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.


I watched the first few minutes of it and realized it was something I’d probably love but not in that moment. It looked like something I needed to be in the right headspace to really appreciate. I do that plenty, knowing sometimes I want popcorny action and other times I want, well, a mood.
It was on my watchlist so long it damn well got cancelled, but it’s still sitting there waiting for me to enjoy. One of these days. That and a rewatch of Mars Express should make for a good weekend binge.
