6。 ‘Torchwood’ (2006-2011) 《火炬木小组》(2006-2011) Doctor Who‘s earthier spinoff started simple, tracking the two-fisted alien-hunting exploits of polysexual immortal Captain Jack Harkness, his Cardiff-based lover Ianto and his right-hand woman Gwen。 But as the series developed — and moves into the complex multi-part stories such as “Children of Earth” and “Miracle Day” — it turned into something like a tense, taut political thriller with laser-guns。 作为《神秘博士》衍生出的一部更接地气儿的电视剧,《火炬木小组》一开始很简单,就是记录拥有不死之躯的泛性恋队长杰克•哈克尼斯携同他在卡迪夫的情人伊安多和得力女助手格温一起追捕外星生物的丰功伟绩,但是随着剧情逐步展开,并发展出“地球之子”和“奇迹日”等复杂的多线条故事,该剧变成了一部情节紧凑又紧张的政治惊悚片,只是多了镭射枪而已。
7。 ‘Lost’ (2004-2010) 《迷失》(2004-2010) From teleporting polar bears to time-hopping super-islands, Lost‘s core creative team of Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse kept coming up with ideas that sent fans scrambling to the Internet to theorize。 All the while, the writers divvied a rich mythology into memorable individual episodes, telling stories filled with wit, awe, and heartbreak。 从远距离传送过来的北极熊到穿越时光的小岛,《迷失》的核心创作团队——达蒙•林德洛夫和卡尔顿•库思——不断想出新点子,让剧迷们爬上网搜索并推理下一步剧情。自始至终,剧作家们都在把内涵丰富的神话故事写进难忘的个人故事中,饱含智慧、敬畏之情,并让人感到心碎难过。
8。 ‘Orphan Black’ (2013-Present) 《黑色孤儿》(2013年至今) Orphan Black‘s true secret weapon is virtuoso actor Tatiana Maslany, who’s slipped into the skin of 11 different characters and counting, from a cockney con artist to a tightly wound soccer mom to a fanatical serial killer。 《黑色孤儿》中真正的秘密武器是演技高超的演员蒂凡妮•玛斯兰尼,她扮演了11个不同角色,从伦敦冒牌艺术家到纠结不安的足球妈妈再到狂热的连环杀手。
9。 ‘Black Mirror’ (2011-Present) 《黑镜》(2011年至今) Maybe we won‘t one day be able to download images from our brains like recordings from a DVR, or block people in person the way we do on social media。 But the show’s extrapolations feel logical, even inevitable: It‘s less a matter of if they’ll happen, but when。 也许无论到哪年哪月我们都无法像从DVR录像中下载图像一样从自己的大脑中下载影像,或者像在社交媒体上那样屏蔽真实的人,但是这部剧中的推理却感觉很符合逻辑,甚至像是无法避免的:这些事是否会发生好像不怎么算个问题,问题在于什么时候会发生。
10。 ‘Doctor Who’ (1963-Present) 《神秘博士》(1963年至今) Longevity is the name of the game for this 52-year-old BBC series。 Despite decades of lore, the premise is winningly simple: A charming alien travels through time and space in a dinged-up blue box, doing his level best to save the day。 He picks up traveling companions along the way, and every so often he regenerates into a brand-new body。 这部有52年历史的BBC电视剧可谓长盛不衰。尽管故事讲了几十年了,预设的背景却非常简单:一位魅力十足的外星人乘一只破破烂烂的蓝盒子穿越时空,尽自己最大能力拯救世界。他在旅行途中不断拉上新同伴,而且还时不时变成全新的模样。
11。 ‘Star Trek’ (1966-1969) 《星际迷航》(1966-1969) Nearly every word of its opening monologue entered the popular parlance。 Nearly every nuance of its actor‘s performances became (in)famous。 Nearly every science-fiction series to come afterwards owes it a huge debt, up to and including the oh-so-similarly titled Star Wars。 May the Starship Enterprise never stop boldly going into the hearts and minds of the sci-fi faithful。 该剧开篇的每一个字几乎都成了流行用语,演员表演中的每个小细节几乎都“流芳百世”或者“遗臭万年”,后来出品的每部科幻电视剧几乎都从《星际迷航》中获益颇多,一直到片名听起来非常相似《星球大战》都不例外。愿进取号飞船能一直勇敢前行,驶进每位忠实科幻迷的心中。(沪江英语) |
