Favourite sci-fi show!

Now we’re cooking. Where do I begin?!

There’s the venerable Doctor Who, with the mysterious figure of the Doctor and his adventures.

There’s Babylon 5, which delved into mythology in a clever way.

There’s Stargate SG1, one of my all-time favourites.

The winner though, is the Star Trek show that broke the rules – Deep Space Nine. What becomes the supposedly perfect society when its back is against the wall? How does a commander and his crew keep the peace and cling to their ideals when on a space station at the edge of the frontier, in a war-torn system, surrounded by others who don’t share those ideals? What is the professional and personal toll upon the crew in those circumstances?

DS9 wins.
