A.B Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 Mine would be star wars as a franchise, Babylon 5, and Stargate amongst many Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach Caldwell Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 Star Trek (every version minus the JJ version), Babylon 5, Stargate SG-1, SeaQuest, the original Battlestar Galatica to name a few. A.B 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.B Posted September 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 Oh ya! Love the (new) Battlestar Galactica series! Caprica 3 is just so...so...yum! D: jj version? and SeaQuest...so nice pity they canceled it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach Caldwell Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 JJ version is referring to the JJ Abrams movies. Star Trek and Star Trek Into Darkness. Good movies, the only reason I can say that is because they are established as an alternate universe. If his movies had been done in what is considered the prime universe, talk about one anger and upset puppy I would of been. A.B 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.B Posted September 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 haha okay, yeah original Spock does say in the first movie that the moment they altered the timeline and thus created a new universe when he meets new Spock in the movie. Dunno, I liked the new movies, I tired once to see the original series and ...well...never again!! saw a season of the one that the actor that also plays Xavier from x-men plays, new generation I think? but didn't have the motivation for more than one season... oh well..

Zach Caldwell Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 You are referring to Patrick Stewart who played Captain Jean-Luc Picard. That is Star Trek The Next Generation. As for TNG, you should give it another shot. The first season starts off a bit rough, but it gets much better as it goes on. A.B 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.B Posted September 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 Will do...as soon as I manage to get my head away from writing the 2nd story...lol it seems I think of it even when I sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rilbur Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Babylon 5 has got to be my favorite, closely followed by Doctor Who (and related spinoffs). Then there's Firefly. And from there we can go check off things like Sea Quest, Star Wars, Star Trek, BSG, Stargate, etc etc etc. ken barber 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D'Artagnon Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 How about this variation on the question: what obscure sci-fi stuff do you remember that had moments of genius or that maybe influenced you somehow. There are two kinda obscure ones that I can think of right off hand. Oddly, they share the same first name, lol. First is a little thing called "Space:1999" and the second is "Space: Above and Beyond" Anyone remember them? ken barber 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach Caldwell Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 I was pretty young, but I remember Space 1999, I do not remember any of the episodes. But I do remember Martin Landau who starred in it. I also remember a show that was called Time Tunnel. I think it was that show which set the stage for Stargate SG-1 catching my eye many years later. Also remember The Million Dollar Man and Bionic Woman as well as The Man From U.N.C.L.E., ALF and Knight Rider. Of course the biggy. The Outer Limits.

A.B Posted October 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Space:1999 I do not know, I do know Space: above and beyond though funny one . I know Quantum leap which I didn't finish and Alien nation (I think it was called? Aliens with conical shaped heads?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeikor Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 I can go back further- Lost in Space. AB- You had to have seen the original Star Trek when you were a kid or when it first came out. If you go back to it now you see just how bad the effects and acting truly were. LOL I do remember Space:1999. Also liked the original Battlestar Galactica; it was nice to see Lorne Greene get off the ranch. Can anyone get that reference? You all left out Mork from Ork Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ken barber Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 I am going to go a little off course here seeing as this is the Books/authors forum and you guys are talking TV series I thought I would throw in a book series Honorverse, The series of Books About Honor Harrington By David Weber Basilisk Station was the first book in 1993 and has 13 books in the series there are 4 spin off series a video game and movies and cartoons This is a must read for any sci-fi fan D'Artagnon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rilbur Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Heh, I thought we were limited to film or I could have thrown a lot of books into the ring here. A lot of books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denis_p Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 ... You all left out Mork from Ork Now if you can mention 'Mork from Ork' then I can bring the British BBC's 'Red Dwarf' in to the discussion... Who can forget Dave Lister... Arnold Rimmer his hologram nemisis ... Cat... a lifeform which evolved from the descendants of Lister's pregnant pet cat Frankenstein; Holly... Red Dwarf's computer or Kryten... a service mechanoid. It had run for Ten [10] Series between 1988 - 2012 on BBC 2 OR The many 'Saturday Matinee' Serials from the late 1940's and 1950's like: "Captain Video, Master of the Stratoshere", "Buck Rogers", "Commando Cody: Sky Marshal of the Universe" or my favorite "King of the Rocket Men" ken barber 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rilbur Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 HMMM name of the forum Books/Authors Yeah, but the scope of the original post was rather clearly on film But fine, be that way. John Ringo's Looking Glass series John Ringo's Council War series John Ringo's Troy Rising series David Weber & John Ringo's 'Empire of Man' series David Weber's 'Safehold' series Elizibeth Moon's Trading In Danger series Elizibeth Moon's Herris&Serrano series The list goes on and on and on...

denis_p Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Yeah, but the scope of the original post was rather clearly on film But fine, be that way. ... The list goes on and on and on... When it comes to all the Sci-Fi Books and in reality Films/TV Shows also... the feelings I have is like what I say about my Love/Hate relationship with my local 'City of Books'... "Too many Books/'Films or Shows'... Not enough time in a lifetime to read/'view' even a fraction of them all..." Though I will keep on trying to read... Watch... as many as I can as long as I can... PS: I've been re-reading all my old favorite Books Series' 'Pern', 'Dune', 'Ringworld', 'Rama', 'Dark Tower', 'David Eddings Books', 'Raymond Feist Books'... Can anyone recommend anything new/newer that they like... so I can get out of my rut and move into the 21st century of Sci-fi Authors and Books...

BUT remember to those of us that DO remember what was availible before 1966 'Star Trek' was ground breaking and the best thing on TV... In its' way it was the '2001: A Space Odyssey' of its day... nothing was ever the same after it aired... Jeikor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
