En weer een week voorbij, dus weer tijd voor een weekoverzicht. This week saw some interesting developments, mostly around Conficker and GNOME, but we also had some browser news, Shuttleworth on Windows 7, and more details on the Palm Pre. This week's My Take is about Firefly.

"...but Claudia Black is always a hit."
All the more reason to watch Stargate SG-1 (especially episode 200). 
I really love BSG except for the ending. The writing of the ending was crap. So was the directing and there were also problems with the special effects in the last few episodes. There were a LOT of unresolved things and those that were resolved, were resolved in a ridiculous way.
[SPOILER]
Everyone agrees to dump all technology (medicine!!), starbug is an angle? Head six+head baltar are what? The lords of cobol? WTF? What was it with Daniel, why was he killed? Does Will Adama really commit suicide and no one keeps him from doing it? Why does Sam commit suicide? Why did that one commit suicide? All what balter+six had to do was to bring hera to the CIC? ANYBODY could have done that! Why had Roslin these Visions? Why was hera that important? Just to become a fossil? GAH!
[/SPOILER]
The ending was crap!
However, I really liked Firefly. Ok, it was a bit episodic, but that was ok. I actually liked the wildwest theme.
But I also liked Star Trek (TNG and DS9). However, I think Sisko become an asshole in the later seasons.
I only watched the first few Babylon 5 episodes. I was bored to hell so I stopped. Maybe I should have continued to watch if it got better over the time. Hm.
I also watched Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis. SG-1 was ok, the funny episodes were great! I actually did like the seasons with claudia black and ben browder (quite a few SG fans didn't). Atlantis was mostly ok, too. However, the last season was very very weak (if not crap).
Farscape was nice, too. However, the peacekeeper wars were a bit to much fighting and to less story IMHO.
I also liked Earth 2.
But still my rating is:
1. BSG (even though the ending)
2. Firefly
3. The Rest

Seems like you missed two entries in your list, both long story arcs and in the SciFi setting.
You have Star Trek's brother, being a Gene Roddenberry creation and all, Andromeda. And it did run for 5 season. For geeks they had Lexa Doig as Andromeda Ascendant, an obvious Seven of Nine rival.
And more interesting imho, Farscape. With 4 seasons and a two episode mini series. No particular geek girl, but Claudia Black is always a hit.
