    DSN blew. The only thing that made it look good was Voyager.

    Incorrect....DSN was the best. Voyager would contend for the silver medal.

    Ok it is bad enough you think DSN was the best, I can overlook that. Voyager comes second? Tsk tsk.

    I'll be honest, I liked the Star Wars prequels better than the originals. And I grew up a Star Wars fan.


    The best movie ever, hands down, is 2001 A Space Odyssey. The story is extremely deep, the effects still look good 40 years later, and it pretty much made every sci-fi movie before it look ridiculous.

    I now know one more movie that doesn't belong on this list..."Mission to Mars"....what an all-star cast in a turkey of a movie.....watched on Encore last night....wish I had that hour or so back. :rolleyes:

    I can't stand the three new ones. I even like Return Of The Jedi better than any of them. To each their own though.

    I saw it in the perfect situation...on the big screen, in my hometown, for free, with Keir Dullea in attendance...I still didn't love it as many folks do. While I thought some scenes were amazing, overall I find it overrated. My favorite Kubrick film is Dr. Strangelove: Or How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.

    The X Files. I'm not a sci-fi fan but The X Files was my favourite TV show ever.
