I *am* indecisive on this. For me it's like being asked to compare apples and band-aids: my choice depends on what I need at the moment.

I can't pick Firefly over all others because it didn't have enough time to develop a deep, meaningful story. Not the show's fault, I know.

Babylon 5 had trouble S1 because the captain was a pretty stiff actor, but even that played into a huge, pivotal story reveal. There were layers of brilliance in the show, even if sometimes JMS made his rhetorical point with Thor's hammer or if the acting at times lagged. Also? The CGI was pretty damned awesome for its time.

p.s. Love the icon!
