BSG with titles and links
I've added titles and links to my blog. I didn't realize that I had to turn them on.
I really liked the first episode of Battlestar Galactica. The pilot of the miniseries and "33" are some of the best sci-fi I've seen in a long while. The second episode "Water" was pretty good as well, but not as good as the others. So far this is the best sci-fi I've seen since Star Trek: The Next Generation. But even ST:TNG sucked the first couple of seasons, it only got good starting about season 3 or 4 and then it was really good for most of the rest of its run. Though I have to confess I haven't been watching that much sci-fi the past few years so I don't have a good basis for comparison. Everyone else seemed to like Babylon 5, but I didn't. I didn't like ST: Voyager or ST: Deep Space 9 that much. I never even saw an episode of ST: Enterprise, so I feel like I've lost some of my geek credentials. Firefly was supposed to be good, but I missed it. But now I have Tivo so I can go back and catch some things that I should have. Sliders suffered from being a bit simplistic I felt, but I saw less than 5 episodes of it. Stargate: SG-1 has been on so long that I should have seen more than a couple of episodes, but I haven't. It is popular enough to be spawning a spinoff, Stargate: Atlantis, so there must be something to it.

Another person has viewed Battlestar Galactica, which I have not seen. There goes my conspiracy therory. You didn't mention Farscape. I may be the only person who watched with starry-eyed amazement.
ST:Deep Space Nine really picked up once TNG ended, and the writers moved over. At that point, they started the space opera plotline of the Dominion looking to take over the Alpha Quadrant, and that was some fascinating stuff.
Dark Angel was good for the first season, then got weird enough in season two that we bored of it.
