TV scifi shows in the '80s and '90s.


Recommended Posts

Watched all of the above, worte fanfic in most of the above.

 

Of course, my favorite pet theory was that Earth: final Conflict and X-Files were the same universe. Taelons, with their need for soldiers, workers, and reproduction were the "colonists." The alien "rebels" were the Jaridians, and a handful of Kimera survivors were running interference ("Genderbender," "Requiem"). Of course, said theory tops off with Sandoval knowing as much as he does because he screwed Mulder out of the basement office...

I love, love TNG. I'd have to say it's my favorite show of all time. I have every episode and I'm even from the only place in the united states that voted to have TNG reruns on instead of Letterman every night.

 

Weird how I turned out to be a SW geek instead of a Trekkie.

I do remember V as well as Quantum Leap (everything hits syndication at some point). I guess Greatest American Hero sort of falls into the cheese category with Mork 'n Mindy. Have seen Red Dwarf. Farscape and Roswell came out in 1999. Others not mentioned include ALF, Stargate SG-1, Hitchhiker's Guide, Alien Nation, Blakes 7, Sliders, The Sentinel, 7 Days, Millenium, 3rd Rock From the Sun and others that can be found at the link below

What are you implying?

 

Inventing new particles/elements to save the day = lazy writing, IMO.

 

Star Trek was always about exploration and discovery plus these "save the day" things only happened in one or two episodes. Or let me guess, you just laughed your way through every episode of every series until it finished?

I counted most of seasons 6 and 7 ending in this way :)

No. But I don't refute that it as a masterpiece that reshaped the fundamental nature of the Western world, which it wasn't.

Well, if your measuring scale is the Bad-Pun meter, it rates extremely high--almost as good as "'Veterinarians Hospital'--Where the Quacks Have Gone to the Dogs"

Maybe even a 2x shot, I think there were a coupla times when >1 went for the gong. It was an odd show, though. Maybe a gong should've been added to American Idol or America's Got Talent (neither of which I bother watching btw).

Well, my twin is a BIG V nut. As in, has the novels, the comics, the thole series on DVD, etc. Juliet Parrish was a childhood hero of hers. There was a BIG V LARP on the playfield, and My sister scored that role. She attributes a lot of her adult gaming habit to that era...
