Enterprise was PROMISSED to be a dedicated non-politically correct agenda slave. It degenerated into a pc slave quickly and lost all credibility.

(then came to find out the vulcan first officer actress was married to a money man so it became the “his girlfriend is an actress” victim)

[Army Air Corps]

That alone is reason for a TV show.

I had the idea once of a show where the US had become socialist and the government was using the military, even foreign military to track down rebels and knocking down doors in night time raids looking for dissidents and "fundamentalist Christians". One scene I had in mind for the poster was white UN Apache helicopters over the Capitol dome flying the UN flag. Another scene would have had a group of rebels take refuge in a tiny rural town and then it being shelled by the government. I would have called the show Fallen

The Vulcan first officer was the best actor on the show. lol

[BenLurkin]

I liked the episode where she tells a story at dinner about a Vulcan crew shipwrecked on Earth in the 1950s.

[Army Air Corps]

QUARK!

[Dr. Sivana]

Wow. Name two science fiction shows featuring Conrad Janis:

Quark
Mork and Mindy

The Lost Room is a 2006 science fiction television miniseries that aired on the Sci Fi Channel in the United States. The series revolves around the titular room and some of the everyday items from that room which possess unusual powers. The show’s protagonist, Joe Miller, is searching for these objects to rescue his daughter, Anna, who has disappeared inside the Room. Once a typical room at a 1960s motel along U.S. Route 66, the Lost Room has existed outside of normal time and space since 1961, when what is referred to only as “the Event” took place.

The main character ends up with the key after an arrest. His daughter ends up vanishing in the room and the story in the miniseries is the gyrations he goes through to get her back.

‘Space Above and Beyond’ was my very favorite.

[Bullish]

[GeronL]

Dead Like Me was great, should have gone at least another season or so.

[GeronL]

"Mission Genesis" aka "Deep Water Black" was a show with an identity crisis. They didn't know how to be serious and family friendly at the same time.

You can see clips of this goulash TV show on Youtube

Farscape was awesome but at first glance seemed a little overblown with all the Jim Henson space aliens and elaborate sets. So, it took me several seasons to get to the point of actually sitting through an episode, and I was hooked, the scripts and acting are first rate, the Jim Henson work is a visual treat, even locations that are striking. Very unusual storylines at times, startling actually. It was cancelled shortly after I gained an appreciation for it, and that was a pity.

I thought “The Sarah Conner Cronicles” was too whiney. I’m supposed to believe John Conner was a cry baby teen?

I didn’t like the concept of “Enterprise” from the beginning. Totally made up lore and history. Archer the first captain of a warp drive ship? No thanks. Didn’t buy it.

“Space 1999” was good but a BBC show that didn’t get much play in all American markets. Same producers of “UFO” which was pretty good. And of course they first did Thunderbirds! Gerry Anderson and his wife.

I loved “Alien Nation” as a series.

[wally_bert]

As long as it stayed along the lines of season 1. S2 was kind of sad.

[Fledermaus]

LOL. Loved it at first. It’s completely unwatchable now. I got tired of the kids stories.

Robert Culp made that series.

[wally_bert]

Good series.
