10 Sci-Fi Shows That Aged Poorly - Regardless of the cult following, some sci-fi series have not stood the test of time.

[Ubiquitous]

In mainstream media, sci-fi shows tend to take a backseat to classic
sitcoms and profoundly popular dramas. Despite this, the sci-fi genre
has a wildly loyal community, defending most borderline-cringe plots.
Regardless of the cult following, some sci-fi series have not stood the
test of time.

While sitcoms get berated for distasteful jokes that don't align with
the values of today's political climate, sci-fi shows are more so at
risk of not looking as cool as before. When battling aliens, "looking
cool" is an essential factor that adds to its authenticity. So, when
viewers rewatch classics from decades ago, the low production value
often becomes a topic of harsh criticism in the niche community.

10 Four Seasons Of Heroes Is Generous (Heroes)

During its prime, Heroes did surprisingly well. A disparate group of
randoms worldwide obtain superpowers for the very first time. Albeit
sounding corny now, 2006 was raving about the premise. However, with
Marvel producing all things superhero every other week, the rest of the
entertainment industry pursuing anything remotely similar never stands
a chance.

Sporadically throwing in plot twists and ending seemingly every episode
on cliffhangers wasn't enough for Heroes to keep afloat. By today's
standard of superhero shows, anything without decades of comic book
history supporting them is deemed unworthy of success.

9 Lost Should Get Lost (Lost)

Lost is the poster child for lack of proper planning. When
storyboarding any story, it's crucial to consider how the worldbuilding
will progress as naturally as possible. However, with how eccentric the
premise of Lost already was, finding a naturally developing story
progression is a feat.

Towards the end of Lost, it becomes increasingly clear that the
creators never had a plan. Throwing in random anecdotes like polar
bears on a stranded, tropical island is as fascinating as Lost gets. As
compelling as the original synopsis was, the series ran its course. No
one wishes for a Lost revival any time soon.

8 Star Trek Is A Classic Despite The Run-Down Production (Star Trek:
The Next Generation)

Star Trek is undoubtedly sci-fi royalty. Cult following aside, Star
Trek: The Next Generation stands by some timeless values that align
with today's inclusive political ideals. It makes several attempts at
diversity and gender equality. Disregarding how these pertinent issues
are addressed and reflected in the dialogue, for the '60s, the show
made a solid attempt at standing on compassionate and harmonious
grounds.

Star Trek: The Next Generation mostly ages in terms of its actual
production. From hairstyles to amateur lighting, the series' overall
aesthetic is incredibly outdated. Combined with stiff acting and slow
pacing, Star Trek: The Next Generation may be part of a classic, but by
no means has it aged well as a series.

7 Inhumans.
Many shows and movies have proven that the Marvel name doesn't
guarantee anything but epic CGI. This is why it speaks to how horrid
Inhumans is — they don't even have that going for them.

Inhumans started aging horribly before it was even released. Originally
marketed as a movie, the first two episodes of the eight-episode series
were screened on IMAX and received monumental negative reviews from
critics and audiences. Being one of Jack Kirby's most significant
works, Inhumans had a lot going for it. Yet, its delivery disappointed
even the most hardcore Marvel fans. Conning it an X-Men knockoff,
Inhumans had mediocre production value and cringe dialogue, downgrading
an otherwise cool concept in the Marvel Universe.

6 Conspiracy Theorists Are Now Internet Trolls (X-Files)

Once upon a time, conspiracy theorists took center stage in the media
instead of hiding under endless Reddit threads in the deepest, darkest
corners of the internet. By reputation of mythology alone, X-Files has
aged poorly.

When a series runs for 11 seasons, transcending decades into a new
millennium, aging poorly is entirely understandable. From 1993 to 2018,
X-Files fans have watched countless weekly monsters flop. Alternating
between the good and the bad, X-Files has had polarizing reviews.
Overall it has aged poorly, especially with the innumerable X-Files
variants the world has seen since its release.

5 The 100 Is Australia (The 100)

Unofficially paying homage to Australia's convict past, The 100 sends
100 juvenile convicts to planet Earth decades after its devastation.
While initially raking in positive reviews left and right, the hype
around the once-intriguing premise died out fairly quickly.

After the second season, the plot went rather bonkers. Killing off
beloved characters for insufficient reasons and adding filler plot
points stalled the story's pacing. The 100 may have redeemed themselves
in a couple of their following seasons, but Season 7's controversial
premiere finally ended the show's declining reputation once and for
all.

4 Westworld.

Series prolonging its inevitable end is a common epidemic in Hollywood.
Many deem Westworld's first season as some of the best pilot seasons
television has ever seen. A classic case of robots taking over the
world, the futuristic amusement park falls victim to machines gaining
sentience. This compelling premise was delivered beautifully in the
first season, but the same could not be said for the two that supersede
it.

With complex worldbuilding and riveting action sequences, Westworld set
itself up for failure by putting the bar so high with its first season.
Their attempt at unveiling their plot twist in Season 2 didn't live up
to the immensely suspenseful setup in the prior season.
Overcompensating for Season 2's convoluted approach, Season 3 fell flat
in plot progression and was overly cynical for no apparent reason.

3 Primeval.

Like Westworld and many, many more in Hollywood, Primeval outlived its
expiry date. Time-twisting related plots always have captivating
synopses. Primeval follows a group of eccentric government officials
battling time-bending anomalies from across the infinite timeline.

Unlike Westworld, Primeval had more than just one good season. Doubling
that number, Primeval only started progressively declining during its
controversial third season. Frankly, any show audacious enough to kill
off its main character is at risk of aging poorly. Unsurprisingly, the
demise of the main protagonist buries multiple unanswered story arcs.
Somehow, the show continues for two seasons following Nick Cutter's
death. Without anything enticing enough for the audience to stick
around, Primeval started aging poorly before the series ended.

2 The World Is No Stranger To The Multiverse (Sliders)

When Sliders first debuted in 1995, the multiverse introduction had the
audience quaking. Exploring every possible corner of the multiverse,
the group of four jumps from one Earth to another. Some only varied
slightly to Earth Prime, but others featured the USSR being the
dominant empire and spider-wasp hybrids slowly killing off the human
race.

Somewhere along the line, Sliders' creators started taking a darker
approach to their adventures. Dabbling in the horror genre and adding
aliens into the mix muddled the series. Despite the creativity, the
change in direction ruined the once-riveting series. Especially now,
with the MCU and the Arrowverse taking center stage in the media,
Sliders looks like a confusing and amateur predecessor.

1 Stargate SG-1 Was Dethroned For Low Production Value (Stargate SG-1)

Stargate SG-1 had immense popularity and success when it came out in
'97. It was a powerhouse on Showtime and overwhelmingly raked in
viewers when MGM and the premium cable network invested big money into
the program.

However, their time under the sun was abruptly cut short with Richard
Dean Anderson's leave at the end of Season 8. There was a shift in
character development and plot progression. Although longtime fans
stuck around for the sake of their loyalty to the show, the passion
they once had for Stargate SG-1 was long gone. With how much technology
has progressed and the film industry has evolved, Stargate SG-1 no
longer has the same allure. Not even nostalgia can salvage what once
seemed revolutionary and has degraded into an amateur-looking motion
picture.

I don’t know what happened to CBR. They used to be interesting at least.
The last couple of years they seem to be farming out their articles to
deeply stupid people. Let’s see what they’ve done this time.

HEROES didn’t age badly; it wasn’t any good right from the Pilot episode
which is where I stopped watching.

LOST fell apart halfway through the series, which the article mentions. So
I’m not sure how that classifies as “aged badly“

STAR TREK TNG was rotten right from the pilot all the way to data versus
the space Mayans and including its movies. The person writing this article
is an idiot. My viewing accomplice said after encounter at Farpoint that
if this mess was called Battlestar Galactica the next generation we
wouldn’t have tuned in for episode two.

INHUMANS
OMG! Inhumans collapsed during the first episode! How can something that
was terrible to start with age poorly? And I love the Inhumans in the
comics. But the first thing they did was decide they couldn’t afford the
effects and so they moved everybody off screen. Shaved medusa‘s head. Lost
the lockjaw.

X FILES ran out of steam halfway through. I’ve never even seen a lot of the

The 100 was rotten from the start. Right down to the fact that there never
were 100 convicts. Idiots. A show only Ian James Ball could love.

PRIMEVAL kept dribbling out new stuff for a long time but I’m glad they did

STARGATE SG1 did lose its way, but not when Jack left entirely but when he
became goofy Jack. The last two seasons, STARGATE FG 1 (the “FG“ stands
for: FARGATE!) Are different but not bad in any way. In fact some of the
best work is there, right down too and definitely including the finale
CONTINUUM. Now what sucks is Stargate SGA Atlantis. What sucks worse is
Stargate SGU universe. What sucks worse is Stargate SG O origins. O my God
does origins suck. I don’t think I can possibly express how badly origins
sucks.

So whoever or whatever wrote this (when you use a non-standard single word
as your bio name and no picture you really need to include your pronouns)
just got it all wrong right from the premise. They didn’t manage to come up
with one show that seemed good at the time and that you were embarrassed to
watch a rerun of now.

How about season two of lost in space?

What didn't work at all was they finally defeated the Go'a'uld but began
facing a different enemy with plots that were way too similar. I still

Yeah it was like Star Trek trading the Romulans for the Klingons or Tom

brought back Skyler in season two...

It was fun.

And the story changed radically with each season. Basically a different
show each season using the same characters.

I think I watched all of it but all I really remember is summed up by
Anim's hair-chewing weasels comment.

It was an alien run government coverup of the alien conspiracy with the
government.

I enjoyed it, but they quickly ran out of good ideas for alternative Earths
because they only spent one ep on each and I got bored.

The most fun thing about it was changing the channel. The commercials
were more entertaining, and had higher production values.
