Firefly is definitely one of the best sci show to come around and it got canned :madashell: very annoying so glad they got the movie to finish off the story but would of liked it as a Tv show, it was literally a space western.
Other great shows I loved were X-files (for the most part), Due South, Quantum Leap and Sliders great fun tv. Oh and of course Babylon 5.
Dont get me wrong I think newer shows are definitely a lot clever and maybe couldn't get away with the plot holes that some series have had, they are also starting to look as good as mini movies just look at 24 and Heroes some of the special effects are pretty stunning.
But I do have a problem with most of these new shows, is too many have gone the 24 root and have a complete series to tell a stories it ok if the writers can really think of clever plot and stories that can last a season or more but most them I feel would work much better as three or four part stories, I think star trek enterprise final season was so clever to go that root, tell longer stories but conclude them in sensible period dont stretch it out, Lost and Flashforward proved you can only hold the stories and plot for so long I wish more shows when this root mainly becuse too many show force you to commit to watching every single ep to get whats going on, how shows like this expect to bring in new audience mid way though the season i dont know.
