I am a big time science fiction nerd lol. I have been obsessed with Star Wars since i was a young kid and was big into Stargate SG1 when it was still on TV (that is where the user name came from). What shows/movies are you guys obsessed with?
I am a fan of all of them, still am.
Thank God for Netflix and Amazon Prime where I can pull up and watch any episode of all the Star Trek and SG series anytime I feel like it on a whim.
I was there when Star Trek tos first came on, loved and watched every episode of all the others along with all the different Stargate versions.
Heck, I am old enough to have seen the first runs of the original Twilight Zones, all the Outer Limits and I was even a fan of the hokey Time Tunnel, Land of the Giants and even The Invaders show with their odd colored palms and bent pinky fingers.
Out of all of them I would have to say that the greatest show overall would have to be Babylon 5 for several reasons.
J. Michael Straczynski is a writing genius, the whole story was conceived as a 5 year arc and was actually achieved despite moving to a different network about halfway through.
Several full length movies were produced to tie up loose ends in case the series ended prematurely and each character had a trapdoor written into each of them in case any one needed to be moved in or out of the storyline.
Deep Space 9 and several other shows had story arcs that went several seasons and were completed but none had the exact feel of B5.
That show was about as close to the same as reading a novel as you can get, and if you watch all the episodes along with the corresponding movies in chronological order the experience is something extremely entertaining and totally unique...especially in this day and age where Enterprise couldn't even make it to 5 seasons.
