Well, we saw what “could have been” in 13 episodes with Firefly. A not very interesting sci-fi series devoid of ideas beyond the ‘wild west in space’ concept, with characters who all talk and act alike.

Heh. I love both Babylon 5 and Firefly as well as Farscape, Stargate, all the Star Trek and Dr. Who incarnations, the old and new Battlestar Gallacticas, Red Dwarf, and even Blake’s 7. Each one has its own personality and quirks, but I can’t get enough of them. The newest ones I’m following are Killjoys and Dark Matter. Sci-fi forever!

I like most of those too. Bab5 will always be my favorite, though.
If I had to rate them, Farscape would be first and Babylon 5 second.

I suppose I’m more of a “hard” science fiction fan, although I love westerns. I like the big ideas in SF, ideas about the future, what life will be like, how technology could change us. and Firefly didn’t seem to have much of that.
The hard fact is that it doesn’t matter how much technology there is that may change the way we live & ‘operate’, human nature itself will never change therefore it will not change us! (I thought Firefly did a good job of getting that across!) Also Firefly does offer a vision of the future.
On the Sci-Fi front I loved the old series’ of Battlestar Galactica & Star Trek!
I much prefer Sci Fi films & TV series to Sci-Fi games for the most part!

What about The Expanse? Heard good things about it
Hoping Farscape shows up on Netflix or something, liked the few episode I watched nut could never follow.
Best scifi show was Futurama 
The second trailer for season 7 of Game of Thrones was just amazing. Extremely looking forward to this one! Still my most anticipated series of the year.
I’m also looking forward to watch season 3 of Narcos, which should start somewhen soon. Not sure how the show is gonna feel like without Escobar, focussing on the Cali kartel instead. However, I feel like the creators have proven their qualities with the first two seasons. Having said that, I have a certain hope that they’ll come up with something good.
Now playing: GreedFall, Control
Recently finished: Telling Lies, The Sinking City
What about The Expanse? Heard good things about it
I missed the beginning episodes because of some conflict or other and never got to watch it. I’m hoping they’ll rerun it before the next season starts.

The Expanse is Great - IMO the best sci-fi in a long time, but as a fan of the books I might be biased 
It even features a more or less realistic space battle, and is very much the hard sci-fi that BitingWit is looking for.
And Farscape WAS actually on Netflix until recently, that is where I watched it, but it seems to be gone now.
On the topic on best sci-fi series, my personal favorites are Farscape, Red Dwarf and of course Dr. Who. (was never a fan of Battlestar Gallactica)

It depends what you mean by human nature. In the most basic sense I agree with you that technology doesn’t change us, but then again it changes a lot. For example how farming changed the way we live, how phones and computers changed how we communicate. How meeting aliens might change how we see ourselves. So what I want in sci-fi is exploring possibilities for the future, rather than just the same old “action series in space”.
However, I am not looking for a new series to watch Iznogood. But thanks all the same!
Castlevania is really cool, short but fun, better adaptation than most movies. Want to see second season since it ended on a cliffhanger. Hope Warren Ellis stays writing.
A reminder that Game of Thrones is restarting this weekend! Battle of the queens is about begin
So the next Dr Who is…...
Jodie Whittaker from Broadchurch. First woman to play the part
An adventure game is nothing more than a good story set with engaging puzzles that fit seamlessly in with the story and the characters, and looks and sounds beautiful.
Roberta Williams
That the actress from Attack the Block and The Smoke?
Could be interesting. Should be very different from Capaldi as well…

Maybe this time I can be strong, but since I know who I am, I’m probably wrong. Maybe this time I can go far, but thinking about where I’ve been ain’t helping me start. - Michael Kiwanuka
Isn’t Broadchurch with David Tennant? It’s all connected!
Known her from Attack on the Block and that cool Black Mirror episode, seems like good choice (but I’m still way behind on Doctor Who)

I’m way behind, too, but I’m not sure about a female playing the part. It’ll be interesting to see the transition and how she handles the role.
