It’s tough picking one.

But that’s why I’m asking. It’s easy to do a top 3, even easier to a top 5.

But when you have to choose a singular show? When you’re forced to pare it down? What sticks above the others for you?

Babylon 5 for me.

It’s got plenty of issues but it’s still my darling and despite all the behind-the-scenes BS it’s still the best long-form sci-fi story I’ve seen onscreen.

Edit: Screwed up the title. Bad Dalacos.

    Stargate SG-1.

    I’m not saying it’s always better than every other show, but it’s my personal warm feelings favourite ♥️

      I’ve seen all of it like 4 times.

      It hits a lot of great points. Consistent story. Great characters. Loads of content you can binge.

      Also episodes I can just enjoy without needing several episodes of backstory. They do little flashbacks when you need relevant info from a previous episode.

      And there’s a good amount of it, the story is internally consistent and the characters are likable.

      Yeah SG1 is just consistently awesome. Super fun show that doesn’t take itself too seriously but still tells really thought provoking stories.
