    Right, the tourny is up, the rules are in there

    Equality is not a concept. It's not something we should be striving for. It's a necessity. Equality is like gravity. We need it to stand on this earth as men and women. And the misogyny that is in every culture is not a true part of the human condition. It is life out of balance, and that imbalance is sucking something out of the soul of every man and woman who is confronted with it.

        Great tournament, even if the final result was quite predictable, but still it was fun *needs to spread green around*

          Darn....missed the final voting round. And I'd decided I was going to go for Firefly (for the win) over SG-1. Guess it wouldn't have mattered, SG-1 kind of had it in the bag.

          My personal "top 5":

          BSG
          B5
          Farscape
          Sg-1 or Firefly (depending on my mood)
          ST: TOS

          Fun tournament! Thanks for running it....

            I'll give my top five


            1) BSG!
            2) SG-1
            3) Firefly (SG-1 and Firefly alternate depending on the day)
            4) ST:TNG (interchangeable with other Trek series)
            5) X-Files

              Well it was an interesting tourney. Learned alot about other shows. If B5 ever makes it to local tv syndication, I'll give it another try. Or someone can be very generous and buy the dvds for me

              My top shows (not necessarily in order)

              Farscape
              XF (S1-7)
              Sliders (s1-3)
              Stargate (s1-4, and 5, 7 if I'm being generous)

                Since everyone's posting their personal preferences, I might as well join in:

                1. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
                2. Babylon 5
                3. Star Trek: The Next Generation
                4. Farscape
                5. Battlestar Galactica: TNS - I'm a recent convert.

                The Stargates don't quite make my top 5. If SG-1 had finished at the end of season 7, then yeah, it probably would've been in the top 5.

                6. Firefly
                7. Stargate SG-1
                8. Stargate Atlantis

                Honourable mentions go to ST: TOS, ST: Voyager, Quantum Leap, X Files, Space: Above and Beyond and Lexx - Very obscure and not for everyone, but I loved it.

                LOL! I have a lot of favourites. I'm really just a fan of anything sci-fi.

                  5. Doctor Who: TOS

                      I think I've seen most of the episodes for this show. Very Very Weird. But oddly compelling. I don't think I would put it on any favorite list. They were some very good arcs and some I didn't like. However, I would recommend people try it to see something very different and you might just get hooked.

                        ^Indeed. Lexx was very weird. Seasons 1 and 3 were my favourites. It was a fitting finale at the end of season 4, rounded the series off well. I would recommend it to people who are looking for something to watch that's different from the norm.

                        Hey Ptah, where's your mention of BSG: TNS? I'll let you off seeing as I forgot to mention Dr Who.
