D

    Matrix for me!


  • Hackers


    it is not fiction though


  • Matrix


  • Hero's and x files
    and
    simpsons .....lol......


  • Is X-Files considered to be SciFi ?? :p


  • Anakin Skywalker Rulez....
    Why? I hate Anakin. watch revenge of the sith.

    Btw STAR WARS for me too. I watched all six movies in 2 days a few days back. Previously i had watched only 1 completely and bits of others.

    Two things i want to mention:
    1> i thought special effects in ep 4, 5, 6 would suck. but i was impressed by what i saw. It could easily be passed of as a late 1990s movie.

    2> though luke, leia, hans were all of the later generation, the technology they used was far lesser than that of anakin, obi wan kenobi, yoda, etc. Which was amusing to watch.:p


  • The Matrix Series :D


  • hmm Lost isnt science fiction..


  • Matrix forever

    i also liked Equilibrium movie


  • The Thread stats Series so mine are,
    Heroes,
    X-Files.


  • star trek is great, but come on... everything has a happy-end, its too utopic, maybe DS9 is little different darker than the others, but its too old. the characters are non-realistic as in all star trek series.


    wht r u saying...star trek was the beginning of every sci-fi...all sci-fi movies/series r inspired frm star trek...star trek brought abt lots of inventions like cell phones n a lot many thing...


  • losttt..


  • Star Trek television series was very good and in movies Star Wars is unbeatable. By the way can anyone give me the details about the Star Wars movie? The first three movies I think released in 80's later they were digitally mastered and released in the late 90's and just recently we had the trilogy called revenge of sith etc.. I heard the ones that release recently or last were the prequels to the one that was released in 80's. Can anyone give me a brief synopsis or how the sequence goes?


  • Oooh yeah, that too :P I'm a sucker for animated fun.


  • Heroes and Star Wars :D


  • The Matrix Trilogy FTW. If we are talking novels, I second Isaac Asimov


  • For me, "The Foundations" Series by Isaac Asimov is the best sci-fi series i've read.

    As for sci-fi movies,i like "The Prestige"(sci-fi fantasy) "Man from Earth","Matrix","Serenity" in that order.

    TV Series: None
    Liked 4400 1st 2 seasons & Heroes 1st season,then it became sort of boring.Have just started seeing "Firefly".


  • the best sci-fi is definitely battlestar galactica, if you think anything else, you watch it again! it has best effects, best story, best music (!), best characters, best dialogues... its just the best series ever made. It's dark, violent, with politics, mysteries, myths. Almost nobody is 100% right, everything has two sides... you have to think when you watch. and when you see the 4x10 episode you will stay with your mouse open staring at the screen wishing for more and more and praying for them to launch the prequel Caprica as soon as possible

    star trek is great, but come on... everything has a happy-end, its too utopic, maybe DS9 is little different darker than the others, but its too old. the characters are non-realistic as in all star trek series.
    stargate... well, still in top 5, great effects, and characters, but it doesnt build up the mysteries, the secrets, and also it has also everytime a happy-end
    farscape - for children from 16 to 19
    babylon 5 - too old, but great


  • Battlestar Gallactica. Tricia Helfer is hot!


  • to tell the truth, Shaktimaan was promising but failed pathetically as it tried to introduce characters from X-Men with names changed!!


  • krish or koi mil gaya neone???:p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p
    in my opinion the best scifi has to be matrix series(movie) and hitchhiker guide to the galaxy(books):cool:


  • Is X-Files considered to be SciFi ?? :p
    well seeing as how everyone else is not staying with the three that were posted originall I will agree with Cheeta....


  • Star Wars Here!!


  • Heroes... XFiles.... tell me if anything's in that genre... I'll watch & tell :D


  • agreed. nothing beats matrix in a sci-fi movie series. but what about the tv series'?


  • Shaktiman?


  • Spider-Man Series hopefully will continue 4,5 & 6 with Sam Raimi Team and The Matrix Trilogy


  • I prefer the Foundation series by Isaac Askimov.


  • In movies 'Serenity' ,
    Star wars .... good but not gr8 . But te spl effects are cool


  • no one knows the 4400 its great


  • Firefly !!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Take my love, take my land
    Take me where I cannot stand
    I don't care, I'm still free
    You can't take the sky from me .

    best ever


  • I dont know the best but love story 2050 has to be among the worst..:D


  • The Matrix Trilogy - Best realism sci-fi done.


  • Firefly !!!!!!!!!!!!!


  • I've only followed LOST recently and would recommend it to anyone who cares to listen .
