Andromeda - Never watched it, will one day (same goes for Farscape).
DS9 - You already know I think it's the best Trek series.
Voyager - More annoying characters than any other Trek series, too much contrived techno-babble and too many manufactured dilemmas that are inexplicably resolved. A shame, too, because some episodes were brilliant (Scorpion, Year of Hell). Might have been awesome had it been a much darker series than it was considering the circumstances the crew were in (think SGU compared to SG1) but obviously Berman et. al. didn't have the balls to shake up the formula. In short: it sucks. Worst Trek series imho.
Enterprise - Good series. Slow boiler but really enjoyed the long story-arc of season 2/3 and the mini-arcs of season 4. Apart from the stupid time-traveling Nazi alien one at the beginning of season 4. Shame it got binned just as it was beginning to deliver.
TNG - Good as long as you cherry-pick specific episodes and ignore the rest.
Babylon 5 - Love the arse off it. First season suffers from the wobbly acting and shit CGI typical of nascent sci-fi series but the scale and depth of the completed main storyline (end of season 4) is just amazing and rewards the viewer for taking the time to watch it all. One of my favourite series of all time.
SG1, SGU, SGA - Love the shit out of them all. SG1 overstayed its welcome though. Series 9 & 10 were superfluous. Wished SGA got a couple more seasons. Really pissed that SGU got cancelled just as they were beginning to reveal some awesome secrets about the plot.
BSG - Loved 99% of it.
Firefly - <3
TOS the remastered version is great, TNG starts slow, but at about season 3 it becomes a very close second only to TOS, voyager had a slow start as well, but season 4 onwards are great.
Enterprise was extremely bad for the first 2 seasons, then started to get ok in 3, then fell off the wagon again.
DS9 just never got good, drug addicted super soldiers controlled by shape shifters? really?
A human with a questionable past becomes a godlike being... again really? that was about as believable as Wesley Crusher becoming a traveller
Back on topic, they actual;ly aired 2 eps at the cinema down here for the release on the 25th of July, i missed out, took the missus to cirque du soleil.
But a mate rekons it looks amazing, and if you have seen the difference between TOS originals an dthe new digitally remastered you'll agree.Last edited by Ratty; 02-08-12, 06:27 PM.

I'll give you the story was ok, but yeah sets and CG were incredibly bad, and the acting was just as awful.
Even LEXX had better... all of the above... and it was about a zombie, a sex slave who used to be a spacecow, a gender switching robot head and a giant flying dragonfly spaceship, and the whole thing was filmed in a dudes basement.
