The 8 Best TV Spaceships
If I had to live in outer space, in a Star Trek or Firefly way, you know, in a space from the tubes, in a traveling ceaselessly through the starry skies, boldly going, etc., way, I think I’d want to be on the Serenity.
The Serenity engineer is way cuter than beam-me-up-Scotty, for one. And the place has some shabby-chic decor going on, which is saying a lot for bare minimal outer space styling. Like consider when Captain Picard sleeps on his little foam mat with his weird space blanket — you can’t expect Dr. Crusher to get cozy with you in those digs, O Captain My Captain.
Here are some other spaceships from TV-land (TV air?) worth considering moving aboard to.
1. Mork and Mindy: The Egg
2. Star Trek: The Enterprise
3. Star Trek: Klingon Bird of Prey
4. Star Trek: Voyager
5. Firefly: The Serenity
6. Stargate: The USS Odyssey
7. Stargate Universe: The Destiny
8. Battlestar Galactica: The Battlestar Galactica

Of course you ignored the entire universe of ships from Babylon 5 and Crusade. I think the Excalibur would be my choice.

It’s just “Serenity”, there’s no “the” in the name

JohnM: Personally, I think the Shadow ‘battlecrab’is the best Babylon 5 ship.
Todd: READ THE TITLE!

I’m sorry, but how can you not begin this list with the TARDIS? IT HAS SQUASH COURTS! And a swimming pool, a library (the swimming pool is IN the library) the biggest wardrobe in the universe… I am a diehard Browncoat, and even I have to admit the TARDIS tops the list.

yup Serenity would be an amazing ship to fly on but how in the verse you could leave out the TARDIS is beyond my level of understanding!! i mean seriously!! it’s living, it travels through space and TIME, it’s bigger on the inside, and it comes with the freakin doctor!!!

Serenity, hell yeah!! It’s the most believable it’s old looking and looks used, most think it’s junk but people who know their stuff see it’s a gem and it can do some awesome things. The tenth character in the show and I love her
