A moment for nerdery

Couldn't help but comment on the top 50 sci-fi shows of all time. Yes, I went through all of them.

Clearly the list was put together haphazardly. Among other things, Sliders appears twice. I hope the higher spot was meant to go to DS9, which didn't even appear on the list. DS9, at least the latter seasons (four and five) is definitely top ten, well ahead of Voyager which consistently sucked and was a profound disappointment. Personally, I would have put Voyager much farther down the list. DS9, on the other hand, had very good writing (again, at least at the end), and some of those shows were watchable even to those who aren't sci-fi inclined.

I'm glad to see Babylon 5 given an appropriate nod. Other than the new Battlestar Galactica, which is amazing and will be very difficult to top, it's the best sci-fi show I've ever seen. I was very sorry it ended, and I keep waiting for them to make a decent movie based on it. There keep being rumors, but they never quite pan out. They made a movie out of Firefly (Serenity)...why can't they make a Babylon 5 movie?

(Okwui will be glad to note that Quantum Leap was given an appropriate nod as well)
