Top 25 Sci-fi moments of the past 25 years

Pretty cool, i haven't seen all the films/shows that they mention, i do remember V being on TV and being horrified at alien invaders when i was 5. There review of Battlestar-Gallactica makes me want to go out and buy the first season on dvd.. which is where im headed to now.

My only disappointment to the list was that Back to the Future was not closer to the top 3 ;)

BSG is still on my to-do list.
I must first finish forgetting about the original series, with our blow-dried heroes playing the game in speedos.

I just plowed through season 1 over the weekend. Brilliant. What a great show. I can liken it to a way better Space: Above and Beyond from the mid '90s.. and i LOVED that show. Story line is great, No. 6 is hot, suprises around every turn.

Just got a great deal at Best Buy season 2.0 and 2.5 together for 50 bucks. Looking forward to getting through those too.

Without giving anything away, the season finale of BSG is a pretty amazing SciFi moment. Actually all the season finales of BSG have been pretty amazing.

I love Mystery Science Theaters. They are a natural sleeping pill for me, don't think I've ever been able to finish one. I rented children of men and thought it was more drama then sci-fi then again I just want to rub against Clive Owens furiously!

Just finished BSG 2nd season, goddamn, I didn't even realize that was Lucy Lawless. And Al from Quantum Leap too... I have a bad habit of thinking everyone new that shows up is a Cylon. I suppose thats to be expected though, due to the excellent writing.

That list lost all credibility when it included the retarded little star wars cartoon...

Also what kind of retard puts "children of men" higher than "firefly" or even "starship troopers" for that matter? The film was average at best...

"Lost" higher than "back to the future"?... Where's their office, They need a kicking.

THE NEXT GENERATION EVEN MAKING THE LIST?....WHY DON'T THEY INCLUDE THE FUCKING EWOKS CARTOON AS WELL WHILE THEY ARE AT IT?!!!

I LOVED starship troopers.... man those bugs were awesome!

But Denise Richads might have had something to do with it too.
