NBN's Indulgently Precipitous New Poll :: Favourite SCIENCE FICTION Show :: GRAND FINAL

[Nine Bob Note]

Here you have it then.

Only ten shows to choose from, as four were tied for the remaining two places (ST: DS9, the Tripods, Quantum Leap and Adventure Time).

I've changed to a maximum of three votes, as that's how many nominations you were each given.

Poll closes Friday 9PM

I'm happy to see the clangers made it.

BSG - So say we all!

 

[maomao]

Gotta be ST:TNG given the quality in the final round. And a Clangers protest vote.

ST:TNG was ground breaking in its day, and I was a huge fan, but it's a relic, a vestige of simpler times, something to reminisce about through rose tinted spectacles, but not worthy of victory in a contemporary poll.

So say we all!

So's BSG. If you want modern and good it should have been The Expanse. This is meant to be best ever.

TNG first aired in 1987, BSG in 2004. That's a generational difference (do you see what I did there?).

The Expanse in 2016. That's a generational difference where I come from.

12 years is a generation to you? Guess they must start young round your way...!

What a depressing final list. There's not a single example of pure science fiction amongst them, for a start. Five space adventures, one kid's puppet show, three horror shows and Doctor Who, which is sporadically good and frequently terrible but never about the implications of actual scientific advances. I can't in good consciousness vote for any of them.

That's the fatal flaw of democracy, when people don't agree with you.

So say we all!

The middle of the distribution of mediocrity is always the most popular, certainly. Not sure this particular poll qualifies as democracy, mind. Little policy will be set based on its outcome, I suspect.

Not helped by the fact Dandred rigged the Clangers vote

Anyone voting Star Trek gets their head flushed down the bogs at break

 

[Orang Utan]

Anyone voting Red Dwarf gets flung into outer space with all their Terry Pratchett novels

Oh, rrrrrreally?

 

[Orang Utan]

Anyone voting Dr Who gets locked in a playground and made to wear children's clothes for the rest of their lives.

Anything after Back to Reality was just smeg

anyone voting x-files can have all their genre fiction told through the lense of american law enforcement because they love the authority

Was about to like this but surely the X-Files was very much anti-law agencies; Mulder and Scully running up against fellow feds and the CIA?

FBI vs Deep State really, Skinner was onside even if he sometimes ballached them.

I had a massive crush on Skinner for the original run. Nearly got a chance to interview Mitch Peleggi but somebody else swiped the gig and made a complete pig's ear of it.

There were a few X-Files rip offs at the time but the show still ranks as one of the best conspiracy series. Although I did prefer Millennium. Don't know how to classify that one...

I can't believe nobody nominated Primeval

Only voted for it cos all the other options were shit and I wanted to use all my votes

 

[JTG]

Button Moon is better than most of these
