My sci-fi TV shows

[elarbee]

Funchal is doing a thing with TV shows, but I keep forgetting to add ones I like because she's doing it alphabetically. She called me the queen of sci-fi, and I've just found a relatively exhaustive list of sci-fi shows and I'll just list the ones I've watched below,

So where were you with this list when I had a movie call? :p
My husband's been recommending Dark Matter to me but for some reason I find it a bit too, umm, картинно? Though I did think the same of Farscape until I actually watched it and got sucked in. I'll give it a shot once I'm done with the current show I'm watching.
Have you seen the Star Gate shows?

What's a movie call?

Dark Matter, I thought, had an interesting concept - reminded me of Ark. Lots of these shows are eye candy with mediocre acting, but the concept sucks me in. And my bar for science fiction is a lot lower than for other genres.

Star Gate is one of the two biggies that are missing from my list (the other being Doctor Who). I saw and liked the movie, but the show felt inferior enough, and then it just went off the deep end. Most movies remade for TV are not good, some are so bad you haven't even heard of them, like the Starship Troopers and such. People say that the Terminator show was good, but I wasn't impressed.

I have a high bar for anything movie/show-related. Acting especially gets me.

I wasn't as impressed with SG-1 but SG-Atlantis was better I thought. SG-Universe was somewhere in between but they stopped after the 1st season. They do, however, have a lot more movies than just one.

I see. I must have missed that one.

I have a sort of a high bar, we have a very limited amount of TV time, so we have to be selective. Much of the lower quality stuff was watched before we had kids.

I'm talking about the theatrical Star Gate movie.

Первые четыре сериала из твоего списка любимых - мой муж просто обожает :)
Я смотрела пока только два

[elarbee]

Which ones have you seen?

[mar_go202]

Firefly and futurama :)
Баттлстар и Стартрек смотрела отрывками, планируем подряд посмотреть скоро.

Most of Star Trek is non-arc, so you don't necessarily have to watch it all in order. Battlestar, though, works better in order.

Wow! You ARE a the queen) I am impressed)
I watched Under the Dome and TerraNova -will discuss later. Firefly - discussed already, love them all!
Star Trek - only watched one full movie, with Zachary Quinto as Spok. Liked it.

It's because I'm a total nerd! And have been for my entire life - I was reading Strugatskie, Lem and Belyaev at 8.

The new Star Trek is fun, but it's not the same thing as the TV series. Especially in the Next Generation and Deep Space 9 they explore a lot of social themes and have great drama.

Oh! Black Mirror is very good! Not a space-planets though

[elarbee]

Looks interesting! If we ever have an opening in our schedule, we'll check it out. Sounds a bit like the Outer Limits.

ой!!!! а где же Доктор????

[elarbee]

I was waiting for someone to ask! I like the Doctor and all, but we just don't have the time to power through all the seasons, even if we start with the new iteration. Maybe one day, when the kids grow up and we have more TV time...

[melkij_becc]

а что там смотреть то???? не так уж и много! один сезон девятого доктора, по 3 десятого и одиннадцатого. и двенадцатого сколько? 2 или 3 сезона.

[elarbee]

At 1 hour of TV per night, we'd have to give up everything else we're watching! I know it might be an equitable trade for many, but for us, it might have to wait until the kids get older! (Or better yet, move out.)
