dakotasmith, I know what you mean about TNG being a bunch of little commies running around looking pretty.

So far,
1. Firefly. Hell, the theme song was enough for me, the excellent show is icing on the cake!

2. Stargate:SG1. Pretty funny, I like it alot more than some other network sci-fi(no cable) plus they use real guns.

3. The outer limits. It is usully pretty damn depressing, but makes you think.

4. I remember flashes from space:above and beyond, and that I really loved it, but no more than that.

ones I hate: Andromeda, cheesiest damn show I ever seen! What I have seen of tracker. I can`t stand TNG, to much faith in the human race. Voyager was interesting, though mostly technobabble and sex appeal(give me a break on those catsuits!).

Space: Above and Beyond: I wish the Sci Fi channel would put those reruns back on, or make DVD versions for the fans to buy.

Andromeda: The quality has gone down a bit, but it's still a great show.

Stargate Sg-1: The whole show is great!! The characters are good, the story lines are always neat, and the idea in general is interesting.

The X-Files: I pretty much stopped watching after Mulder left, but those first seven seasons kicked butt!! Scully and Mulder were great together and the episodes were really good.

Star Trek: I liked most of the series, all except for Voyager. Even it had some good episodes though. The Next Generation has to be my over all favorite.

First Wave: I always liked Eddie!

The Invisible Man: Fawkes and Hobbs were great together. The perfect partner team!

Jayne: Time for some thrilling heroics.

Wash: Every man there go back inside or we will blow a new crater in this little moon.

You're not alone, Kalimac! I love DS9. It was so well crafted... especially toward the end.. as in like the last 4 seasons Great characters, great plot, humor, depth, politics, rootbeer... what more could you want? I was raised on Star Trek (hell, i used to play TNG at recess in elementary school. Wanted to grow up to be Troi.. not sure why anymore...) but DS9 has always been my favorite. I know a lot of people prefer the cheerfulness of TNG (i like it, but it's not the same. It's too perfect.) I cried when DS9 ended, and I still get the urge to pull out my old tapes and watch some of the great episodes.

I've had a few other obsessions in my day, though..

I went through an X-files phase. I didn't really like it toward the end, but back in the Mulder days, it was damn good.

I loved Andromeda. It was soo good in the first season. It's dead now, but it was amazing. I'm not gonna rant about it, because i've done it before. If you want to know what was so great about it, look up my post on it...

I got into Farscape about a year ago. Unfortunately, I don't get Sci-fi channel (agh!) so that's kind of difficult. But it's such a unique show.

And of course, firefly! It's my newest obsessions and one of the biggest obsessions I've ever had. I get all happy and hyper just thinking about it!

Wow. Favorites?

V- First thing I ever got into, one of the first things I ever remember seeing. I was 3 years old when it came out, and I loved it and still remember watching at reenacting it with my Barbies the next day. Recently got it on DVD and was still all giddy about it.

Buffy- Huge fan since day one, now have entire episodes I have memorized (mostly because my brain is a sponge for pop culture and I couldn't get it out if I wanted to).

Space: Above and Beyond- Got into this when it started, but Fox's scheduling kept me from watching and I never even knew when it was canceled. A friend got me back into it a couple years ago, and I've been hooked ever since. God, that was a brilliant show.

Witchblade- It's unhappily canceled, but I was in love with the show. Not so much first season, but from the second season premiere I was totally into it. Have yet to pick up any of the comics, which I kind of don't wan to do so I don't compare.

seaQuest- I was a huge fan up until third season when it lost me. It couldn't seem to pick a real premise and stick with it, but I stayed with it loyally and followed the creator to...

Farscape- My #1 favorite show of all time. Great acting, great writing, plot twists people don't exactly expect... My perfect show. Yep. Canceled.

I've also recently managed to find and get into Babylon 5 and Stargate, but I'm still catching up on those.

Regarding "The Prisoner" from Millernate's orignal post in this thread - The Prisoner was one of the most captivating thrillers ever to be screened on televison. From talking to my parents, the serial was a phenomoneon that mesmerized both British & American audiences. And frankly, it pissed everyone off with it totally ambiguous finale.

However, I applaud a series that was planned for only a finite # of episodes (17 I believe). Patrick McGoohan had the clout to get it done...psych-fi TV wrapped with biting social commentary.

I was able to catch most of the series on PBS earlier this year...I highly recommend it.

To Millernate re: Nowhere Man - I caught part of the series back when UPN was still new but did they ever wrap it up in a satisfactory manner? That was pretty weighty stuff but the network seemed to have pulled the plug pre-maturely.

As an avid viewer for the whole season that it lasted, who had to stay up a few hours past my usual bedtime just to get to the START of the episode, I called the station after it was gone. They said it was cancelled. The last episode, I think, is a cliffhanger when he discovered that he himself was Gemini, the operative who had been investigating the situation before...

TNG hands down for me. I absolutally love this series and the characters and everything. I like most any other Trek to but TNG is my favorite.

Quantum Leap -- I loved this show. Even back in the day when I swore I hated sci-fi (Yeah I'm weird I know because I love it now LOL) I really liked this show.

My favs:

5. "Reboot"
4. "Freakazoid"
3. "Dark Angel"
2. "Roswell"
1. "Prey" - this only lasted 13 eps, but it
was total quality. (ABC, 1997, I think
it was a midseason replacement. Anyways,
it starred Debra messing pre-"Will & Grace."

And of course Firefly is my new #1.

I love first three Star Treks. Deep Space 9 from season three to season 6 are some of the best television around. I loved the X-files, wonder and dread all in the same episodes. The Twilight Zone always thrilled me as a kid. And I love Firefly...but the finest sci-fi to be found in the last 4 years is on the classic Farscape. I've NEVER seen a show that toyed with your conceptions and threw you curves like this show. And it has an episode that has the most heartbreaking death scene ( two episodes actually!) that I've ever seen in episodic television...when it comes back on in January for it's final run everyone please do yourselves a favor and tune in. It's one of the finest shows ever made...
