JumpyTheFrog Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Do you remember your high school yearbook having senior superlatives (best smile, most athletic, etc)? I thought we could do one for sci-fi shows.

Mergath Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I'm probably a bit generous with my definition of Sci-Fi, but I'll give it a go. :) Most Manipulative: Saffron, from Firefly Most Humble: Dr. Rush from SGU. Ha! Kidding. Um, probably Colonel O'Neal from SG1. Best Leader: Mal, from Firefly Most Skeptical: Scully. Isn't that her whole point of existing? Best Sense of Humor: Pretty much the entire cast of Firefly. Favorite Alien Species: The Ood. Gotta love the Ood. Favorite Alien Character: The Doctor. :D Most Realistic Show: The Walking Dead Least Realistic Show: Stargate Atlantis. Or anything made prior to about 1995. And I'll add one of my own. Scariest Aliens: The Vashta Nerada from Doctor Who Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onceuponatime Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Do you remember your high school yearbook having senior superlatives (best smile, most athletic, etc)? I thought we could do one for sci-fi shows. Most Manipulative: Garrick- Deep Space Nine Most Humble: Dr. Crusher- Next Generation Best Leader: Picard- Next Generation Most Skeptical: Major Kira- Deep Space Nine Best Sense of Humor: Data- Humor, I love it! Favorite Aloen Species: Ferengi Favorite Alien Character: Quark- Deep Space Nine Most Realistic Show: City on the Edge of Forever- Episode in old Star Trek series (I don't find any of the series realistic, so I picked an episode.) Least Realistic Show: Lost In Space Feel free to add your own categories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpyTheFrog Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 Most Manipulative: I was going to say Ben (Lost), but I have to agree that Garak (Deep Space Nine) is up there. Most Humble: ? Best Leader: ? Most Skeptical: I'm re-watching Enterprise now, so I'll vote for T'Pol. Scully is a good choice, too. Best Sense of Humor: ? Favorite Alien Species: I don't know, but it's not the Ood (Doctor Who) because they creep me out. Favorite Alien Character: Definitely Quark! Most Realistic Show: Battlestar Galactica had episodes with water shortages and severe food rationing, which few shows include. I also like how Babylon 5 showed that even in the future, there will still be homeless people living in shantytowns. Least Realistic Show: Star Trek: TNG - Maybe not technology wise, but it is so idealistic and everything always works out. There are few power-hungry people in Star Fleet, which isn't realistic. ​Most Likeable Leader: Well, Picard is too formal, Janeway and Sisko weren't very friendly, and I don't remember Kirk too well. Archer is friendly and curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpyTheFrog Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 Most Mysterious: The Vorlon (Babylon 5) Most Malevolent (Long Term, Not Short Term): The Shadows (Babylon 5) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truscifi Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Most Manipulative: CSM from XFiles Most Humble: Hmm, not sure on this one. Best Leader: Capt. Picard Most Skeptical: Scully. Hands down. Best Sense of Humor: Capt. Mal Favorite Alien Species: I'm going back to my childhood on this one - Ewoks Favorite Alien Character: The Doctor. He is an alien, after all. Most Realistic Show: BSG – the reboot. The original is pretty cheesy. Least Realistic Show: There are so many. Sigh. Scariest Aliens: The Weeping Angels. Followed by the Wraith. Most Mysterious: The Silence Most Malevolent (Long Term, Not Short Term): The A'shen (sp?) Wow, I probably spent way too much time and energy on that. :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostSurprise Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Most Manipulative: Dr. Smith or Rygel Most Humble: Data Best Leader: Capt.

Mergath Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I'm surprised so many people think the Weeping Angels are scarier than the Vashta Nerada. The Weeping Angels mostly just send you back in time. The Vashta Nerada pretend to be shadows and then eat your face off and reanimate your corpse. I don't know about you all, but I'd MUCH rather be sent back in time. ETA: Oh, and I should throw in mine for the new categories. Most Mysterious: The Silence Most Malevolent: Aliens only, or anyone? Well, either way it's a tie between the Dalek and the Reavers (though the latter aren't technically aliens, of course) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbecueMom Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I'm surprised so many people think the Weeping Angels are scarier than the Vashta Nerada. The Weeping Angels mostly just send you back in time. The Vashta Nerada pretend to be shadows and then eat your face off and reanimate your corpse. I don't know about you all, but I'd MUCH rather be sent back in time. I thought the Weeping Angels were creepy until Angels Take Manhattan. That whole convoluted mess of an episode sort of ruined them for me. I still want to put one in my front yard. ETA: My answers... took a while for me to think/debate with DH about it. Don't throw tomatoes, I haven't gotten through Firefly yet, so I didn't include any of those characters. Most Manipulative: Fifth, the Replicator from SG1. And I would rank The Doctor pretty high in this category, though he usually has good intentions. Not always. Most Humble: Ood Sigma (DW) Best Leader: General Hammond (SG1) or Capt. Picard (ST:TNG) Most Skeptical: Have to agree with Scully here. Best Sense of Humor: Jack O'Neill (SG1). "Window of Opportunity" is probably the funniest episode of any show ever, mostly because of Jack. Favorite Alien Species: The Ood (DW) Favorite Alien Character: Teal'c (SG1) or The Doctor Most Realistic Show: Battlestar Galactica (new series) Least Realistic Show: Also have to agree with Stargate Atlantis. It got a bit more ridiculous over time. I also used to argue with DH a lot over the overly unrealistic plot devices in Sanctuary. Scariest Aliens: I was always creeped out by the Replicators from SG1. Most Mysterious: Whatever that creepy parroting possessing thing was in the Doctor Who episode "Midnight". Most Malevolent (Long Term, Not Short Term): Individual? Ba'al (SG1). Race/species? Daleks (DW). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mergath Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Favorite Alien Species: I don't know, but it's not the Ood (Doctor Who) because they creep me out. What??? Didn't you see the episode where they go to the Ood homeworld? They're like weird, singing hippies. I thought everybody loved the Ood.

JumpyTheFrog Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 Most Malevolent (Long Term, Not Short Term): The A'shen (sp?) I was just thinking about them yesterday, not in relation to my post. I remember they ended the fertility of humans. Were they trying to take over the planet in a century or less, without war?

LostSurprise Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Did you know the same actress played Rousseau in Lost? Yes, I watched an entire season just hoping to see her.

Cinder Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 What??? Didn't you see the episode where they go to the Ood homeworld? They're like weird, singing hippies. I thought everybody loved the Ood. Actually I didn't love them at first but they do sort of grow on you. My favorite: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinder Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Ok here's my vote, though my sci-fi watching is limited to Star Trek, TNG, Doctor Who, Firefly and Star Wars. Most Manipulative: Lwaxana Troi (TNG) Most Humble: Rory from Doctor Who Best Leader: Capt Picard--maybe not the best, but my favorite Most Skeptical: Ro Laren (TNG) or Zoe (Firefly) Best Sense of Humor: Captain Jack Harkness (Doctor Who) Favorite Alien Character: Yoda Scariest Aliens: the alien from Alien Most Malevolent: the tar thing that killed Tasha Yar in TNG and the Reavers (Firefly) Most Annoying: Wesley Crusher and Q (TNG) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I haven't seen the current season of Doctor Who yet. The link in my post above is one of the one-minute prequel episodes for the latest season. See them here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were they trying to take over the planet in a century or less, without war? Yep, that was the plan. I picked them because they were so sneaky and backhanded, disguising their method of destruction as help for the poor technologically inferior humans.

theYoungerMrsWarde Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 (List made by both Mrs. & Mr. Warde) Most Manipulative: a Goa'uld (they take you over completely!) or Caprica Six Most Humble: Jewel Staite (we couldn't decide between Kaylee or Jenifer Keller) Best Leader: Captain Mal Most Skeptical: Rodney McKay Best Sense of Humor: Teal'c: "...The Setesh guard's nose...drips." :D Favorite Alien Species: Changelings/shape-shifters Favorite Alien Character: Dh says Teal'c, I say Worf or Quark Most Realistic Show: Battlestar Galactica Least Realistic Show: Warehouse 13 Scariest Aliens: Dh agrees with the aliens from Alien. (Revers scare me the most, but they're not aliens.) Most Mysterious: The Furlings: because we know their name and have seen their written language but we never get to learn anything else about them! Most Malevolent (Long Term, Not Short Term): Love the A'shen as an answer for this one. :) Most Annoying: Luxanna Troy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I talk to the trees Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Do you remember your high school yearbook having senior superlatives (best smile, most athletic, etc)?

Palpatine/ Darth Sidious (Star Wars) Most Humble: Kryten (Red Dwarf) Best Leader: Picard (ST:TNG) Most Skeptical: Spock (ST) Best Sense of Humor: Lister (Red Dwarf) Favorite Alien Species: The Q (ST:TNG) Favorite Alien Character: The Doctor (all regenerations) Most Realistic Show: Star Trek: Enterprise Least Realistic Show: Doctor Who (Old) Feel free to add your own categories. I agree with a PP: The thing in the New Who episode "Midnight" just gave me the willies! So there's another vote for scariest alien. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
