BSG was awesome - probably the best science fiction to come along in the last 10-15 years. Really good stuff.

Star Trek - Deep Space Nine I really kinda' liked too. "Voyager" got lame quickly after a great start. "Enterprise" is pretty cool. Star Wars Episodes 1-3 were a mix of great and suckatastic. Didn't live up to what I remember from the 1980s (Episodes 4-6) at all.

One thing I love about BSG and Star Trek is they don't get overly involved with special effects like the movies do (War of the Worlds, Transformers, The Phantom Menace, god-knows-what-else). The "big screen" stuff is 90% flashy spinny eye candy crap and 10% plot "glue" that is supposed to somehow tie it all together. The recent "Star Trek Enterprise" that came out was great - the SFX were only there in service to the plot, not the other way around (as has become painfully the standard in recent years). I like that.

BSG kicked ass. Great series.
