I have to vote for Star Trek. From The Original Series to Voyager, and then back to Enterprise (not to mention the various book series), there’s a richness to the Star Trek univerese that allows many different approaches, yet there remains a cohesiveness through it all.
Lord of the Rings runs a very close second – only because it is limited to Tolkien’s work. But that’s A GOOD THING. I don’t want anybody else building on it.
Agreed about Lord of the Rings. And Narnia. Whenever I saw “new” books tying in to the Narnia movies, it always bothered me. Some things work best with a singular vision behind them. Some things (like Trek) thrive under a community vision.
Personally, I probably enjoy the Star Wars series the most. And, yes, I appreciate the prequels, but the original trilogy is really what it’s all about!
I understand there is a lot of ground that Star Trek has to move around on, but I always felt that each series was geared more for science-minded crowds, whereas Star Wars has the ability to appeal more to broader audiences. Just my perspective.
I feel like on principle, I should enjoy Narnia or even LOTR more, but even though I may appreciate their spirituality more than in Star Wars, I guess the original trilogy just has a little bit more spark to it.
Wow. I’ve got several. Loved Star Trek – especially Next Gen and Voyager. Currently love the SyFy Network’s Warehouse 13, Eureka, and Sanctuary. I also was a big fan of Stargate SG1 and Firefly. As you can tell I am a total geek. (At least I don’t speak Klingon.) BUT my all time favorite has to be LOST.
sandy, I haven’t followed any of the newer SyFy shows — canceling Stargate really soured me on SyFy. I guess I shouldn’t be like that … I’ve heard they are pretty good shows, and I really want to check out Eureka. That was cancelled too, right?
Brandon, I totally get what you mean. I didn’t vote for Narnia or LOTR either, but when I put together this poll they were two of the titles that first came to mind. Although, as a comic book guy, I almost feel like I should have voted Marvel or DC on principle. Different principle, though!
Yeah Ben but I felt like the DC and Marvel options were a bit unfair. Kind of like saying do you like all of the Sci-fi books published by Harper Collins.
I’m surprised that more didn’t vote for them. Perhaps more would’ve had they been specific: Spiderman…etc.
Love Lord of the Rings and Stargate both stargates sg1 and Atlantis. When they made Stargate Universe they made me mad because it was a bunch of drama hush bosh. Star wars is good but unlike most people i like the first three episodes.Episode 1 was my favorite! I thought Dr. Who might have gotten more votes.
I actually like all four Stargate series . . . SG-1, Atlantis, Universe, and “the Farscape years” (I consider seasons 9 and 10 of SG-1 to be a completely different series).
Episode 1 is your favorite? Yes, not many people would agree with you on that! Will you be hitting theaters this weekend to see it in 3-D?
Dr. Jayce, as for Marvel and DC being unfair options — unlike “Harper Collins sci-fi”, they are meant to be cohesive universes, with story lines that refer not only to their deep past, but to the other titles. Just like Star Trek, only on a decades long monthly schedule.
