This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Entertainment Weekly makes some good calls, but totally blows a few others.  Go give 'em hell, nerds!

Heroes and Lost made the list only because they are current Flavors of the Month.  Five, ten years from now, no one will be talking about them.

Battlestar Galactica (the recent iteration) made the list at too high of a ranking -- again the Flavor of the Month effect.  I think it deserved to make the list, though.

Only Star Trek: tNG made the list, and none of the later series.  Good.

Only the first two Terminator movies, and none of the later sequels.  Good.

The Matrix at No. 1?  Hmm...maybe.  Okay.

!i!

I bet it doesn't have the only true sci-fi shows that creatively used pencil sharpeneners and iron handles (the household appliance, not the metal itself). I really can't stand those ad-whore lists, who insist on putting every single item on a page. Someone care to post the total list?

Well...uh...see, Pathfinder, the list was for the 25 best SF films and shows of the past 25 years, as in "from 1982 until today".  So...Trek...um...

WTF kind of crack are you smoking that you'd put that above DS9?

Well, they did include Dr. Who and there were TOS movies after '82...

Edit: And yep, Wrath of Khan was actually included.

Dude, guilty pleasure as it once was for me, even I can admit that SG-1 really just isn't that great.  It was decent for syndicated schlock in it's middle years, but it hasn't been good in a long time, what with SciFi doing it's level best to run it into the ground.
