OK.

Now to the questions that truly matter:

Which one is the best #SciFi #TV series ever?

[dale@berlin.social]

@mina
Not sure about "best" (based on which metric). Contenders would arguably be also i.e. Battlestar Galactica (the remake), Babylon 5, X-Files, Outer Limits, ...

Though, if I had to pick one, definitely, Red Dwarf, best ever.

And runner-up... Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex

@DaLe

The metric is what you define it to be.

But thank you for putting one more on my to watch list (Red Dwarf).

@mina dropping some runner ups
Blake's 7
Space 1999

@mina
In that case, certainly Red Dwarf. It does not have elaborate space battles, etc. But it does have e.g. a scene with a talking toaster

Though genre-wise, I am more into cyber-punkish GITS:SAC - it touches on quite a number of topics, which seem to become more relevant still in our life-time.

Blake's 7, I don't know (yet):

OMG - How much did I love Space 1999 as a kid!

[mina@berlin.social]

@DaLe

I don't need space battles (or fist fight) to love a show.

I'm gonna watch the trailer in a minute.

@mina @DaLe I can warmly recommend Red Dwarf. It is absurd and very funny.
