One thing I don't like about Sci-Fi: The tendency to make crappy TV series and crappy movies.

JMS's bad diologue. The guy writes a good story but sometimes when you're watching one of his shows one of the characters will come out with some diologue that just makes you want to die

Here's one of mine. Star Trek (TNG and Voyager especially) seems to suffer from it a lot but I've seen it in other shows too.

The episode starts. Everything is normal. Then one character on board the ship hears voices/sees something or something that isn't there/notices something strange that goes away as soon as he looks away.  
 Character shakes his/her head and goes about his daily business until it happens again. This happens 3-4 times before the character bothers to say anything other than "Did you just see something?"

What annoys me is that after 10-20 different situations that have nearly resulted in the destruction of the Enterprise or the loss of crew no one ever thinks to post a standing order saying that "all anomalous sightings MUST BE REPORTED IMMEDIATELY!"

I've seen cases of this in other shows so I'm not specifically having a go at Trek but Trek is the best example of it happening. To be fair I recently saw an episode of Enterprise (3x06 - Exile) where Hoshi did exactly the right thing. She reported the problem on every single occurence giving as much detail as she could. Unfortunately the rest of the crew were too stupid to believe her at first.

My pet peeve is that there's just not not enough of the stuff. That's why I'm looking forward to Chronicles of Riddick and I, Robot... gotta find a time to see those.

Episodes where one character gets badly injured and we spend the rest of the episode watching flashbacks to previous episodes. It's such a cop-out.

Those I don't like too

At least the Simpsons had the decency to title the episode "So it has come to this.. A simpsons clip show" when they did it

I think Stargate SG1 - Disclosure is the only example I've ever seen of a well done clipshow. In that case the clips were the arguments people were using not just fond memories of time gone past.

Because lord knows the world needs another "Will Smith kills CGI critters and acts stereotypically black" film.

I thought Season 7's Heroes did it better, only because there was a few seconds of it near the end.

This isn't a pet peave, but does anyone else love the Next Generation episode "The Inner Light", where Picard is rendered unconscious by this device and lives out the entire life of some guy in 30 minutes? I think that was the most beautiful Star Trek episode ever made.

A fav of mine too. Seems odd that a race would want to only be remembered by one person though.

Now that you've mentioned it I'm tempted to download and watch it again

I wouldn't classify Heroes as a clip show since most of it was new IIRC.

Well, if a movie that's even like that can be found enjoyable, I don't mind so much.

Where can you download that?

True, but a few actors (Andreas Katsulas, Peter Jurasik, Stephen Furst, and Jerry Doyle isn't bad) manage to make the dialogue sound perfectly realistic.
