The original Star Trek.
Yes, I know the sets were cardboard... and sometimes so was the acting. But was there a plot they didn't do?
Anyway, what's your favorite?

For me it's got to be Babylon 5. The plot was so intricate and the characters were so well developed- I've watched all the series (including the spin-off) at least twice and I've seen almost all the films...

Arcaenia For me it's got to be Babylon 5. The plot was so intricate and the characters were so well developed- I've watched all the series (including the spin-off) at least twice and I've seen almost all the films... Babylon 5 was great. As you say, the plot was intricate. It wasn't just a stand-alone plot each week. Hollywood was finally recognizing the power of the 'soap-opera.' There's a reason those types of shows resonate with people. Now don't think I'm dissing it because I compare it to soap operas. Character development is the strong point of a soap opera. People tune in to find out what will happen to their favorite character. A really excellent series can do character development like a soap opera, and work in the classic plots. Bruce Boxleitner was fabulous in Babylon 5.

I like Dr. Who. Mostly because we watch old episodes pirated off Public Television in Anime Club office. It's awesome.

If anime counts, I'd say my favorite is Zeta Gundam.
If anime doesn't count, then I'd say Earth 2 because it had compelling concepts you don't usually see in US sci-fi.

Stargate SG-1. Sorry Stargate Atlantis, but you just don't have it.
I agree with soviet-endlesswaltz, the series has (had) a wonderful plot with believable characters that grew with the show. The effects were there as an added bonus to support what was already well done. Stargate is what Sci-Fi shows should be like.
