I have all the Fireflys, Star Trek TNG, DS9, Voyager, Space Above and Beyond, Andromeda and Stargate.

What other Sci-Fi should I look out for? I am in need of a good Sci-Fi fix.

Keep an eye out for the new series’ of Battlestar Galactica and Lost in Space which are about to go in to production. For older series’, try Babylon 5 and Farscape. And really old series’, try the original Battlestar Galactica and Space 1999. These are all space based favorites of mine.

Either of you heard of Earth Final Conflict? I was into it for a while, its kinda addicting in some parts and then other episodes get weird. Never decided whether or not is was good.

When you can't run, you crawl, and when you can't crawl, you find someone to carry you.

Okay, some of these are more magical realism than sci-fi, but I figure you mean all speculative fiction...

How can you leave out Dr. Who? TV's longest running sci fi serial. Go buy old Dr. Who episodes off ebay or amazon.com. That should hold you over till the new series kicks off on the BBC next year.

I never hear anyone mention Earth: Final Conflict. Was that unpopular?

Farscape is another very good sci-fi.

One of my favorite science fiction series is Blake's 7, a BBC show that ran from 1978-1981. I recommend it to anyone who likes Firefly, as the two have a lot in common. All the episodes are available on VHS, and it is rumored to be released on dvd sometime this year.

There is even a line in "The Train Job" which may even be an homage to Blake's 7 - when Jayne shoots the guy's leg and Mal says "Nice shot," and Jayne replies "I was aiming for his head." Blake and Avon have the exact same exchange in the episode "Orac" of B7. (Joss has said in the past that he watched B7 when he went to school in England.)

Or, it could just be a funny coincidence.

Throw in Babylon 5 and Crusade and I would likely not watch anything else...
