Dune>Odyssey(2001, 2010)>B5>Farscape>Trek>SW.

Nothing beats Dune(I think the Sci-Fi miniseries is better than the movie, though). But the movies based on Clarke's Odyssey books pull a close second. Both share a common need for someone to make movies/miniseries out of the other half of the series. Wink

B5 is good for its rather impressive combination of plot, action, special effects, and pseudo-realistic physics. It's almost beleivable, which can't be said for most science fiction.

Farscape...that's just a fun show to watch. Leans more toward the fiction end of science fiction, but the plot and characters more than make up for that. Too bad the morons at Sci-Fi had it cancelled.

Trek was good, but it started going downhill after Gene bit the dust. Original Trek, movies 1-6, and parts of TNG seemed a lot less...stiff than the rest of it. Action doesn't make for good storytelling, nor do fancy effects. The newer episodes look like simple remakes of those in the older shows.

Star Wars...well, it's dead in my book. I'll see Episode III just for closure, but I'll wait until it comes out on HBO so I don't waste my money. The first three were great, but Lucas let his success go to his head and spewed out a batch of utter crap with fancy CG stuff and stiff-as-a-board acting.

"Arms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. Horrid mischief would ensue were (the law-abiding) deprived of the use of them." - Thomas Paine

Remember, kids: illiteracy is cool. If you took the time to read this, you are clearly a loser who will never get laid. You've been warned.
