My list:
1. Babylon 5
2. Firefly
3. Farscape
4. Stargate Sg1
i agree with this list. sg1 is more entertaining than bsg which is quite dark. there are shows i have stopped watching because they are too dark.
as for summer glau, to quote jayne “i’ll be in my bunk.”
Agree that BSG is dark. I like it because they persevere through the dark times, which is a helpful attitude in the real world going into our own dark future.
