Bad SCI-FI

Andromeda or Star Trek:.*, though I have to say the only bright side was it letting the world know about Jeri Ryan. :thumbsup:

Given the amount of near fatal malfunctions from the holodecks, as well as the creation of psycho AIs which tried to take over the ship (Moriarty), you'd figure they'd decommision the things by now. If the crew needs to relax, just give them games like Pong.

I know I'll get bashed for this, but in a way, Star Trek: The Next Generation. It displayed humanity as a dry, passionless race. The only culture involved Shakespeare and classical music (well, the occasional jazz). A lack of subtley in terms of social messages, a lot of the characters seemed fairly interchangible due to their lack of personality. Pretty much all of the directors managed to get only mediocre performances out of the cast, even out of Patrick Stewart, who is a very good actor. This led to a slightly improved DS9, but then fell back into the other direction with Voyager and Enterprise. The movies Generations and ESPECIALLY Generations continued the vacuumless personalities. First Contact, on the otherhand, allowed the actors to actually ACT, show some characterization, do something other than sit around and praise Shakespeare. The action was good too, though I hate the Borg, but the portrayal of the characters was miles above the tv series.

Unlike the succeeding series, Star Trek didn't really have this problem. Kirk, Spock, and McCoy had very noticably different personalities, they were able to actually get on each others nerves, show a spine, etc. MUCH better. Movies, even the medioce ones, were the better than the Next Generation ones (with the exception of First Contact).

The original Star Trek was bad, though mainly due to an almost complete lack of plot development.

Looking back on the Next Generation, I like it because of all the subplots it allows that portray humanity not as Gene most likely wanted, a perfect utopian future, but instead as an unlikable and freedomless extreme comparable to the warhammer universe. That the original Star Trek was so much different even furthers this idea.

Anyhow, I'd say Lexx was pretty damn bad, though it wasn't intended to be taken seriously. Actually, sci fi in general suck....I mean I'm a geek and love sci-fi, but very little of it even has stories above the average soap opera or crap sitcom.

Oh, and generally I don't like movies with simple names like "Cube" or "Sphere."

I think there was a show called the Raven that sucked.
I liked Brimstone though.

Andromeda, Farscape, and BSG are completely unrealistic. Especially BSG. If they were actual military, I would expect them to act like it. For instance, There's one episode where that asian chick flies into a battle star to set a nuke. Everythings normal until they actaully get around to setting the nuke. First of all, she WALKS around the ship, and takes about 3 min to set the nuke. Then a bunch of her clones show up and she freaks, and barely makes it out alive. If she was military, the nuke would need about ten seconds of work to arm it, and then they would get the hell out of there. Similar to the people in War of the Worlds movie. Big hole in the ground + growing cracks, yet they don't really run until the thing starts shooting people. I for one would have been running my ass off as soon as the earth started to open up.

Dude you took that part in BSG way out of context. At that point in the show, the asian chick (Boomer) was wayy messed up in the head. She was suspecting that she may be a Cylon, not a human as she believe she was her whole life. She was very distraught and was questioning her own existence. How would you feel if you were in that position and you suddenly found yourself surrounded by naked robot clones of yourself?? And have you actually set a military nuke before? How do you know it only takes 10 seconds? That doesn't seem very long to me.

I do completely agree with you about War of the Worlds though.

Edit: I meant Cylons, not aliens

If that was the case, then she souldn't have been assigned for the mission in the first place, which makes her C.O. AND her retarded.

Buck Rodgers is the worst I can remember. I hope they paid Mel Blanc a huge amount of money to do that vile robot voice.

<-BSG fan. OK First Sharon was a Cylon sleeper agent who over-road her original orders to self-destruct when her sabotage mission was complete. At one point she suspected that she was a Cylon. Distraught about possibly causing harm to her human friends she put her pistol in her mouth and pulled the trigger. She flinched and the bullet went through her cheek. She tells everyone that the gun went off while she was cleaning it, but her superiors think it was depression.

After laying around feeling useless for a week Commander Adama offered her the mission to destroy the Cylon base star. The decision was not retarded because if successful she would have a renewed sense of purpose and ?get back in the game?; if it turned out to be a suicide mission, well then she was already prepared to die.

The nuke would not release from the shuttle (Raptor) which is why Boomer had to get out and manually unclamp it. The freak out scene was Sharon getting a firmware upgrade from her fellow Cylons. This is why upon returning to Galactica she shoots Commander Adama in the chest twice. After that she is confused ?Oh my Gods. Who shot Adama??

BSG has so many story layers that you have to watch it from the beginning or read the cliffs. It is complex, not bad.
