Quote:Yeah, that guy was very rude, even though he was right about BSG. It's great!
(and contrary to the previous poster, you're not an idiot if you don't mention BSG - but you are missing out on some damn fine tv).
It's so good, I'm tempted to say you're a moron if you don't like it second after Firefly. But I'm not like that jerk who posted before, OOHHH no. I wouldn't stoop that low.
But he's right.

Kung Fu is great, I own every season. The show is timeless, and it's moralistic stories have much to say to us today.
Plus, the fights are incredibly realistic by most standards.
But Dark Angel is more entertaining. Chrisisall

I say Twin Peaks. Made even more enjoyable that there isn't any answer behind the whole thing and David Lynch was making it up as he went a long. Rare to find something truly terrifying.
Deadwood's extremly good but that's probably no suprise considering where I'm posting this.
My favorite series is certainly not going to be Rome but that's for a different place (But Firefly could teach them a thing about the strenght good casting brings to a show)

Ummm, let's see...I'm gonna have to go with B5, Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis. Call me a sci-fi freak, if you will, I don't care. But they're great shows.

Hey to all the FF obsessed people!

I liked FF and definately would be number one if it had been given a chance along with Space: Above and Beyond. Babylon 5, Highlander, BSG, Stargate, funny scifi: Red Dwarf, and sexy scifi Dark Angel. Wonder if the movie plans for RD will ever come about.
Have a better one!!!

Mentioning my favourite is fairly redundant considering the board I am on 
However, my second favourite hasn't been listed yet I don't think and it only finished a few years ago... La Femme Nikita.
Did anyone else ever see it? I only caught the last two seasons before it was cancelled (although after massive fan support it got a fifth season) and I have the first season on DVD. I adored the storylines, they were so complex and well written. And I always found the characters just slightly disturbing. Brilliant.
Then of course there is the mandatory mention of Buffy and Angel - a joint mention I hasten to add. I love the first four seasons of BTVS, after that, not so much. ATS I loved all the way through.
My two cents worth

Is is a little or a lot better than Alias?
Better than Buffy?
Did it maintain high quality throughout all seasons?
Is it a series with a real final episode?
Worth the outragous dvd sticker price?
What? Another show I HAVE to OWN???

You'll be sorry Chris, you've got me started 
LFN was very very similar to Alias but I've got to point it out, it came first. To me (and I know that people get protective of their shows, myself included, so this is just my opinion) LFN was MUCH better. In fact I only watched Alias under duress after the first episode it was THAT similar. Still, each to his own and I guess it does come down to which you discovered first.
Better than Buffy... I'd say... too different to compare. I loved Buffy for the wit and the characters. La Femme, I loved for the sheer fact that you never knew what was going to happen next nor how each character would turn out.
As for maintaining a high Quality throughout the seasons, I can't speak for all of it as I've seen seasons 1, 4 and 5. However, the first season was clearly more dated and I suppose not as dark as the later ones.
A series with a real final episode - hell yes. Personally I think it finished the only way it could.
Is it worth the outrageous sticker price? To a fan like me, without a doubt. Still, I did see two seasons before I made up my mind. So, I guess my advice is, check it out on the net or borrow DVDs or something first. I'm sure you'd love it, I just don't want to be responsible for influencing unnecessary bankruptcy!
Sigh... see what happens when I get up on my soap box to proclaim the virtues of my shows? No power in the 'verse can stop me

At my first opportunity I will check out LFN.
(BTW, I did like the Besson movie quite a bit.)
Mai, oui Chrisisall
