Besides FF/S,
Babylon 5 (by far an amazing space-opera!)
Scifi's Dune/Children of Dune (even if it's just for the soundtracks)
now getting into the new Battlestar Galactica
No power in the 'verse can stop me!

Firefly
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (books are more epic than movie)
Red Dwarf
Star Wars (originals, though even my love for those has palled a bit, tainted with the taint of eps. 1&2. Sadness.)
Haven't gotten sucked in to any others, but I'm sure I could be.

I have a real weakness for Star Trek: The Next Generation.
Yes, yes, I know - everyone's happy and well educated and money isn't an issue and you get this nasty feeling that The United Federation is more or less The Human Empire. It's soooo very nineties (a shrink on the Bridge!?!) but it can be very enjoyable, if it doesn't quite manage to be epic. When it's bad, it's very, very bad, but when it's good it's cracking!
I found myself watching "Yesterday's Enterprise" last night and for the first time I realised just how very good it is. An interesting, creative story that managed to be emotionally compelling with a bunch of characters we'd never come accross before and one who'd died in series one who most people had forgotten. Okay, it's not Firefly or Buffy, but Next Gen can be very good, so it always gets my vote. I just wish I'd watched Deep Space 9 as I heard that was much darker.
And if we're going for favourite sci-fi I have to give a shout out to the brilliantly un-epic Red Dwarf. Smegging brilliant

Firefly/Serenity (Obviously)
Farscape (I had a huge crush on Ben Browder when I was younger)
Babylon 5 (Gotta love old reruns on Sci-Fi)
Star Wars (Original trilogy, course I only really watch for Chewy and R2)
Dune (Sci-Fi version) and Children of Dune (I really have to get around to reading the books)
Star Trek: Deep Space 9 (Occasionally I'd watch this when I was young, usually when I was bored and there was nothing else to do. It wasn't too bad though.)

"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you."

:D
Firefly/SERENITY
Empire Strikes Back.
The Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe serials. (I'm a sucker for those things)
Then maybe the 80's Buck Rogers TV show, just because it reminds me of my brother and I sitting down watching it as kids.

That one was proof that even when everyone is well educated and money isn't an issue and everything is unnaturally clean and cancer can be cured with a pill and ........ everything can still go to hell in very painful ways, of course only when there is a time travel induced war on, but none the less: Human Drama.
