[QUOTE="wingsandsword, post: 2183975, member: 14159"] [b]Best:[/b] [i]Babylon 5 [/i]- The best TV Sci-Fi ever. Everyone else can learn from this one. [i]Star Trek: Deep Space Nine [/i]- Trek's Finest Hour [i]Sliders (First Season Only) [/i]- A great "Alternate Worlds" series, the best treatment of that concept I've seen. Started out wonderful but started to drop like a rock later on. [i](New) Battlestar Galactica [/i]- I've loved every episode. It might have anachronistic bits, but it thrives on it's internal consistency, realism of it's characters and the implied mythology of the entire setting. [i]X-Files[/i] - Conspiracy Sci-Fi at it's best. Spawned an entire genre of imitators, but it was the best. The only thing that could have made it better is if the writers actually knew what the "big secret" was instead of making it up as they went along. [i]Honorable Mention:[/i] SeaQuest DSV (First Season Only), V, Original Battlestar Galactica, [b]Worst:[/b] [i]Star Trek: Voyager [/i]- Star Trek without the intelligently written scripts, internal consistency, or even vague plausibility. This is the series which gave us the episode "Threshold" (a.k.a. "Transwarp Frogs in Space!"). [i]Galactica: 1980 - [/i]A vaguely decent premise, which was trashed right out of the gate.
