So stuff that has been in the NES like Carnage is fair game.

@Winterbringer: It will probably be like Spiderman 3: one developer for the nextgen 360/PS3 consoles, and then a different developer and game for the stripped down lastgen consoles and wii.

So SETI would stop doing actual work because a new theory says they might be wrong? I find that a poor reason to stop searching.

"Billy, your mother has a theory that you haven't had any luck in dating because there really doesn't exist the right girl for you. All your past dating bears this out as true. You should stop trying to date."

If there's a possibility that we might find what we're looking for with SETI, we should keep trying. That's a possibility. If we shut it down, that will reduce our chances of finding it to zero.

I actually love the Prisoner tho. I'll be very sad if that or the Twilight Zone wins this poll. That's why I voted for Babylon 5. I never quite "got" why that was supposedly such a great scifi show.

Too bad this is slipping, but I had forgotten this existed. I was expecting I'd have to wait for SC2 modders for a good AOS map.

If they are going to do those "backdoor pilots" scifi channel seems fond of talking up everywhere, where's my Lost Room series?

Also, the topic, no more Flash? It's a christmas miracle.

Am I foolish to hope for some Bruce Timm/Paul Dini show to fill the gap?

The Cell is another big one for me.

But Ghost Dog as scifi? I generally have a very loose idea of scifi, but I don't recall anything in that film that made me think it was scifi. Perhaps there was something I missed. I thought it was overrated too, so perhaps with the proper enthusiasm for it, the argument for scifi is more clear.

I also think the people who shot Karl and Rosseau are not Others, but from the boat. Since the poison gas is no longer an issue, what's stopping them from going in fully armed and taking the whole island?

As to not explaining things, I'm fine with it. I think of Lost as one long novel, or one series of novels. If it's interesting enough, you ride it out until the conclusion. Do you get half or three quarters through a novel than boycott it because it hasn't explained anything yet?

But that's any type of game that wants to balance: any positive choice you make differently than the person next to you has to have some flaw or constraint associated with it.

Gamma World had this surreal look at post-apocalypse. One that had so much going on in a world where the table was supposed to be wiped clean. RIFTS picked that up as well. Very rich worlds that I could just read the sourcebooks and imagine, even without getting to play. I kinda wish they had gotten the good fiction treatment, the way Warhammer40k got.

I also remember looking forward to mutation in Gamma World. While there was always supposed to be drawbacks for mutation, they never quite came through when some of the mutations were so damn cool.

I also miss the Wizards movie, including seeing it on an old betamax copy a friend had in college, but that's a whole other set of memories.

That's always been my concern with this stuff. I'd hate to end up the Tin Man running around in a world of T-1000s.

I'd go for Doctor Who's The Master, but he must be a british citizen instead.

What about Lex Luthor? That was the feared JLA plotline.

Scorpius is definitely a good choice for this list.

And this episode did have those nice things about Ben. This drives home that for all his evil genius machinations, Ben is more on the childish side emotionally.

Who would win in a fight between Flash Gordon and Captain Kirk?

Or does that not have enough spandex for this thread?
