- TitanX7, on 08/17/2008, -1/+40You can't call the #2 planet the "best planet ever."
- TheTaoOfBill, on 08/17/2008, -2/+38It's reverse psychology! Keep him at exactly 1!!
- Falldog, on 08/17/2008, -2/+28Dagobah? It's a big ***** swamp that no on ever wants to visit.
- fatb0y42, on 08/17/2008, -3/+27No Planet Spaceball? :(
- nuclearpenguins, on 08/17/2008, -1/+19No Pern? I think over the years Anne McCaffrey has done a very good job of fleshing out that planet.
- supermanred, on 08/17/2008, -0/+18What? No Skarro from Doctor Who? Home of the Daleks, Kaleds, the evil varga plants that sting you and turn you into a varga plant?
No Gallifrey? A planet full of watchmen who watch over the rest of the Universe and make sure the time lines are kept safe? - sting87, on 08/18/2008, -1/+15This list is incomplete with Risa from Star Trek.
"The planet orbits several stars and its climate is controlled by a weather modification network, with the natural climate being extremely violent. Risians, especially the women, are extremely open and will freely share their planet, and even themselves, with vacationers; a practice known as "Jamaharon"" ;) - IntellEJent, on 08/18/2008, -0/+11I vote Magrathea. Talk about a planet that actually makes planets.
- ericdano, on 08/18/2008, -1/+12Trantor and Terminus. How can you NOT include those on ANY list? Reminder, Foundation Series won a Hugo award for best series OVER Lord of the Rings. That is in BEAT Lord of The Rings.
Buried. Author should go in the corner and read Asimov's works. God, how lame can you be if you have NOT read them and you try to put up a list with any substance. - EatingPie, on 08/17/2008, -2/+12Star Wars offers such diversity, I think their planets need to be listed all together. Tattooine, Hoth, Dagobah, Coruscant and Mustafar!
It's good to see a few planets I don't know on the list (P2 and Nasqueron). I am always hungry for Science Fiction novels I haven't read before.
-Pie - AeroMerde, on 08/18/2008, -0/+10Great game. However, I wish the planets had been fleshed out with more than a journal entry.
- TheTaoOfBill, on 08/18/2008, -1/+10I hate star wars planets only because they are so unrealistic. Every planet is a single climate. And planets like Hoth and Tatooine had almost no plant life on them. Makes you wonder how the hell they breathed.
- TheTaoOfBill, on 08/17/2008, -3/+12Any Mass Effect fans here? Mass Effect has tons of cool planets which very thorough stories and history for each.
- Arramol, on 08/18/2008, -0/+8Eh, world cities have been done in sci fi long before Coruscant. Asimov's Trantor, for example, dates to the 1940s.
- xxgracefallenxx, on 08/18/2008, -0/+8even luke didn't want to go. he was pissed.
- breetah, on 08/18/2008, -1/+9dugg for being on one page
- Alex2, on 08/18/2008, -1/+8No Star Trek pleasure planet either.
- ericdano, on 08/18/2008, -0/+6*cough* Foundation Series.
- inkswamp, on 08/18/2008, -0/+6I think I speak for most Firefly fans when I say...
Miranda. - VarelseSoul, on 08/18/2008, -1/+7I'm really happy to see Lusitania on there
- apologeticus, on 08/18/2008, -0/+6Endor wasn't a planet
- h4mx0r, on 08/18/2008, -0/+6I hope they name a hostile planet "LV-426" in honor of Alien one day.
- satanguy, on 08/18/2008, -0/+6so why did you comment first?
- Doorfingers, on 08/18/2008, -0/+6You can if it's a list of chronological proportions.
- Hegemony, on 08/18/2008, -0/+5You and me should hang out.
- TitanX7, on 08/17/2008, -4/+9Courscant definitely deserved to be up there. It's just one giant city with huge undersprawls and thousands of levels.

Now, think about that for a minute. And while your at it, think about your life. - Haoie, on 08/17/2008, -0/+5If you're big on pulp sci fi, you probably think of planets from series such as Lensman [Tri-Planetary, etc], Barsoom [A Princess of Mars, etc], and many other books from the early age of sci fi literature.
- beaudh, on 08/18/2008, -0/+5No Gallifrey? No Digg!
- philipl411, on 08/18/2008, -0/+4Ring World! Just because is was artificial, doenst mean it wasn't a planet, well kinda of a planet
- inactive, on 08/18/2008, -2/+6Where is Risa from Star Trek? Commander Riker swears on the hookers on that planet!
- timmyrich, on 08/18/2008, -0/+4I love the mass effect universe and hope it is fleshed out in future games and maybe even books. Very well-conceived
- frozensnake, on 08/18/2008, -0/+4no Omicron Persei 8?
- Zizmeister, on 08/18/2008, -1/+5Dugg for Dune/Arrakis "best planet EVER"
- Arramol, on 08/18/2008, -0/+4And even more so for Mustafar. I can't imagine a volcano planet has a pleasant atmosphere.
- TVarmy, on 08/18/2008, -0/+4Disagree. Aqua Teen Hunger Force taught us the Moon is better than any of those made up planets. Plus, since when did any of those planets cause massive scares across history? I mean, in ancient times, people freaked out over eclipses. Then, today we freak out over Mooninites.
- Kmoney78, on 08/18/2008, -0/+4No love for Piers Anthony.
Phaze/Proton anyone? - GeezerD, on 08/18/2008, -0/+3Stanislav Lem's planet definitely belongs on the list.
- novenator, on 08/18/2008, -0/+3Although much of the series could have been fleshed out much better, the whole design of Cardassia on ST:DS9 was damn good. It was detailed to the point that I know that drank hot fish juice as their morning coffee.
- ericdano, on 08/18/2008, -0/+3But the author of said list made references to a couple that are rather lame. Plus he left out a biggie........http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundation_series
- inactive, on 08/18/2008, -0/+3You mean "Riza." Holy *****. I can't believe I was geek enough to know that.
- inactive, on 08/18/2008, -0/+3no Reach?
- dingedarmor, on 08/18/2008, -0/+3Was a pretty good list--especially Herbert and Card. Wish it had included some of Jack Vance--Moon Moth at the least.
- woofers07, on 08/18/2008, -0/+3no Omicron Persei 8?
- Errdoth, on 08/18/2008, -0/+3Banks was mentioned, but I'd rather it have been for his orbitals in The Culture, such an amazing concept.
- darkphenox, on 08/18/2008, -0/+3I think in the end DS9 was my favourite just over next generation, it had an interesting concept and the highest quality of sets especially in the later series, I mean when ever they went of station they were usually, actually outside
- plutonium28, on 08/18/2008, -1/+4Dugg for Kim Stanley Robinson
- alexanEmpire, on 08/18/2008, -0/+2They forgot Geidi Prime, Caladan, and Fiorina 161. However, just mentioning Arrakis and LV-426 is good enough.
Dugg for having the two best sci-fi's (Dune and Aliens) on the same list. - GuitarHeroDenn, on 08/18/2008, -0/+2Buried for lack of Gallifrey.
