  Tough decision.

[KRonn]

Voted Stargate.  I watched that show faithfully! Stargate SG1   

[Grey Fox]

Stargate.


Terra Nova? The Fox show or is it something else?

[Admiral Yi]

Twilight Zone doesn't belong.

[Syt]

Torn between Firefly, B5 and Farscape. Firefly probably loses for being the promise of a great series, rather than a finished product (thanks, tv execs!).

Between B5 and Farscape I'll have to go with Farscape, because their plots were in general more unusual, and you never knew quite what to expect, even though B5 had the more epic story.

If I ever do meet Rupert Murdoch, I'm punching him in the nuts.

[Richard Hakluyt]

B5.............I'm getting towards the end of my second viewing and have been impressed that it is actually better than the first time around.

[Cerr]

 

Probably DS9.

[Eddie Teach]

Terra Nova? The Fox show or is it something else?

Yeah, Viking loves it so much, figured I'd include it. 

[Josephus]

Went with STNG, although was close between that and X-Files.
Like Lost too, but never really considered Sci Fi.

Couldn't force myself to watch past the end of the first season of Farscape, so that's out.

Loved what there was of Firefly, but there wasn't enough of it (and, frankly, I could have seen it going the way of Dollhouse as easily as going the way of Buffy, so maybe we were spared some pain).

Stargate SG-1 was a fun series, and I can understand why it is some peoples' favorite.  Not enough meat for me, though.

BSG started well, but devolved into self-indulgent and silly plot developments by the end of the second season, and never really recovered.

B5 started poorly but maintained enough discipline to finish the story as planned.  Character trumped story, which I liked.  In spite of some uneven acting, it ruled.

Deep Space Nine comes in second.  Lots of fluff in the series (it took nine seasons to tell about half the story B5 told in five seasons), but it still told a story and had enough serious and moving episodes that the fact that it also had the monumentally suckass character "Q" appear a few times didn't much taint it.

It had seven seasons not nine.
Q only appeared in one episode.

Yep same here.

[grumbler]

Q only appeared in one episode.

I had remembered more than that, but since DS9 and TNG were airing at the same time at that point, am probably confusing a Q episode or two from TNG as being from DS9 eps.

No matter - as I said, not even having Q could ruin DS9 (except for the episode involved).
