ChristusG Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Fringe is awesome. We've watched from the beginning and I just got my dad the first season for Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tohru Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Star Trek is still cool :) -Voyager -Deep Space Nine -Enterprise -even the original 1960's Star Trek is entertaining. We loved Firefly too. So sad there isn't anything else like that. Oh, and if it's just for the adults...we absolutely *loved* Zombieland. It is crude and gruesome, but hysterically funny at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMamaBird Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 We really enjoy Warehouse 13 on the SciFi channel. Doctor Who is also good, but again, not on right now. Bummer. I think they will be back in January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is crude and gruesome, but hysterically funny at the same time. Star Trek, the movie from last year, was great too, imo. I *so* wanted to see Zombieland, but never got around to seeing it when it was in the theaters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garga Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 (edited) The Babylon 5 series kristavws listed a BUNCH, but I want to second Babylon 5. Babylon 5 was one of the first TV shows that had a continuing storyline for the full 5 years. Each episode moved the main story forward. The episodes were NOT stand alone. (esp once you got to season 2 and beyond.) Now a lot of shows do that (like Lost did, and others like that.) But back then, it was a new idea. The person who wrote the show wrote it to end at season 5. He said that he wrote it like a novel, with a beginning a middle and an end. It's not like the writers were trying to figure out what to do at the end of the story. He knew where he was going right from the beginning. There are things that happen in the first couple of episodes that don't pay off until the last couple of episodes. I love B5. I think I'm going to request it from Netflix again (have already watched the whole series twice, or was it 3 times?) It's even better watching the second time, because you catch ALL KINDS of clues in the first episode and realize that the plot was iron tight and planned right from the beginning. Lots of fun to watch. Edited November 30, 2010 by Garga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefly Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Firefly is obviously a fave, but I also thought these were awesome series: Battlestar Galactica (new) The X-Files Star Trek (all incarnations) Farscape Jekyll (BBC series) Sliders (kinda campy, but fun) Enjoy!:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnsinkableKristen Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 I just wanted to second Doctor Who and Warehouse 13. We just started watching Doctor Who and I am completely and totally addicted. And we started watching Warehouse 13 last season and if you like Eureka (one of my favorite shows) then you'll love it. Also, thanks for asking the question - I have a whole lot of things to add to my netflix!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cindie2dds Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 I come to the computer this morning and have more to add to my queue! Thanks! :) Also, thanks for asking the question - I have a whole lot of things to add to my netflix!! Me too, Kristen. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Earth: Final Conflict First Wave The Lost Room Torchwood--a British series with ocassional (to me) s*xually shocking themes, but it's still good. I just cringe and keep watching, lol. Primeval--another British series, kind of hokey but watchable Day of the Triffids--both a British series and a movie (you might be inspired to read the book) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momofkhm Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Battlestar Galactica (new) Just wanted to say, I loved this series, until it ended. There were a few things left unanswered that dh and I thought were important to say why/how/what. I don't want to give it away as the questions don't even come up until season 3 (I think). It wasn't that we didn't like the explanation. There was no explanation. But until the end, we really enjoyed it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangermom Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 I am also a Babylon 5 fan, and I do recommend it, but just be warned that the first season does drag a bit--the acting isn't always great. It's totally worth sticking with it until season 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punchie Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Moon, staring Sam Rockwell. It harkens back to the classic sci-fi era. Not strictly sci-fi, but I love the mini-series Tin Man and Alice that SyFy did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Doctor Who... Doctor Who... Doctor Who... Oh, and Torchwood. But don't be put off by the first season, which had some gems, but also some real duds. Torchwood: Children of Earth is completely amazing.

BikeBookBread Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Doctor Who... Doctor Who... Doctor Who... :iagree: , and Torchwood. But don't be put off by the first season, which had some gems, but also some real duds. Torchwood: Children of Earth is completely amazing. TW is NOT NOT NOT for kids, though. Just in case you're wondering... Firefly & Serenity Fringe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mungo Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 There are a LOT of seasons of Dr. Who available on Netflix and if you have BBC America, there are a lot of marathons and such. Torchwood--a British series with ocassional (to me) s*xually shocking themes, but it's still good. I just cringe and keep watching, lol. Torchwood is a Dr. Who spinoff, for those who do not know. :) A great parody movie that hasn't been mentioned? Galaxy Quest. LOVE IT!
