Well I must say after reading all the differing viewpoints that perhaps I will give Stargate a shot. I still think Farscape is awesome though.
I never got to see Red Dwarf <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo--> Obviously this was a well liked series. I hope they bring it back so I can check it out.
Ah well theres always Star Trek on some channel somewhere. I like all the series but they got better as time went on I think. DS9 is my fav.
Funny that nobody mentionned Andromeda. I really like how characters do unexpected things in that series. Like when Tyr betrayed Dillon and Beka betrayed Tyr after sleeping with him. A lot of the main characters are really cold blooded. Not a favorite series of mine but keeps my interest on lazy Saturdays.
Farscape was never on at a reasonable time here, and I only saw a handful of episodes for pretty much that reason. Stargate, on the other hand, has a regular slot at about 7:30 (well, it used to. At the moment I think we're between serieses. Well, at least I <i>hope</i> we are, and that it hasn't been canned).
I like Stargate. I like how it doesn't take itself seriously, but at the same time I wish it was more serious. For one thing, Jack O'Neil is <i>never</i> wrong. Ever. Even when there's no good reason for him to be right, and it's purely his opinion. Now, the fact that he's the producer of the show may have a lot to do with that, but it's still a little irritating...
I'd have liked to have seen more of Farscape. I'm always interested in well-developed worlds, and it looked like a lot of effort went into it.

I loved that show. I mean, i've never been a sci-fi fan, but somehow fell in love with Farscape and was sad when i heard it was cancelled.

Personally I love Stargate. Love the characters and actual humour in a sci-fi series. Its not for stupid people at all. The problem with Farscape is that you miss one episode and your screwed. That annoyed me so I stopped watching. I wasn't really warming to it in the first place.
And what stone faced acting? That is the acting! Jack O'Neill isn't an emotional character. And they aren't explaining things for the viewer. It would look weird if Jack was stupid but didn't bring up te fact he didn't understand everytime.
And yes Dread, everything vaguely snake shaped is stealing from Aliens.

The intellectual part is determining where exactly the Helium comes from.
As you may know, Helium is one of the "Noble Gases". Noble Gases have a full outer electron shell, and so they can not chemically bond with other atoms.
Considering all forms of flatulence are made of compounds that were broken down and restructured within the body, the origin of the Helium is unknown (because there was no way for it to be there in the first place, unless the subject forced it through their digestive tract).
Discounting the idea of Fusion within the subjects body, the Helium came from an unknown place in an unknown manner.
Now, use your brains, and mabey if we all work together, we can figure this mystery out.

In aliens, eggs are planted in unsuspecting humans, hatch and come out of the humans stomach, using the person like an incubator and killing the host
In stargate, the alien species, which exists only in a 10cm snake form, incubates itself in specially designed cavities inside specific humans, providing those humans with enhanced resistance to stuff etc....
Eventually snake grows up, and goes in someone elses neck to take control of them, another baby snake is placed into the incubators belleh, and then the cycle starts all over again.
If it is a "hack" from aliens, its a heavily adapted version bearing little similarity other than "snake lives in human for while".
Farscape is better, though you realy have to pay atention (not a bad thing), its death was sad
Firefly is better than Farscape, it however had a horable timeslot and died a sad and tragic death. There is a movie in production though (yay).
ps I loved sliders, at least untill they started losing original cast and started a continueing story line. so yes it did get canceled, but it got crappy first.
And its my opinion that great shows get canceled because execs try to appease the fickle masses as oposed to the loyal few. Short sightedness if you will. They just dont have the patience to wait for the loyal few to tell there freinds to create loyal masses.

Personally I like both. Farscape was good though when I missed eps I got completely lost while missing an ep of SG1 isn't usually that bad (as they're not interconnected that much). I like Stargate better than Farscape and I agree with Aldaris that Jack wouldn't seem right if he got something technical right first time for once.
