My favourite shows, in maybe a particular order 😄:

Babylon 5
Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (Radio)
Red Dwarf
Star Trek (all eras)
Stargate SG1 (indeed)
Farscape
Doctor Who (esp 4th, 7th, 10th, 13th)
Battlestar Galactica (both)

Some newer/ongoing sci-fi:
The Expanse
Foundation
For All Mankind

Blasphemous confession:
I've never thought much of Firefly.

I could easily go on. 😄

@Clavius_42 You accidentally forgot to put Star Trek at the top, but that's ok. 😉 Since you have the fabulous Battlestar Galactica (yes, both) on your list, I was wondering if you have seen/liked Caprica. I absolutely loved it.

@LiseL You spotted the deliberate mistake! 😁 Yes, I enjoyed Caprica too. Currently re-watching BSG reboot along with SeaQuest, Outer Limits and juggling three Twilight Zones; will likely move on to Caprica after BSG. Saw Blood and Chrome, but can't remember a lot about it. Any fave sci-fi of yours I haven't mentioned?

@Clavius_42 You're on a much higher sci fi level than I am! I'm really mostly a Trek fanatic who also adored BSG and the David Tennant Dr. Who's I've seen. But I really need to give other, newer sci fi a chance, so I've taken careful note of your list. I did enjoy Black Mirror. Curious you should mention the Twilight Zone because I'd just decided to started watching them again. I wonder if they'll pack the same punch now that the real world is stranger than anything we could make up...

@LiseL I feel sorry for anyone trying to write satire/surreal in this current reality.

The Russel T Davies/ David Tennant era of Doctor Who was solid. I'm stoked to see RTD returning as show runner.

Thumbs up for Black Mirror - the stronger of the relatively recent 'anthology' shows; dare I say, more Twilight Zone than Twilight Zone.

2AM - Morpheus calls 😌 Nice to be on a platform where people interact!

Until next time, nos da (good night) :WilLongAndProsper:

@Clavius_42 I think I went to sleep before you did - on this earlier side of the pond too! I look forward to your future posts. And if you happen upon a Picard thread/convo in this space, do count me in. It's getting passionately mixed reviews in my family...🤷

@LiseL Shall do! Picard is getting mixed reviews in mine too. TNG cast reunion for season three to get excited about.

@Clavius_42 meanwhile the theme song is playing in my head.

@Clavius_42 any fan of Red Dwarf is ok by me. And somewhere around here, I own the original radio production of HHGTTG on cassette tape.

I also once briefly spoke to Adams on a radio show.

My own blasphemous confession: I couldn't get into The Expanse.

@Clotho To still have the tapes, and to have spoken with the Frood himself, you know where your towel is! 👍

@Clavius_42 I actually said something about my towel in some nervous, inane way and Larry King hung up on me before Adams had to respond to my starstruck babbling.

I've backspaced this twice. It's still so embarrassing. 🤦🏼‍♀️
