It’s tough picking one.

But that’s why I’m asking. It’s easy to do a top 3, even easier to a top 5.

But when you have to choose a singular show? When you’re forced to pare it down? What sticks above the others for you?


Babylon 5 for me.

It’s got plenty of issues but it’s still my darling and despite all the behind-the-scenes BS it’s still the best long-form sci-fi story I’ve seen onscreen.


Edit: Screwed up the title. Bad Dalacos.

    I think arcane s2 had some great stuff but a lot of it made very little sense or was outright bad imo. This is from someone who’s deeply immersed in runeterra (which might be a bad thing in this case)

      Oh? I’m surprised, I think your comment is the first negative opinion on Arcane that I see (to be fair, I wasn’t really searching for them either). So I’m curious if you don’t mind explaining further, what for example did you find outright bad or making no sense? I would love to hear your opinion, also about season 1 as you specifically mention season 2, was the first better for you? I personally cannot say there was a lot bugging me and usually plotholes or characters acting against their role and background and personality just for the story’s sake bother me plenty.

      For context, I did know about runeterra and a bit of the stories from before Arcane came out, but I would never consider myself versed in it. I did read some of the background stories officially posted by Riot, some of the comics, and played a bit of league and legends of runeterra, but of course there’s not that much story in the games anyway.
