Biggest Science Fiction Disappointments!

[Pax]

1. The so-called Sci-Fi Channel
a. Does not show Dr. Who, Blake's 7, Space 1999, or a host of other classic shows.
b. Does show as many badly acted, cheap looking or otherwise unoriginal shows/movies as possible.
c. Cancels shows if they are good.
2. Wingcommander the movie. Could have been so much better.
3. I, Robot. What the **** does this have to do with Asimov's classics? Oh, yeah they both have robots.
4. Starship Troopers. See above.

If I, Robot is any indication, you better hope no one does a Foundation mini. Can you imagine that as an action comedy?

[reds4ever]

I don't know about action comedy, I always though that series was just crying out to be made into a musical.

;O)

1. 5th Season of B5- too bad the plan had to be changed so dramatically
1.1 The cancelation of Crusade
2. The Decline of Star Trek
3. How poor most Phillip K. Dick adaptations are
4. Not enough American interest in the work of Stanislaw lem, except for a poor Solaris expression.

I told all of you it was going to be bad, but did you listen? No.

FireFly being cancelled... thank god it looks like they are doing a movie. Maybe it will do well and they will bring back the series

I don't think that I, Robot was really all that bad. Sure, it was a little absurd at parts, but the main story was very similar to something Asimov might have written (if not actually identical).

As for Firefly, that is a disappointment but all reports suggest the movie is truly great. They're on a contract for three movies, so it's doubtful we'll see a new series any time soon. Still, any Firefly is good.

Thats not really the point though is it? The fact is, he didn't.
