Spike TV has started reruns of STDS9, which is always enjoyable...

For one they are still going to have both stargate sg1 and the new spin off (not sure why they want two when they can carry one for both story lines lol). The return of farsape (which Im really psyched about btw lol) is in the form of a 2 part miniseries with future endeavors pending.

My favs in no particular order are...

Farscape
Dr. Who
Star Trek
Star Trek the next generation
Kindred
Brimstone
Babylon 5 (and all subsequent movies of)
Stargate SG1
Special Unit 2
Earth Final Conflict

Funny how several of those didnt last too long unfortunately but things happen


To define what is you in turn define what is not. Deffinition creates a form of existance even in nonexistants.

Stargate SG-1 is my favorite....although I miss Stargate/Farscape together on Scifi...I'm looking forward to the Farscape mini series and Stargate Atlantis...I didn't really like the Battlestar Galactica mini series, but I'll probably watch a couple of episodes of the series and give it a try...

Some of my other favorites are ....

Star Trek
Star Trek next generation
Quantum Leap
X Files
The outer limits...short lived, but a good show
Witchblade....also short lived, and I don't know if it belongs in this list, but I loved that show
Twilight Zone..the original

Oh OH! The new Stargate Atlantis. *hearts* I'm so excited. I looooooooove SG-1 and can't wait for Atlantis to come on DVD... as I rarely have time for television.

I really liked Battlestar Galactica... I had a strange love for Cleopatra 2525... It was so lame it was exciting. And Seaquest. Poor Jonathan Brandis...

If you ever want to know anything about what happens on StarGate SG-1 I AM YOUR FREAKING MAN.
I've watched the reruns so many times that it's a miracle I can't recite the lines they use.

Okay, spoiler alert here and now!
TEH SPOILER ALERT DAMN YOU.

In an episode during the "Jonas Quinn" season(a lot of people hated him) they encountered an Ancient buried in ice in the Antarctic near where they discovered the second Stargate.
After she melted and revived(She had like..super recovery powers or something) it came to be known that she was infected with some sort of disease/virus, and O'Neill fell victim to it.
After she healed the others(Super ancient healing powers damn you!) she couldn't heal O'Neill, so he was shipped off to the Tok'ra and they stuck a worm in him.

The next episode comes along..
And O'Neill is being totally controlled by the worm. Like a Goa'uld would do. Yes, that's a bad thing, and even Selmak(Carter's dad's worm) didn't like it one bit when he learned about it. O'Neill was forced to try and rescue a woman that the worm had liked/loved/whatnot, but she was in Baal's fortress of solitude(joke).

The escape failed, the worm slithered off and died.
Baal tortured O'Neill because he wished to learn why O'Neill had come, why he had attempted to take the woman from Baal..you know, the normal Goa'uld whippie bargle.

O'Neill escapes(Yu or someone shows up and blows up a power generator for the base) and the episode ends with O'Neill waking up in the infirmary, talking with everyone, talking with the dead Daniel and going back to sleep.

SG-1 went to the planet that was where Jonas originates from.
They had Naquadria(a spiffy type of naquada), and they had created a bomb.
However the bomb was futzing up, and so demonstrating his heroism Daniel leaped through the window and turned it off.

He was so badly assaulted by radiation that his body was completely ravaged with dead cells, and dying cells, and so he basically died.
But he ascended!

Yup.
