    I'm always reluctant to tell people to watch it, knowing they will see that episode first and probably never talk to me again. So I always tell them not to watch the first episode first Lol.

    I would have voted Alien Nation as one of the Top shows if they made a list of the greatest Sci Fi TV series of the past 30 years.

    Quantum Leap (1989-1993) is a huge omission if they consider the alternate timeline/reality/history show The Man in the High Castle as Sci Fi.

    I want to say that's because it's more than 25 years old? But it was on at about the same time as Babylon 5, so...

    Best on that list (besides the X Files, of course): Rick and Morty - smarter than just about any other three shows put together. Black Mirror at its best is also awesome. But an earlier show by Charlie Brooker (featuring now-famous Riz Ahmed) deserves including - Dead Set. It's zombies, but so is The Walking Dead. And I haven't seen it, but isn't the Strain supposed to be good? Likewise The Leftovers? And what about Legion? Also Star Trek Voyager had its moments.

    We don't have cable (we're "cord cutters") and occasionally tune to something called Comet-TV, which has Mystery Science Theater 3000 and occasional cool movies like Invasion of the Body Snatchers, but they're ALWAYS showing fucking Stargate, and it's TOTAL SHITE. The worst acting I have ever seen. How what's his name (Game of Thrones, new Aquaman)'s career survived being on that show bemuses me.

    My favorites:
    1. Battlestar Galactica
    2. X-Files
    3. Dr Who
    4. Deep Space
    5. Fringe
    6. Lost
    7. Sliders (it's shitty, but I love it)
    8. Star trek Voyager


    There are others that contain some elements of sci-fi but I wouldn't classify them as such, like Futurama and Stranger Things.

    Stranger Things should be there. Sure it's a little bit horror-y but you can be both, and it's all about "interdimensional" shit.

    And if having "sci fi" elements makes it count, then Fargo season 2 should count as well.

    You're probably correct about Stranger Things. I can't put it on my list yet for one great season. If season 2 is as good or better, it instantly goes up in my top 3.

    He had one speaking role on each series, but he appeared as an extra (often in alien makeup) several times on both shows.
