Holy crap.. how could I forget B5... I used to hang out with Londo... gosh darn it! ( The Actor is now a DJ for a morning show in Naples Fl. )

No kidding? I knew Vir (Steven Furst (Fierstein or Fuerstein I recall)) when he went to school at VCU in Richmond. I have Season 3 disc 5 on right at this very moment. Only ST:DS9 comes close to it. The continuity, scripts, subplots, character development, etc. are all superior to any other series, IMO. Star Wars had too much materiel aimed at the youngest demographic segment, I think. Sort of "campy", as was ST:TOS at times. ST:NexGen and Voyager are at the bottom of the list, but, having said that, I'll still watch them over almost anything else on the Zombiebox except a good film.
But Babylon 5, well, it's in a class of its own. Zooty Zoot Zoot! Firefly was excellent, as well. And of course SG-1. They must have wasted a ton of film from cracking up. There's some outstandin comedic moments in the series. The special edition version of the film is excellent. The theater release had some bad edits, IMO.
Atlantis has its moments, too, but I just cannot stand the way "Rodney" is played.
BattleStar Galactica. Wow. At the top of my list with B5.
Wow a fellow geekophile.
Niiice!
never got into Battlestar Galactia... even though I got tons of Swag from them when I was a Media whore. I ended up giving it away to my fellow geeksters.
I still remember the look on his face when I said Zooty Zoot Zoot at him.. *chuckles* Surpised I survived it.

Zooty Zoot Zoot! Hahahaha
Oh, absolutely, Gwynny, I'm a Sci-Fi geek from waaaaay back. I recall the first books I read were sci-fi. Andre Norton's "The Stars Are Ours" and an Alan Nourse one about "Spacers" who lived out by the asteroid belt but were sterile somehow so had to kidnap Earth chicks (hmmmm) and a really early series about an old eccentric dude who was actually from the Mushroom Planet. Tycho Bass or something like that. That was in the 2nd grade I read that, IIRC.
I used to read those old Ace Doubles, too. They were very cool. Older kid used to end them to me and I'd read them at night under the covers with a flashlight.
Funny, most of the kids I knew read Sci-Fi went on to become counter-cultural types, or scientists, or some other cool stuff, and the plodding dolts became the Republican base.
