Probably going to get flamed for this.
Farscape.
I don't care, I'm still free.

OK, I'll bite. I'm not a Farscape "fan", per se. I've only just watched the first season and thought it was alright, but certainly not in Firefly's class. But worst sci-fi ever? I'd really like to hear your reasoning for that.

I personally hated the pod race with all my heart. the on;y thing the movie has for it was the duel of fates, duel blade, oh and darth maul. Sure he's no darth vader, but him being sorta bad-ass just makes darth vader bad-ass-er.
besides... don't tell me that when you "first" saw the trailer, and he showed off the duel sabre infront of two jedi's didn't make you wet your pants. (okay, maybe not that extreme...)

well, here goes nothing...
I hate the matrix and it's sequels reassured my feelings towards it.
also Starship Trooper's pretter up there after I read the book; I'd probably hate it even more had I read the book first.

Worst sci-fi television show: Harlan Ellison's The Starlost.

Okay, maybe there was a little moistness in my pants, but that all dried up once I actually had to sit through the movie. I admire Liam Neeson and all, but his performance as Qui-Gon was his worst.
The first Matrix movie was insane. I must have seen it 200 times the first year it was out on DVD. I still enjoy watching it to this day. The sequels, on the other hand, deserve to be gathered up and burned and remove any trace that they were ever made. The Wachowskis got lost in the FX and that's what killed those 2 movies. Other than the freeway scene, Reloaded had nothing going for it. The 100-Smith pileup was just a sad, sad attempt at creating something the audience never saw before. And don't get me started on Revolutions. Other than the all out war at the end with the humans and the machines, there was nothing that kept me awake. I wanted to hunt down the Wachowskis and cause them serious bodily harm after seeing that joke of an ending.

Voyager was the worst sci fi TV ever. Not only because it sucked in its own right, but because it desicrated the once-great Star Trek franchise. When you have material that good and botch it that badly, it really shows your total incompetence.
By the same critera, Star Wars: The Phantom Menace is the worst sci fi movie of all time, for the reasons that have been mentioned and many, many more.

Oh dear, I seem to enjoy a lot of these 'worst' sci-fi shows/movies!
I love Lexx for its sillyness, Deep Space 9 is/was the best Star Trek series of all of them, I love episodes I and II (though I didn't like 1 until 2 came out) and I OWN Crime Traveller on DVD, ok it's not the best show in the world and a couple of the episodes are awful but at the same time a couple of the episodes are really damn clever. Voyager wasn't bad, it just had the potential to be the greatest thing ever and they wasted it. I've only seen the pilot of Enterprise, but liked it. I'd say TNG was the worst, perfect people living their perfect lives and debating molecules is not my idea of good television.
I'd go with Battlefield Earth and Event Horizon as worst sci-fi movies ever (I felt ill from watching them both). As for TV, Doctor Who is pretty awful (not pain inducing, but not good) and that short lived firefly TV show, what the hell was that all about?

If you want crap... try anything in Andromeda after season 2... I was a big fan of the show in it's first season, put up with the second season... then gave up in the 3rd season because it became crap... the Kevin Sorbo action hour instead of, you know, character driven plots... this couldn't have ANYTHING to do with the fact that Sorbo's an executive producer, noooooo *taste the sarcasm*
I'm not bitter at ALL.

I have only seen a few episodes of Lexx but i don't want to see any more.
I liked Crime Traveller!
Matrix Revolutions may not be the worst but was a huge letdown.
Event Horizon was not good either.
Episode 1 and 2 both had god bits and bad bits but always had the problem that they had to live up to the originals.
