For the record, this thread applies only to visual media Sci Fi, so is discounting books or comics etc.
Do you prefer your sci fi in Series format? Ie - Stargate or X-Files
Mini-Series One Shots? Triangle, Tinman etc
Movie format?
Just curious, I'm a tad bored, but the question intrigues me. On the one had, movies can achieve a greater budget, but really are rather small in comparison to even a mini series, with far less room for character development or even attatchment to them.
TV series allow for this, but have lower budgets per installment, so the effects and grandure won't ever be the same as a big budget or even smaller budget movie.
Mini Series would seemingly fit in between, but one could argue that though you get substantially more invested in characters, its ended before you get the full enjoyment available.
So. Thoughts?
