X : What is the greatest sci-fi film or TV show ever produced? Star Trek? Star Wars? Dr Who? BSG? Matrix? HHGTTG?
Me : Gosh, that's a really really tough one. I can't decide whether it's Firefly or Serenity. Is it Serenity then Firefly or Firefly then Serenity. Poll time ...

Oh, what am I talking about.

The hero of Canton, the man they call Jayne -

It has to be Firefly.

X : What is the worst Sci-Fi film or TV show ever produced?
Me : Now that's easy. Suits.
X : Isn't that a legal drama?
Me : It's a post "failed invasion" tale about a species of vacuous and infantile perfect human clones trying to hide out in an extremely tedious law firm.

Entire episodes can be taken up with soul searching questions like "Should I wear Jimmy Choo?" or "Do I go to the ballet or opera?" ... it's mind numbing stuff. If you can get through several episodes they apparently send you a medal plus an invite to take "The Tudors" challenge.

Of course, "The Tudors" is real hardcore, not to be trifled with. You need extensive training to get through a single episode without ripping your face off and burning the house down. I don't know anyone who has actually managed to survive it.
