[QUOTE]Originally posted by Balaam Xumucane: [QB] WizArtist, the Timecube� has you... Uh, so back to topic before we there's any more moronic newbie-abuse: [i]Star Trek: TOS[/i] is the winnar and gets teh powwarup. What was there before it? I don't know. There's likely a reason for that. The idea that anyone could realistically make this series is plainly insane, yet somehow got on the air and stayed there for three fertile seasons. Although it was campy and sometimes downright ridiculous, it pioneered episodic (hard) science-fiction television. By today's standard the production values look preposterous and the costumes silly, but so much of the writing was so good, and so provocative that it earns the top place in my ranking. I'm of the opinion that today's writers have at least as much to learn from TOS writers as the production and FX guys for TOS would have from the production and FX people from today. Of late? [i]Firefly[/i] is the show to beat these days. The more you watch, the more you appreciate just how good it really was. Unfortunately this also has the effect of making you realize just how bad many of its contemporaries are. Great characters, great dialogue, interesting and exciting stories with big and little arc development and, hey, gunplay! Too bad FOX has gotten so good at finding/developing new properties and then completely undercutting them and destroying them. Seriously, it could be, like, a part of their business plan. [i]Farscape[/i] was starting to be really good, and then started to be bad. Really bad. I almost wrote some spoilers, but suffice it to say, I feel like maybe people ought to watch the first two seasons. I caught a couple of episodes of [i]SG-1[/i]. It wasn't too bad really. Which isn't a compliment is it? Hrmm. Well, [i]Enterprise[/i] is far worse. No, that's still not a compliment. Ummm. Nice production value. I'm sorry, it's just that as much as I like "RICHARD DEAN ANDERSON", he's playing the same character he played in McGyver only less resourceful, more violent and older. O'Neill is fun to watch for a while, but not the way Picard was fun to watch, and certainly not the way Kirk or Malcom Reynolds([i]FF[/i]) is fun to watch. John Pertwee is my favorite [i]Doctor Who[/i]. [/QB][/QUOTE]
