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.

    If I could only pick one and it were to be “locked in” for life - I’d have to go with Deep Space Nine.

    I understand why people say Babylon 5, but for me it’s a bit too “rough around the edges” to be an all time #1.

    I could argue DS9 is a bit of a cheat answer due to it being Star Trek, however even if it were in a vacuum I think it’d still be my number one. There are just too many singular episodes that stand out with a great overarching storyline to boot.

      I loved and am happy that we got both. Regardless of the business BS behind them.

      Without B5 we’d never have got Garak. And both are some of my favourites, ever. It’s that meme, I want both. Both is good.
