Re:Best Sci Fi Ever? Nah! That would be: Firefly! (Score 1)

I'm a big fan of the "near future" space genre. Another show I remember fondly was Space:above and beyond, which had a fairly short life on fox in the early 90's. I'm not sure if it stands the test of time, but I remember loving the boxy/square capital ships. No magical shields. The "bad guys" were mysterious and acted completely alien -which aliens should do-. And enjoyed how they current day plot lines i.e. racism, into the story arc. E.g. There were serious racial problems between the humans, and the "cloned human soldiers". Pretty cool stuff! Wish there was a box set or even a torrent I could find this stuff at. Also, if you're into that sort of sci-fi, there's a series of books called "the gap" by Stephen R. Donaldson which are just incredible! And they only get better from book to book! W00t!
