As I’ve been saying for a while now, it’s not a matter of IF but WHEN…

Tough one for me.  Want to weigh overall quality and consistency as well as episode count.

Black Mirror would be my first pick give it checks off quality and consistency as well as offering a healthy 33 episode offering.  It also has the bonus of being an anthology series offering varied storylines.

In the same vein, I think I would also go with The Twilight Zone.  A little dated, a little more inconsistent, but enough standout episodes in its 156 episode run to make it a worthy candidate.

My final pick is tough.  I have to go with a show I’ve already watched (much of anyway).  Loved Firefly but I’d burn through those 14 episodes in no time.  Babylon 5 and Farscape are favorites as well but I think that, in the end, nostalgia prevails and I’d go with Star Trek: The Original Series.

And you?

  1. Tricky. Dark Matter, obviously. Babylon 5 is a series I never tire of so that would be my second choice. I think I’d have to go Star Trek Voyager. It gets a lot of flack but I loved it from the start – my favourite of the Star Trek shows.

  2. Currently on season 19 of ‘The Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon’ my current bosses don’t know I watch this at work so I hope this doesn’t get me into trouble.

  3. It’s a desert island. I’m gonna have to go for quantity over quality (although the quality is still up there).

    Stargate: SG-1
    Star Trek: The Next Generation
    Doctor Who

    Babylon 5 is a close 4th in the list. It’s fantastic but I don’t find it as rewatchable as the top three.

    I love Firefly but, as you say, it’s too short.

    I find Black Mirror to be a bit hit or miss. Some episodes are amazing but others fall flat for me.

      Excellent choices.

  4. “My all-time favorite sci-fi show is Stargate Universe. I loved the tension, the characters, and that brutal cliffhanger left me obsessed for years. If the series ever gets revived, I’ve got a rock-solid pitch for how Eli survives and uncovers Destiny’s true mission (involving a galactic Dyson sphere and a race older than the Ancients). Joe, if you’re ever curious, I’d love to hear your thoughts on where SGU could’ve gone next!”

  5. I love all things Stargate so that would be my tops but I am also a lover of all things Star Trek, Voyager and Next Gen being my favorites.
