Most of the gods (ok, excluding some small ones like er.. Om?) were more popular than him, and during far more time.

If George RR Martin was Santa, all we'd ever hear is "Christmas is coming" without I ever happening.

He delivered unrealistically quickly.

Sherlock Holmes. Duh. Think of how many other shows on television have him show up during their series. Everything from Bewitched to Star Trek have episodes where they run into Sherlock Holmes. Even if a show doesn't have him show up 'in person', if they have a show where some detective work is done the person…

No one taught us more about ourselves than the one who wanted to be us.

Wait, wait, Utopia is getting a second series? High-pitched scream of unbridled joy!

I came here hoping to see this. Thank you for adding it!

This. Intelligent, well-filmed/edited, sometimes pretty disturbing and goes from being funny to harrowing very, very quickly, great characters - and you never know where it's going half the time. Probably my favourite show this year.

I'd add on Life On Mars to that list: it involves time travel, sort of. Outcasts is also quite good.

So many folks of the modern era. I think Sci-fi was saved far before that by this person:

90% of the time, people infected remain asymptomatic through their lifetime. That's the current rate, earlier on it may have been different. Even those with an active infection can live for several years.

Sigh.

...and God knows we wouldn't want them to take any of the money they sink into those wonderful SyFy Original Movies just to do such a silly thing as keeping a great series on the air. Because that would be stupid.

Yeah. I think it could a really long BBC serial like on PBS;stopping every now and the for 'event' movies for Feanor,Hurin,Tinuviel,,etc. with big name directors like Jackson.

The Silmarillion. And it should be BBC. Americans would just screw it up.
