Damn man Picard, you write really well! You should really write a review or two..

Thanks, I wrote two already but Kosta deemed one of the games to bad to put on the site. I can't blame him it was a stinker.

Right now I'm working on the review of Star Trek: 25th Anniversary. I hope to have that finished early next week.

Farscape might be good, but far from TNG. :wink:
TNG is in a league of it's own and a quasi-sentimental Farscape review is not going to change that.
Sorry, but the number of fans the series has is argument enough.

TNG is in a league of it's own

Now that is exactly my point. Star Trek in general and TNG in particular is all about exploration of the human hart while Farscape (and most other sci fi series) is about the exploration of space. Comparing the two is difficult if not impossible. Ranking one above the other can only be done when setting a bar from which to compare them. I choose sci fi as that bar. I stand by my opinion.
Saying that one series has more fans then the other proves only which series is more popular not which is the better one. The are quite a few more people who buy AC/DC albums then there are Beethoven fans. Still few people would argue about who the bigger musical genius was/is.

It has been some time since I watched it, but I like Stargate, I was never really interested in Star Trek, and all the other series are unknown to me. :P

Actually, if a series is much more popular there's a good chance it's the better one. It's the vote of majority.
Talking from a sci-fi perspective, TNG is much more elaborated on technical stuff, has detailed history, lenguages, sistems, and IS about exploration.
Beethoven or AC/DC was a wrong argument. I'm not sure if AC/DC has more records sold, but try to imagine how many people will listen to them in 200 years. Beethoven will certainly have the same popularity and that proves my point. Some things become classics and Star Trek is one of them.

Forgot to log in on the last post.

Don't ask me, I haven't heard of any of 'em .

It's a pity that Babylon 5 hasn't got any votes It deserves some, at least the first episodes where very good

[The Niles]

Yeah Babylon 5 deserves a vote. It brought epic story telling to Sci Fi television and even though it never inspired many other series (Space: Above and Beyond and Farscape to some extend) it marks a watershed in Sci Fi history.

A bit of info about Babylon 5... If i remember correctly in the first episodes at least the graphics were made by a Amiga 4000, or so i had heard at that time but i don't know if this is true
