In terms of television, I've always been much more into "Star Trek" than "Star Wars". In fact, one of the main reasons I don;t watch the CGI "Clone Wars" series is because the whole thing looks dumbed down for kids, including the stupid "lesson blurbs" at the start of every 20-minute episode. I don't watch sci-fi to be educated or learn moral lessons; happening in the course of the story is one thing, but putting it out front like a huge sign just irritates me incredibly.
My favorite "Star Trek" television show is easily "The Next Generation", and I've met almost all the main cast members except Frakes, Stewart, and Burton. My favorite character of them all is Data, and I do wish Denise Crosby hadn't left so early (her recurrences as half-Romulan Sela were a bit jarring). After that, my second-fave iteration was "Star Trek: Voyager". Most of the characters were believable and fun, but paying attention to the story got difficult after Seven of Nine was introduced. I don't entirely blame Jeri Ryan for this, but its like the producers went out of their way to keep her in skintight spandex for three and a half years. My favorite "Seven-centric" episodes were the ones where she looked human, like "Unimatrix Zero".
Outside of the two tentpole series, another sci-fi show I really enjoyed was "Time Trax", but it sadly ended after 2 seasons. The idea of a police officer who literally can't go home without dying until he's caught his last crook was a very compelling and emotional narrative; Dale Midkiff and Elizabeth Alexander did great with it.
