Re: What is everyone's favorite scifi this year?
i really liked travellers season 3. Just finished it. It's definitely one of the different kind of scifi shows where the scifi is more in the background of the characters.

Re: What is everyone's favorite scifi this year?Just to give you the best and the worst this year: Re: What is everyone's favorite scifi this year?Travelers. Re: What is everyone's favorite scifi this year?I've heard nothing but great things about Travelers, which is why I mentioned it earlier in such high regards. I may have to readjust my selections before the year is out. I'll know soon enough. And to think that I have three full seasons to binge, up next in my queue. I get goosebumps just thinking about it.

Yep, just binge watched S03. 31 2018-12-16 20:02:03 (edited by MeDumbDuck 2018-12-16 20:03:36)Re: What is everyone's favorite scifi this year?scorpius074 wrote:
The malevolent computer is represented by a glowing eye, like in 2001. The "acid trip" from the ending of Space Odyssey is just spliced throughout the series (the super-psychic abilities). Volcryn is the monolith and the Star Gate. The lifeboat is the EVA pod. D'Bran is Bowman. The hominids were the crazies from Eagle16. Nightflyer is Discovery One. Jupiter is Jupiter. "Bowman's bedroom" is D'Bran's home... etc etc... I do give that Rowan is obviously Jack, but there the similarities with the Shining ends. PS. Then again, if your gonna ripoff someone, why not ripoff the best. Kubrick was a genius. Re: What is everyone's favorite scifi this year?MeDumbDuck wrote:
Yeah, Kubrick was a genius which is why you have to laugh at these comparisons and not take them too seriously. I doubt he's rolling in his grave. Thank goodness he turned down directing The Exorcist; otherwise, I guess that would've also been mentioned. It's an insult to Kubrick and his work more than anything else and is more comparable to a terrible parody. And we're not alone because if you Google any of those films along with Nightflyers, you'll get several hits. What are on earth were we thinking? Please accept our apologies, Mr. Kubrick. When shows like this aren’t capable of knocking you flat on your face with style, they’d better have vivid characters and a riveting story to fall back on, and, unfortunately, that wasn't the case here. However, IMO the show did have some pretty good aesthetics and intriguing character concepts. There were also some decent performances, and I thought the show's take on the nature of perception and reality was interesting. Unfortunately, that wasn't enough to keep it afloat and in hindsight, impossible to regain those seven hours of my life back. Re: What is everyone's favorite scifi this year?Nightflyers was truly awful. Just dumb all round. I'd also like to nominate another show for worst sci fi? (was it a sci fi? was more like Neighbours with drugs and mermaids) of the year - Tidelands. Avoid at all costs! Re: What is everyone's favorite scifi this year?pyrron wrote:
Seen a few people mention this, will go check it out. I'd never even heard of it till I read this thread. 35 2018-12-18 08:37:18 (edited by davejo90 2018-12-18 08:42:20)Re: What is everyone's favorite scifi this year?These are what I curently have set on my watchlist. It could be argued that Mars is semi factual rather than fiction, but it is set in the 2040s...so you can make you own mind up on that, I enjoy it anyway.

It's 'less scifi' than the above list though, but was one of my fav shows this year. Preacher was great too, but it's not scifi... but given how f*cked up it is now I wouldn't be suprised if they add scifi next season...

Btw The Rain is not categorized here under Sci-Fi: Re: What is everyone's favorite scifi this year?g371 wrote:
Yeah, waiting for Altered Carbon too! Lot's of potential... curious to see where they go with the story and characters. g371 wrote:

Like it was mentioned earlier, Channel 4 and AMC have yet to order a fourth season of Humans officially. I'm not feeling very optimistic unless Channel 4 in the UK wants to keep it going. That would most likely make it cheap enough for AMC to get on board; clearly, the ratings aren’t incentive enough. It will be most unfortunate if it does indeed get canceled since it closed its stellar third season with a whole string of game-changing scenarios, affirming that a follow-up season would bring us a radically different show. In any event, whatever news lands in my inbox regarding its season four status will be posted in the forum topic. Re: What is everyone's favorite scifi this year?scorpius074 wrote:
Copy all that. Yeah would be a shame, but par for the course as far as entertaining shows getting cancelled, goes. Another one Bites the Dust (probably) , as they say.. Posts: 26 to 44 of 44Forums - Next Episode → TV Show Discussions → What is everyone's favorite scifi this year? |
