Favorit Scy-fi Scene

[TOSDOC]

This thread suffers from a horrible lack of Farscape scenes.

Hey, I tried. Here's another:

Rygel: What's going on?
Chiana: Crichton just proposed.
Rygel: Hmmm.....Proposed what?
Chiana: Marriage.
Rygel: Marriage??? Idiot!

I also get a kick out of Crichton squinting while he shoots his pinky finger to test a body-shield. All to save Rygel's life, the little bastard.

Farscape had many awesome scenes. One of my favourites is the cliffhanger to season two. Also the final episodes of season three. They're brilliant.

I wish they'd restart Farscape, but if they don't then I'm sort of happy where it was left.

[Ford Prefect]

The ending of Mobile suit Gundam, with the crew of White Base calling out the Amuro as he escapes A Baoa Qu, and waiting for him.

[Nuts!]

Firefly, right after the awesome "Big Damn Heroes" scene, where Simon asks Mal why he came back. Mal: "You're crew. Why we still having this discussion?" The almost-bored tone, the offhand camera angle, the flippant-but-not meaning of the scene really sold it for me. Mal might be a thieving bastard, but if you're crew then he'll go to the edge of the 'verse for you.

[HMS Sophia]

"You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with 'til ya understand who's in ruttin' command here"
I forgot serenity. Jayne is hilarious at times...

[Lord Pounder]

Firefly was brimming with excellent moments. My personal favorite Firefly moment is the sight of drunk Jayne singing his own ballad. "The hero of Canton, the one they call.......... me"

My all time favorite sci-fi scene is Luke attacking Vader in the Death Star throne room. No fancy choreography or OTT Force powers just a primal roar of rage and a fight with passion.

[StarSword]

Are video games allowed?

I'm replaying Knights of the Old Republic. The revelation that the player is Darth Revan is always fun to watch. And there's the part where I killed the headmaster of the Sith Academy and then turned his apprentice to the light side.

The shot from within Unicorn as Banagher's father's corpse floats out of the cockpit hatch while seeming to reach for him, and the hatch slams shut, the 360 cockpit activates, and Banagher is seems to be sitting in a ring of fire and death as the hanger is on fire. That's solid.

[The Yosemite Bear]

"Wheels within Wheels"
dinner with Harkonnen spies can be interesting.
(yes, I mean that alo in the chinese sense)

"Nineteen Eighty, Sarah, if you want to get off."

Yeah, that was some really good direction. Furuhashi Kazuhiro is a strong director, and the most powerful scenes are the ones where he gives into his flair for hands: stuff like the Unicorn stealing Kshatriya's funnels, Banagher experiencing Marida's life and Cardeas' death have a camera and animation focus on the hands of characters. It's his trademark - now that I've mentioned it you'll probably spot all sorts of conspicuous hand shots.

It's not a very complex way of symbolising Banagher's mental state, but it's a great ten seconds.

[Aufbruch]

Hrm...movie-wise, I'd say HAL's death in 2001. "My mind is going, I can feel it. Stop Dave. Please Stop"

Show wise...well, the "Dead, Dead, Dead" G'kar scene in B5, and what is probably the biggest "oh _crap_" moment sci fi TV history, "We Have Engaged....The Borg!" in TNG both rank pretty high.

My absolute favorite is from Farscape, though. I guess it's more of "sequence" than a "scene", but it's one of the few things that never fails to get me misty eyed and goose-bumped no matter how many times I've seen it:



From "Talyn...Starburst!" to "It's a _weapon_ it KILLS!" to the exchange of codes between Crichton and an utterly defeated Scorpius...this is why I'm a Farscape fanboy.

The scene between Garak and Sisko in Pale Moonlight is a close runner up--"...and the self respect of ONE starfleet officer!" etc.

Ok, done bibbling.
