Rank the Syfy miniseries
When I was in college from 2002 to 2006, the Syfy Channel miniseries was probably my favorite ongoing TV event. We got so many great miniseries during that four-year period, with Taken and Battlestar Galactica ranking as genuine TV classics and other solid to excellent films like the two Dune productions, The Lost Room, and Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars.
Coincidentally, around the time I finished college, the quality of the Syfy miniseries took a bit of a dive, with only Ascension really approaching the level of the upper-tier Syfy miniseries from 2002 to 2006. Syfy seemed to just stop making these miniseries all together, which saddens me a bit, but at its prime, it was an era of television that I look upon with fondness.
As far as these miniseries go, below is my ranking of the ones that I've seen.
Taken -5/5
Battlestar Galactica -5/5
Children of Dune - 4.5/5
Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars -4/5
Dune - 4/5
The Lost Room - 4/5
Ascension -4/5
The Triangle -3/5
The Tin Man - 3/5
Childhood's End - 2.5/5
5ive Days to Midnight - 2.5/5
Riverworld - 2/5
Legend of Earthsea - 2/5
