The first is by far my favourite, partly because Atlantis (as in the "Stargate" version) sprang to mind immediately when I saw it.

Ah, the female Doctor rumour raises its head once again. I'll believe it is going happen when it's officially announced (provided it's not on 1st April) and not a moment before.

I wish that the Sixth Doctor had strangled Mel instead. That would hopefully that shut her up.

Yes. "Stargate" is one of the least nationalistic military science fiction franchises of which I'm aware and even it was quite nationalistic in its earlier days as regards how untrustworthy the Russians were.

Cooking a meal and cheating on a diet is more bizarre than driving to someone's house and murdering them?

Couldn't agree more. Along with "The Day the Earth Stood Still" and "Them!", it's one of my favourite 1950s sci-fi films.

Were his ancestors Captain Present, Captain Recent Past, Captain Distant Past and Captain Last Glacial Period?

Farscape was "the first scifi series (Buffy notwithstanding) which employs a modern and TV and culture-savvy hero, with whom the audience frequently sympathizes via shared media references."

Just looked up "Werewolf" on IMDB and apparently the series' main director was none other than James Darren, best known to different people for various different film and television roles but to me he'll always be Vic Fontaine in the last two seasons of DS9.

I've been looking for another short-lived cult classic series to obsess over. I think that I've found a few candidates here.

"If you’re not watching Awake, you’re the reason TV sucks."

He has managed to appear in at least one film every year from 1948 to 2012 except for 1995 and 2006 and is in the Guinness Book of Records for the most film acting roles ever (even more than Mickey Rooney who has been acting more or less continuously since 1926) so it's not as if he's been short of work. If more…

People should read the Christopher Lee part of the article more carefully. It didn't say that he played Magneto in "X-Men" and the title character in "Dr. No". It said that he failed to get those roles.

That was better than any scene that they actually left in the film.

Four of these films were made in the past ten years. Bit too much "recentism", methinks.

Nor could I. Not the best list overall.

I'd say that "Firefly" is the most overrated sci-fi series in history. I adore "Buffy" and "Angel" though.

"Planet of the Apes" (the original, needless to say) is the best science fiction film ever made as far as I'm concerned. As with "Firefly", I found "Serenity" to be fairly meh so my list of sci-fi films better than it would be much longer.

Wasn't too gone on that one myself, if I'm honest. I thought that it was good but nothing to write home about really.

I've always felt that "Blink" is perhaps the most overrated "Doctor Who" story of all time. I mean, it is a very good story but there are plenty that I'd rate above it. It's not even in my Top 20 (from both the classic and the revived series).
