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.

Battlestar Galactica (the new one).

Babylon 5 is my favourite show, but "The Hand of God" in season one is my favourite episode of all time. (33 was pretty damn good too.)

    The last season was a bit weak, but it also has my favorite episode where the dead return for a night. I actually have a copy of the script for that somewhere in the house. Written by Neil Gaiman and guest starring Penn & Teller.

    I know the episode. I loved it.

    Garibaldi getting a visitation from Dodger (when he loves Duck Dodgers) was great. Also, sexy redheads are dangerous.

    But the thing I love the most about that episode, despite many awesome points, is that G'Kar lamented sleeping on the bridge and not getting to experience it. Showed a lot of character growth on his part, wisdom, to realize what he'd missed out on.
