If you had to rank these three summer mini-series, what order would you place them in?

Shall we rank these vs other Sci-fi type shows or the reality TV crap thats on 98% of the time?

Ranking vs other Sci-fi: 98, 99, 100.
Ranking vs reality crap: 8, 9, 10

Storm, Meteor, Impact (Best to Worst).
I kind of like these cheesy mini-series/made for tv "movies".
Are you the same bicker over at tivoforums?

Yeah, that's me.

Thanks... I just need to put them in order, so I know which to use as filler first...

Well 'Storm' debuts next week...but 'Impact' which wasn't that great looked like an Oscar-winner compared to 'Meteor.' This was really bottom feeder dreck (though the asteroid SFX were decent.) The only decent character was the Sheriff whom I liked. I mean the deaths of Lloyd (car hit n run) and totally non-believable character scientist Jason Alexander (beware the giant plasma TV!) were just...so stupidly shocking they were actually funny. The subplots were ridiculous. I mean did they have jr high students write this? And hundreds of nukes going off under a HUGE asteroid DEFLECTS its decent path...I mean like by 45 degrees?!?!?!? Nevermind the fact you're in a (mostly) vacuum and no air pressure blast to push against the asteroid. This isn't even at the level of junk science but stupidity at its best (worst?)

Weren't all three of these disaster mini-series on NBC? I have seen a previous thread that talks about Impact on ABC. I know it was only a few weeks ago, but I think it was NBC, right?

Remember 10.5 on NBC a couple of years ago?

No way to rate "Storm" yet -- but if the other two are any indication.....

Impact was way better than Meteor, relatively speaking. If you're going to do these movies I definitely prefer staying with the scientist characters... I can seriously do without escaped-criminal subplots and idiot teenage girls in peril.

After reading this review of "The Storm" I am definitely not going to watch it.
