I liked Ben Browder on “Farscape,” but hated “Stargate SG-1.” We TiVo’ed the season opener and will check it out to see if Browder’s charm translates from “Farscape” sufficiently to salvage SG-1. I doubt it, but am willing to give almost any science fiction series a try.
Sadly, yang to Battlestar Galactica’s yin is “The 4400” on USA. Mrs. Gaz and I tried really hard to like this one, but it is just SO TV [predictable, mawkish and heavy-handed] that we are pretty much ready to bail.
If we did not own the DVD set, we would be very excited about “Firefly” coming to SciFi. If you missed the show when Fox was sabotaging it, you should check it out. The movie version is coming out this fall.

I'll have to ditto your SG-1 comments. "Mac" brought some comedy and personality to the show but it still just didn't capture my attention. A big shocker was how good I thought Stargate: Atlantis was (considering it's a spinoff of a show I really can't stand.)
Atlantis seems to have the better "bad guys," the better acting, and better cast. The idea of the first season (we're trapped in a land far, far away with no help and no idea what's going on) was somewhat spoiled by last season's cliffhanger ending, but I'd still recomend the 1st season.
I also liked "The Dead Zone" but lately it's turned to more of the generic sci-fi TV series: week to week the events of the series don't seem to be remembered or have any impact on the following week's events. It's like a sit-com where continuity is almost completely missing...
