Re: Which is the best SciFi series ever?
I haven't seen much of star trek, so I'll have to say Star Wars.

Why? I hate Anakin. watch revenge of the sith.
Btw STAR WARS for me too. I watched all six movies in 2 days a few days back. Previously i had watched only 1 completely and bits of others.
Two things i want to mention:
1> i thought special effects in ep 4, 5, 6 would suck. but i was impressed by what i saw. It could easily be passed of as a late 1990s movie.
2> though luke, leia, hans were all of the later generation, the technology they used was far lesser than that of anakin, obi wan kenobi, yoda, etc. Which was amusing to watch.

The Matrix Trilogy FTW. If we are talking novels, I second Isaac Asimov

Re: Which is the best SciFi series ever?
For me, Star Trek wins hands down. The reason is realism and agelessness. Very little of the science and technology portrayed by even the earliest Star Trek series (1960s) has become outdated. Even the shape of USS Enterprise is ageless.
Others may have reasons for choosing other series. For instance, the Star Wars movies are hugely entertaining, and if you choose them for that reason, fine. I accept that.
However, for those who like realism, there were many flaws in Star Wars even when the first movie was made. People carrying heavy loads by hand in an age when they could flit from star to star at will. Light sabres that can do no more than a samurai sword. Energy-bolt handguns that are no more effective than a .45 pistol. The list goes on and on.
Off-topic here, but among non-series sci-fi, Close Encounters of the Third Kind is one of my top favourites.

Re: Which is the best SciFi series ever?
Movies only?? I'd have to say Star Trek, if only because the series was way more creative than gay-ass Star Wars..."OMG! He's got a lightsaber! That is so cool...OH NOES! NOW ITS TWO!! WOW...Lucas is 'leet!!" I find very annoying.
However, with star trek, I dont like the movies...Star Trek's original TV series was waaaay better as far as Science Fiction is concerned. It certainly defined the genre...

totally agree. Actually most of the technology we use everyday has been inspired by Star Trek(the original one not the later crap). clam shell cell phones is 1 example.
even Discovery channel had broadcast the show 'How Star Trek changed the World' some time back.
Star Wars is also great (4,5,6). Then there is Blade Runner, Matrix etc.
In books i would definitely say Ender`s Game.
