It only lasted for a season though. There's also a movie related to it. Serenity.

Btw, is the DVD Collector's Edition of Serenity really 187 minutes? The BD indicates only 119 minutes.

Odyssey 5: Though it was cancelled, so the plot is left hanging...
Invasion (also cancelled before its time)

Fringe

Taken
Planet of The Apes

BTW, if anyone is interested in buying (not downloading) Firefly, it's $19.99 ngayon sa Amazon. Cheap.

No. The Serenity 2-Disc Collector's Edition is only 119 minutes. Amazon got it wrong.

Yes. Serenity was the movie made after Firefly was prematurely cancelled. Go finish the series, Firefly, first before watching Serenity.

LOL, I loved that show, but it wasn't for everyone though.

How many Ghost In The Shell (GITS) are there? Ive watched GITS 2.0, GITS 2.0 Innocense and GITS S.A.C Individual Eleven.

Anya highly recommended.

Battlestar Galactica - ka-re-resume lang ng Season 4
Firefly
Eureka
non-fiction - The Universe
para sa bata - Justice League

That's pretty much it. Ghost in the Shell has two versions(2D and 3D), a sequel (Innocence) and a TV series (Standalone Complex).

Don't forget Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex: Solid State Society.

X44 · « **Reply #18 on:** Jan 20, 2009 at 12:37 PM »

Yup the spinoff film of the TV series.

Individual Eleven, incidentally, are remixed episodes of the second season.

Since anime scifi has been touched on. I highly recommend Ergo Proxy. Again, this series may be considered as boring by many people. But this is well written sci fi sh it.

ralfy · « **Reply #20 on:** Jan 20, 2009 at 01:53 PM »

Some of those that you mentioned are quite good. Also, the early Doctor Who, Sapphire and Steel, the original Survivors, the original Star Trek, and U.F.O..

X44 · « **Reply #21 on:** Jan 20, 2009 at 02:46 PM »

Ahh yes, UFO. That's a classic. Stryker rocks. I must catch up on early Dr. Who. But the current seasons, starting with the Eccleston version, are by far the finest shortform sci fic TV out there. It and Battlestar Galactica - - -the only ones you need to watch. And if we must add anime as a third tentpole - -- Cowboy Bebop, watch it before Keanu Reeves ruins it in the forthcoming live-action remake.
