If anyone who like Farscape,Andromeda or Firefly would surely enjoy on level the aesthetic of this show.
However...to think about it...the one sci fi show..if you can it mirror most... Mystery Science Theater 3000. Now now I know it sounds like madness you will see.
It was very dark , very weird and very perverse, However it was very good very funny and very entertaining.
I give you LEXX.
There is just so much to say to explain LEXX.
I will let LEXX himself explain.
It was an absolutely fantastic series, It had a number of well known actors pass through. Malcom Mcdowel and Tim Curry. Tim Curry's part as the Poet it was fantastic.
Another great Sci fi was
Space above and beyond.
The best thing to say it is akin to, is Babylon5 meets Startship troopers.
A pretty poor trailer however shows you what it is like. It is from 1995 so it was before Starship Troopers boomed onto movie screens.
CMON PEOPLE!! Their drill sergeant was the most icon Drill Sergeant! Gunny R. Lee Ermey!!
The series is about humans being at war with an unknown alien race, one of their long range colonies was newly established only to be bombed and burned by the unknown enemy and soon followed was other outer colonies being attacked and completely eradicated.
We follow mainly West, who signs up for the Marines to find out what happened to his fiancee who was on the colony mission when it was attacked by the "Chiggs" he too was supposed to be on board however an error occurred and wasn't allowed on. With West purely wanting to get out onto the frontlines and more so only get to the colony and find the fate of his fiancee means he isn't realy in it for the fight, and he isn't in it for friends.
Going through boot camp he meets the people who will be his squad mates and each one has their own shadows and reasons for joining the marines.
This is just a great Sci fi series, filled with awesome action sequences, intrigue, story lines and character development.
And it is from the producer from the X-Files apparently?
Who is the one man....the one man you think should be in the ocean? The one man that has faced off against a GIANT SHARK!!
Sci Fi series Seaquest DSV Not Ryan Seacrest! ROY SCHEIDER!! When they said "Your gonna need a bigger boat!" He got one! A giant submarine!
By the mid-21st Century, humankind has colonized the oceans and formed the UEO--the United Earth Oceans--as a military organization to police it. Formerly a high-ranking member of the UEO, Nathan Bridger retired after the death of his wife, and retreated to an isolated island to study dolphins. An attempt is made to hijack the Seaquest DSV, the UEO's most powerful undersea vessel, and Nathan--its original designer--is convinced to return to active service, to assume command of it. His second in command is Cmdr. Jonathan Ford. In second season, the DSV added Dagwood, a prototype GELF (Genetically Engineered Life Form), Tony Piccolo, a man with surgically implanted gills, and Dr. Wendy Smith, a telepath/empath, to its crew of specialists. The series has New Age leanings, often presenting stories that deal with environmental issues or mix myth and mysticism--from ghosts to "gods"--into its science fiction.
It ran for a lot of years with a number of known names being involved.
This series is important to ANY Stargate SG1 fans. Why? This is a huge influence on the Deluise brothers who became director and producers for SG1 and the following series's after. It does feel alot like Stargate so it shouldn't be alien to any SG1 fans. I urge a watch.
DSV had Steven Spielberg down as executive producer. which leads nicely too!
Steven Spielberg's Taken. A realy great mini series.
Taken spans five decades and four generations, centering on three families: the Keys, Crawfords, and Clarkes. World War II veteran Russell Keys is plagued by nightmares of his abduction by aliens during the war; the Roswell incident transforms Owen Crawford from ambitious Air Force captain to evil shadow government conspirator; the unhappily married Sally Clarke is impregnated by an alien visitor. As the decades go by, the heirs of each are affected by the machinations of the aliens, culminating with the birth of Allie Keys, who is the final product of the aliens' experimentation and holds the key to their future.
Another Sci-fi series that is of note,Is Dark Skies. Not to be mixed up with the recent Falling Skies.
20th century history as we know it is a lie. Aliens have been among us since the 1940's, but a government cover-up has prevented the public from knowing this. As the series progresses, we follow John Loengard and Kim Sayers as they attempt to thwart numerous plans of the alien Hive, most of which are tied to historical events and figures. In addition, the pair must stay one step ahead of a covert government agency, Majestic-12, tasked with fighting the aliens while maintaining the conspiracy of silence.
So that alone has MJ-12 for Duex fans it rings with, and with the upcoming Xcom what better series you watch?
There was also the weird Sci fi comedy series from Rob Grant.
The Strangerers.
A scifi comedy written by Rob Grant and broadcast on Sky One.
Three alien agents which are incredibly advanced and evolved vegetables on a mission to Earth take on human form. They are mistakenly abandoned, and their supervisor is accidentally decapitated. The two surviving agents must learn how to survive among humans.
It was a weird short series, funny none the less.
The outer limits from the 90s was always something worth to watch. So many great short stories in that series.
Space Precinct anyone? I watched as child...I sorta say no. However this is what happens when Gerry Anderson is given live action people to put into a show. Why do I say that because it was Gerry Anderson! The man behind such famous Puppet tv shows as Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet, Jo 90 and other.
HOWEVER!! Alien Nation!
Based off the movie Alien Nation, it is just a nice little show.
Should watch the movie first I think.
The TV serise.
Ill stop it now. I donno how peoples internet will take to all these videos.
