The Campaign Builder's Guild

I watched Sliders when it was originally on but never got into it when the Sci-Fi channel revived it.

I like early Stargate SG-1.

I love all things Babylon 5.

Firefly is amazing. 'nuff said.

I also have been enjoying me some Doctor Who but I would consider that more fantasy as it tend to completely ignore logical science.

Firefly... Why did they have to cancel that show?  loved it...

I thought Firefly was too western.  Never been a western fan.

Is the remake of B5 any good?  I've never seen any of them, old or new.

Firefly was canceled because Fox put it in a bad time slot with heavy competition and aired the episodes out of order. It never had the chance to build a large fan base.

There are no B5 remakes....

I don't really get why Companies air episodes out of order. Cartoon Network is doing that with 6teen... its so annoying.

Because they're run by execs who have no idea that some shows have continuity.

Sign of a good show: When it can build a fanbase large enough for a movie DESPITE all that shit.

Indeed. If Fox were willing to release the rights, the Sci Fi channel wanted to bring the show back. Of course, Fox was making too much money off of DVD sales to do that. Bastards.

The comics are almost as good as the show, though. They just don't come out often enough.

And yet they wouldn't buy Enterprise even though the last season redeemed, in my eyes, then entire series (except the last episode, which was (I suppose) meant to feel epic and cyclical but utterly, utterly failed).

Wait, I thought B5 had a remake?  Wasn't the original a 70s or 80's show?

That's Battlestar Galactica.

You're right, silly me.  Any good?

But, you see, there were probably many people like me that watched the first season of that show with high hopes and, when those hopes were ripped apart, stopped watching regularly. In my case, even the later episodes I did see didn't catch my interest. I wouldn't have watched it on the Sci-Fi channel, either. If you drive away your audience early, you're doomed.

The new Battlestar Galactica is excellent (at least up to the third season, which I have yet to see), actually. I'm a fan of the old one, too. I used to watch it every day after school, until it was replaced by B5...then I watched that.
