Default Best Sci Fi
Currently i find Battlestar Gallactica to be the most attention holding sci fi, the Uk is behind the USA and series two comes out in August.

But my all time fav would be Babylon 5 by a long shot.

Anyone else got a fav?.

Star Trek, the original series, and Alien Nation. And now that I think about it, Dr. Who and Red Dwarf!

Getting a little back to the core of this website, were there any sci-fi episodes that had a civil war connection?

30th, yes, the "X-files", episode 4x05, 4th season, episode 5: "The field where I died". Mulder discovers that he was a Confederate soldier in a previous life, and was killed in battle. [Edit: This is the only episode that deals with events in the Civil War, and also, I believe, the only one where Mulder (David Duchovny) actually cries real tears, for an extended length of time, remarkable for Mulder and the time elapsed.]

Congrats on your promotion.
