]]> <![CDATA[Which Dead Sci Fi Show Should Breathe Again?]]> @Lars: Replying to this comment pretty late here, but seeing that NO ONE responded to this, a huge nod of approval here for Red Dwarf.

Space Above & Beyond was so much fun! Great show. Right after that would be Stargate SG1, Firefly, and FarScape. Can't we all just stage a rally at SciFi's offices and demand they give us real Science Fiction again instead of Flash Gordon?

]]> <![CDATA[Which Dead Sci Fi Show Should Breathe Again?]]> I voted for Firefly, because that and Cowboy Bebop are the only space sci-fi shows I actually love.

]]> <![CDATA[Which Dead Sci Fi Show Should Breathe Again?]]> @ Amphitrite: Love V! Kinda reptillian agenda, very cool.

Also, good goddamn I loved Firefly, duh, voted for that, but only because MST3K feels more like a comedy show. The sci-fi "plot?" Not the meat and potatoes of the show. That's why rifftrax is just about as good.

tinymoves

]]> <![CDATA[Which Dead Sci Fi Show Should Breathe Again?]]> Voted for Farscape, though Firefly would also be a good choice. Bothe have the same drawback: a movie/miniseries that wrapped up the storylines satisfactorily. Hard to do anything after that without reinventing the entire concept, just about.
May I suggest a second poll after this one closes? include the top votegetters from this one (without Firefly, it's just running away with it here and would do the same a second time around - no need), and some of the omitted ones that have been mentioned? I'm still p***ed at NBC for cancelling (well, not renewing) Journeyman, so please include it in the new poll!

]]> <![CDATA[Which Dead Sci Fi Show Should Breathe Again?]]> Firefly, a thousand times Firefly! But Space: Above and Beyond has a special place on my shelf, too.

As for the networks and their strike problem, they'd do well to look into importing Charlie Jade from South Africa.

]]> <![CDATA[Which Dead Sci Fi Show Should Breathe Again?]]> @Eric J: I think you might need to change the title from Space: 1999 to Space: 2099 though but that is also a good suggestion.

Nate

]]> <![CDATA[Which Dead Sci Fi Show Should Breathe Again?]]> Max Headroom was fun but I liked others better. V (as mentioned by Amphitrite) was very good. I voted for Firefly but would love to see some continuation of the Farscape universe...perhaps a few years later where the young Dhargo (I think I spelled that right) has now grown up and wants to find out more of his ancestry...aka Earth. Quantum Leap would also be good but Scott Bakula is too old now even if he was good on Enterprise.

]]> <![CDATA[Which Dead Sci Fi Show Should Breathe Again?]]> @Lampbane:
What might have been, is a big part of the sense of loss Browncoats feel. However each episode was incredible. The characters, the dialogue, the 'verse they live in is a world many can easily relate to. I could be a passenger aboard Serenity.

I saw Firefly when it aired and I watched Buffy and Angel and gave Firefly a chance only because of Joss. I was confused at the way Joss decided to start the show in the middle of an action episode, no intro no set up it was very unlike Joss. Later I found out that was not the episode Joss intended to be first. However it was during the Train Job that I fell in love with this show. It just grabbed me.

Its not just about what could have been but about what we felt aboard that ship, following the crew and connecting with a character or 2. I think the diversity of the characters is great. I gives everyone someone they can identify with.

It seems that you either get it or you don't. Sorry for all of you who don't. Those that do know what a special show it was and continues to be as we rewatch the episodes.

Of course I voted for Firefly. However I still want more of Earth 2 and I also remember V.

Who here remembers TekWar??

abzolutxero

]]> <![CDATA[Which Dead Sci Fi Show Should Breathe Again?]]> I can't even for the life of me understand why some of you see fit to dis on Firefly. If you "watched a show and didn't get it" then do it the right way: Buy the DVD set and watch it from the FIRST show, so you can enjoy the character development in the correct fashion. After all, this show, unlike so much CRAP that's out there today, was totally based on strong characters, compelling story lines, eschewing special effects and bullshit aliens for more tangible things like unrequited love, die hard loyalty even in the face of certain death, family. YES 'FAMILY' GODDAMMIT!! For many of us, the crew of the Firefly became, if only for a few hours, our dear dear family, and it was good to partake in their kinship. My life was shiny, if only for a few, few hours. Fox network can die - die and go to hell, courtesy of Mr/Mrs Garrison. Because of how it ended, Joss has been quoted as saying that he will not ever consider TV as proper medium for the show again, although he does have planned a sequel (or two) for Serenity.

Now I realize that this kind of thing is subjective and personal as hell, which is why I would never go around dissing YOUR fave TV show, no matter how lame and storyless I found it to be. Have some f$#@ing respect, people, because without respect and honor, we make ourselves lower than dogs, and open to judgment by Hannibal, which is a plate of justice I do NOT want to be served today, thank you very much!

Cheers.

]]> <![CDATA[Which Dead Sci Fi Show Should Breathe Again?]]> whadabout Alien Nation? I thought the series was better than the movie ('cept for Mandy Patinkin... he's good in whatever he's in) and like all good sci-fi series it was killed off by Fox way too early.

I am not so patiently awaiting my DVD to arrive in the mail.

and I want LEXX back. But since it's not on the list, I'll vote for Farscape.

]]> <![CDATA[Which Dead Sci Fi Show Should Breathe Again?]]> Firefly ! , without the shadow of a doubt...Despite the jealous back-lash from non-Browncoats !

Earth2 , also , because despite having about twice as many eps as Firefly , it was the prior zenith of TV Sci-Fi , without the satisfaction of a fulfilling closure...

Would love to see at least a made-for-TV movie , or a little Earth2 mini-series , to bring the crew back together , at least once...

Might even re-launch some past glory...See how folk have fared on G889 in these years gone by...

notquiteunderground

]]> <![CDATA[Which Dead Sci Fi Show Should Breathe Again?]]> However acclaimed firefly may be, it's poll result is surely going to be boosted because it (and it's movie) are more recent. This means it naturally has a more active fanbase with still-high hopes for revival. Many of these fans came off the backs of cancellations such as Farscape, the Star Trek franchises, and other notables, looking for a fix, myself included.

But true to my roots, I voted Farscape :)

]]> <![CDATA[Which Dead Sci Fi Show Should Breathe Again?]]> "I've heard--from Mike & Joel, so I assume there's something to it--that MST3K might be making a return."

Regarding MST3K, there are 3 official offspring of MST3K that are in the works right now:

- Rifftrax, a venture headed by Mike Nelson allowing users to purchase MP3 audio tracks of Mike and special guests riffing current movies -- watch the movie and play the mp3 along with it

- MST3K.com - some weird relaunching of the MST3K name from Jim Mallon and other Best Brains allumni. Currently features strange flash cartoons of the robots.

- Cinematic Titanic - probably the most interesting and newest version, it's a new company started by Joel Hodgson, and features much of the original MST3K gang, including Mary Jo Pehl, Josh Weinstein, and Trace Beaulieu. Their first movie, The Oozing Skull, is available on DVD now.

samuelk

]]> <![CDATA[Which Dead Sci Fi Show Should Breathe Again?]]> Firefly of course... and here is how; when Adama finally find Earth it is the 'verse'. The Alliance takes on the Cylons and sci-fi goodness ensues. BTW Farscape was also very good but I'm a Browncoat first.

deckard97

]]> <![CDATA[Which Dead Sci Fi Show Should Breathe Again?]]> I was disappointed Dark Angel didn't make the list. At least Farscape and Firefly got movies made to wind them up. Dark Angel ended abruptly, just when things were getting interesting.

Fronk

]]> <![CDATA[Which Dead Sci Fi Show Should Breathe Again?]]> Moral ambiguity. The characteristic Whedonesque dialogue. Loveable characters. Characters that don't quite fit preconceived gender and other social roles. A realistic-in-its-disappointedness... yet still-hopeful modest utopianism. Sweet action scenes.

It's not overrated!

noncornbatant

]]> <![CDATA[Which Dead Sci Fi Show Should Breathe Again?]]> @tk.:

My biggest problem with Firefly is how people seem to judge it on what it could have become, not necessarily what it was. I loved Buffy the Vampire Slayer to bits, but if it had been cancelled after the first season I would not have been surprised, and if anyone were to gush about how brilliant and amazing and unique and ahead-of-its-time it was, I would have laughed at them. The first season was weak. I admit this.

Firefly's first and only season was hit-and-miss. It could have gotten much better, but it never got the chance and we can't judge episodes we haven't seen.

Lampbane

]]> <![CDATA[Which Dead Sci Fi Show Should Breathe Again?]]> It's time for a return to the basics.

Doc Savage: The Man of Bronze as a 3-4 episode story arc series. One month, one novel/adventure.

Do it straight. No parody, no winks and nods towards the 1960s BATMAN and no references at all to the abominable Doc Savage movie.

hiro_protagonist

]]> <![CDATA[Which Dead Sci Fi Show Should Breathe Again?]]> Voted for "Sliders" but I think it would have to be with a cast that can get along with each other (there were some serious personality issues given all the cast changes that went on.) One I would have liked to have voted on was a short lived little gem on Fox called "Strange Luck" with D.B. Sweeney. I don't know if counts as sci fi but it was on the quirky/weird side.

EGN

]]> <![CDATA[Which Dead Sci Fi Show Should Breathe Again?]]> I voted for Firefly, I missed it the first time around but have been watching reruns on UniversalHD. Also from the rerun pile, how about some votes for Dark Angel? I've been watching it on a channel I didn't even know I had (SiTV) and it is way cooler then the Bionic Woman remake - while being essentially the same show (Hot young superchick saves the world).

]]> <![CDATA[Which Dead Sci Fi Show Should Breathe Again?]]> Most people are going to vote for Firefly I'll bet. Still think it's highly overrated.

The only one that appeals to me is Farscape but it pretty much was concluded with the PK Wars, so there's nothing else there.

katsmeow

]]> <![CDATA[Which Dead Sci Fi Show Should Breathe Again?]]> Lord, Browncoats... I like Joss Whedon. I like sci-fi (or I wouldn't be here), but Firefly. Its not THAT awesome. It has just enough "empty space" in its universe for people to fill in with their own imaginations, the key ingredient for any deep fandom, to draw the passion... but really people. The show was flawed from the get-go, even without Fox screwing over the scheduling.

Buffy (and Angel) worked because they let their ensembles grow organically... Firefly started with nine freaking characters on the ship. NINE! Lost has more castaways, but how many were we really asked to care about at first? Three: Jack, Kate and Sawyer, four if you count Hurley.

How many Buffy characters were we asked to care about at first as principles? Three: Buffy, Willow, and Xander, five if you count Giles and the "Big Bad" of the Master. And yes, I KNOW just how many of the future-Scoobies and other characters we would come to know and love were in that episode, but they barely had lines. That's what made the show cool, it rewarded you by honoring its world while not trying to exhaust you with its personalities.

Anyway, Firefly should've been left off the poll, its skewing the results and isn't really old or dead enough yet. And for the record I have a mad crush on Jewel Staite.

I'd vote for Firefly, but I fear that it would never be the same, given that they're all doing other things now.

Hey, does anybody remember a silly little show called Quark (I think)? It was about an outer-space garbage truck. Sort of a parody of Star Trek, sometime around the 70's...

FredicvsMaximvs

MilesFromNowhere

]]> <![CDATA[Which Dead Sci Fi Show Should Breathe Again?]]> I would love to see Farscape and Firefly again. But all the Serenity crew either got killed in the movie or signed onto new series. (I am so glad to see Adam Baldwin working again.)

So Farscape wins by default. Farting aliens nicknamed Sparky and hot, blue alien chicks. You know Capt. Kirk was jealous.

This all may be moot anyway. I saw a promo for Knightrider on NBC. There ought to be a law.

And a second vote for Earth 2. I loved this show and would have liked to have seen where it would have gone.

I saw a vote for Wonderfalls in the comments, and I have to give a vote for that show too. Why do all the actually good, well written, well acted shows get canceled?

How I laughed at that show! It makes my sides ache just remembering it. And I'm so glad some one remembers Space:1999. I don't think it needed a better premise (people on a moon base hurtling through space falling through time and space warps - what could be better??). It didn't need better special effects. What it needed was better writing. The episodes drudged on like toe fungus. If you could get thru them, they were brilliant.

buck rogers gets the nod from that list though.

]]> <![CDATA[Which Dead Sci Fi Show Should Breathe Again?]]> I'd say that MST3K did die a slow death, but one of the best episodes was with Mike in season 10, I think. I still say lines from Horros of Spider Island, at least once a week.
"Babs played fullback fot the Lions." HA!

MarlboroTestMonkey7

]]> <![CDATA[Which Dead Sci Fi Show Should Breathe Again?]]> I seem to recall Firefly not being overrated while it was actually on the air. Seems to me it was underrated as hell, which was a large factor in it's cancellation. This is part of why people are so annoyingly fanatical about spreading the good word of Firefly.

Sorry if that destroys anyone's personal fanboy continuum, but it's the truth.

Inkymonkey

]]> <![CDATA[Which Dead Sci Fi Show Should Breathe Again?]]> Of course all of the Joss Whedon leg-humpers (tongue firmly planted in cheek :P ) will want Firefly and vote accordingly. And it's not that I can't blame them...I loved it, it was brilliant.

In the end, Farscape always had a deeper place in my heart, and was more cruely put to pasture.

I did.

braak

]]> <![CDATA[Which Dead Sci Fi Show Should Breathe Again?]]> FIREFLY because it's shiny and because she has a hell of a crew. There's also the fact that Joss Whedon is amazing and has so many more stories to tell with this - (and we're all just waiting around the campfire toasting any tidbit that comes our way with the same relish as toasting marshmallows.

How can you not love a cast who loves their fans so much? How can you not love Joss? And who can resist those Fruity Oatie Bars??? YUM!

X: The Eliminator

]]> <![CDATA[Which Dead Sci Fi Show Should Breathe Again?]]> I voted for Firefly (with apologies to those who think that's oh-soooooo-popular), but I wanted to make a special mention in support of Buck Rogers. Colonel Dearing was the first woman I ever had "those feelings" about. Oh, Erin Gray.

Balam

]]> <![CDATA[Which Dead Sci Fi Show Should Breathe Again?]]> Earth 2! It's got Clancy Brown, and Terr O'Quinn, so that's good enough for me. Some pretty good ideas thrown in as well.

PVIII

]]> <![CDATA[Which Dead Sci Fi Show Should Breathe Again?]]> @SuperUnison: I agree. Every time I tried to watch Firefly - and it was a number of times - I was bored out of my skull. Did not do anything for me. SO overrated.

elizabethm

]]> <![CDATA[Which Dead Sci Fi Show Should Breathe Again?]]> Though I love MST3K, it died a slow, painful death beginning when Joel left. I don't want it to come back and suffer any longer.

Gotta be Firefly. It died too young.

What about Battlestar Galactica? Oh, its back. Never mind.

AhnyerKeester

]]> <![CDATA[Which Dead Sci Fi Show Should Breathe Again?]]> @braak: 'the who?' is a running gag from the show.

Or a second season of Surface.
ut we all know Firefly is going to win this poll. You know THOSE people are just nuts.
Not like the rest of us at all.

fostina1

]]> <![CDATA[Which Dead Sci Fi Show Should Breathe Again?]]> @tetracycloide: It was a cartoon in which Malcolm MacDowell voiced an evil cyborg monkey called Rhesus II who had an exposed brain that could leap out of his skull and attack people.

Every episode was a parody of a science fiction classic.

But what about 'Wonderfalls'? Can that be considered sci-fi?

NefariousNewt

]]> <![CDATA[Which Dead Sci Fi Show Should Breathe Again?]]> @braak: Oh wow - nicely recalled. That was definitely good fun, and yes, incredibly short lived. I had just enough time to get excited about it and then it went away.

papercup mixmaster

]]> <![CDATA[Which Dead Sci Fi Show Should Breathe Again?]]> I have to go with Firefly, because it was unjustly short-lived. Forever, I don't know. But I trust that Joss Whedon is sitting on heaps of fantastic material that never did (and now probably won't) see the light of day.

However, I have always wondered what happened in Sliders' naked world. That's definitely one of my clearest memories of that show. I didn't vote that way because, well, we saw the directions it was going towards its end...

NefariousNewt

]]> <![CDATA[Which Dead Sci Fi Show Should Breathe Again?]]> @LadyMin: I second B5, though with a tighter storyline this time.

I'd also like to see Space 1999 revived, but perhaps with a less hokey premise and better effects.

NefariousNewt

]]> <![CDATA[Which Dead Sci Fi Show Should Breathe Again?]]> Captain Simian and Space Monkeys.

braak

]]> <![CDATA[Which Dead Sci Fi Show Should Breathe Again?]]> Duh I forgot Firefly...
(thats what I get for voting before the poll is up)

Also Futurama! Yes I know they have the new multipart DVD super episodes (or whatever they are), but we need NEW Futurama episodes on the air, come on BOX corporation.. bring them back..

DocGratis

]]> <![CDATA[Which Dead Sci Fi Show Should Breathe Again?]]> am i the only one who still fondly recalls sci fi's invisible man do-over? darien fawkes, bobby hobbes, the banter, the quicksilver madness? it was on pre-farscape for a while, and so clever they had to bring in a boobs mcgee at the end in the hopes of attracting a slobbering contingent, but only succeeded in infuriating the rest of us.

Kaila Hale-Stern

]]> <![CDATA[Which Dead Sci Fi Show Should Breathe Again?]]> Babylon 5 ... One of my favorite shows ever!

I'd love to see some new Max Headroom too. Now that was a show that was ahead of its time.

Given the choices, I'll take more Firefly.

LadyMin

]]> <![CDATA[Which Dead Sci Fi Show Should Breathe Again?]]> Firefly was good, was it a bit overratted, maybe... but like Cowboy Bebop you could watch those shows going on forever.

SpaceAAB was nice at first but it got heady and weird FAST. I could have done without the whole conspiracy plotline.

Farscape was another that was gone before its time, but they wrapped it up good enough to make any future episodes not nearly as good.

MST3000 is back in spirit with both Mike and Joel having websites devoted to what they where doing on the show

And just ugh at those 80s shows (minus Quantum Leap) they where cool as a kid, but you look back at them now and UGH.

Falconfire

]]> <![CDATA[Which Dead Sci Fi Show Should Breathe Again?]]> I vote for either Far Out Space Nuts of the Lost Saucer. Oh, and Island of Doctor Shrinker to complete the trifecta!

IntoAshes

]]> <![CDATA[Which Dead Sci Fi Show Should Breathe Again?]]> Firefly... why my good friend lent me the DVD collection, I had my doubts. But when I sat down to watch a random episode, not knowing any of the characters or anything, I was hooked. And yes, for the sake of the children, give Jayne his own spinoff.

Personally voted for Farscape, though, because honestly, they replaced it with TREMORS. And now Flash Gordon.

Lampbane

]]> <![CDATA[Which Dead Sci Fi Show Should Breathe Again?]]> @nutbastard: Lexx was the first one I looked for on here. Problem was once they introduced the two worlds conflict it got crappy. Fast.

Pisko

]]> <![CDATA[Which Dead Sci Fi Show Should Breathe Again?]]> it's not as if the story lines have to be terribly coherant. so what if the lexx died? so what if kai is alive? couldn't we do a "it was all just a dream" thing that negates the whole fire and water thing?

nutbastard: Don't blame me i voted for Ron Paul edition

]]> <![CDATA[Which Dead Sci Fi Show Should Breathe Again?]]> I barely remember Misfits, except that I remember loving it.

I thought Buck Rogers was the better show, but I didn't love it as much in that irrational way.

The newer ones...not enough time has passed for my nostalgia to kick in. And Quantum Leap has essentially been remade a dozen times since, just with slightly different names and characters.

But what I really wanted was a 2nd season of the awesomely-awesome Invasion! Who's with me?

Nobody? Not a single person?

(I really did love that one season of Invasion....It got better and better as the season went along and was better than Lost that season. I miss it.)

nutbastard: Don't blame me i voted for Ron Paul edition

Cacafuego

]]> <![CDATA[Which Dead Sci Fi Show Should Breathe Again?]]> I like the idea of an older Courtney Cox playing an older TK. She could be the mentor of the new Misfits. Farscape, MSTK3K (check out [www.rifftrax.com] if you really need a fix), Firefly. Yeah, I think that'd keep me busy for awhile.

Ed Grabianowski

]]> <![CDATA[Which Dead Sci Fi Show Should Breathe Again?]]> I voted for "Earth 2" because, while not as good as "Firefly," it isn't nearly as irritatingly overrated.
