Star Trek: TNG is awesome. But most of the franchise is meh and abused.

Stargate is mostly ok stuff. SG-1 being the goodest part.

The Star Wars franchise is mostly hot garbage. I liked jedi outcast and the original movies though.

So I guess the only thing that fits the sentence is 'gate'

I say these rankings are not smart. A true sci fi enjoyer doesn't rank. They see these creations exist simultaneously, manifests of our curiosity, imagination and awe for the incomprehensible vastness and variety of life and the universe. Having said that, Star Wars. Definetly Star Wars.

Citizen.

Now, take me back to the asylum, I'm more comfortable there.

Funny way to say Lexx, but ok.

Firefly and Babylon 5 fans you can just... not.

JK - feel free to pipe up.

Star Jerry O'Connell remained in the cast for all seven seasons of Sliders, in another timeline where it is the best franchise in the history of sci-fi.

I won't pretend Sliders can hit among the real heavyweights, especially after season 3, but I think it could have. I know we're all sick of remakes, but if there's any show that deserves a second chance, it's Sliders.

Stardust. And no, that's not the name of the franchise, but it's the ship that started it.

[–] gothmog@lemmy.today 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

What franchise? Stardust the movie is awesome but not scifi.

Perry Rhodan. Longest running series in the world, and the one with most reading material. Never captured on film though (except for the one time we don't talk about).

[–] AbouBenAdhem@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Blazers. Just for nostalgia.

[–] galoisghost@aussie.zone 4 points 2 days ago

Now there’s a core memory. Star Blazers on the ABC in the afternoon. What a show

starcraft,1,2. i dont have high hopes for the FSP coming out in 4years, what is with blizzard and decade long droughts. shouldnt they be working on SC3 instead(its not that hard to expand beyond the korpulu sector)? they already tried the failed ghost genre.

stargate, i like the 3 series. the first season and first half of second season sgu doomed the franchise. And AMAZON cancelled the new series a while ago, because it wasnt "targeting more audiences" as they said, also being an abysmal 10 episodes, is probably going to mid- the series.

trek, better not make kurtzman or MATALAS showrunning any new series going foward, they turned it into copaganda slop.

star wars doesnt count its more space drama/opera than actual scifi, also includes a no-no in scifi magic/magi-tech.

I’m still waiting for a screen adaptation of SC 1 and Brood War. Granted most game-to-movie adaptations suck, but the story is so good I want a movie trilogy out of it.

"field"

[–] Jesus_666@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Definitely one of the best Windows 3.1 screensavers. Bethesda's adaptation didn't do it justice.

[–] hungprocess@piefed.world 5 points 2 days ago

"... vs. the Forces of Evil", mostly to watch my fellow sci-fi nerds squirm
