[narf poit chez BOOM]

SG-1: Not really. Sure, cool planets to explore. But, on the other hand, constant threat of annihilation. Plus, it's gone totally over the shark.

Star Trek: The original series, early. When Starfleet had courage, Spock actually thought about using violence and there were space traders. (Harry Mudd, Cyrano Jones). I'd also imagine there'd be more non-human-clone aliens than shown on screan - Very low special effects budget. Some of the book univeres in particular would be cool.

Firefly universe: No thanks. I like my modern comforts and a reasonably sane government.

Babylon-5: Living conditions are almost universally bad. And I have a great dislike of minbari. Something about them being psychotic and genocidal. Along with most of the other races.

Deep Space 9: The only other Star Trek I'd consider living in. The characters are a lot more 'real' than TNG or some of the late TOS.

You forgot a few:

Star Wars: Are you kidding? Unless you're rich or a Jedi, life is harsh, brutal and short for nearly the entire galaxy. And Jedi don't have it much better. Either than or you live on a rich planet and their 'benevolent' government. Given that those people couldn't even organize to fight off an invasion, I'd pick somewhere else.

Aliens: No. Way.

Honorverse: I see much war, death and pain in the future. No thanks.

5th Imperium: 350-year life span, 700 if I decide to risk my neck in the military. That's a plus. Rational government - Constitutional Imperium - Not so bad. Tech that'll turn me into a cyborg with no downside? Where do I sign? Genocidal aliens coming? Ok, that's bad. But, on the plus side, world-size ships to blow them up with and real Nova bombs make me feel rather secure.

Culure: Nope. That place is just waiting for an Out of Context event to squish it.

The Caves of Steel: Sentient robots, cool. Being squished into a communist arcology, not cool. Skip.

The Foundation: The Empire at its height? Only read one book, but that seems like it might be a place to check out.

Man-Kizn Wars: No. Do I really need to explain?

Berzerker: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. No.

Commonwealth, Alan Dean Foster: The two words I can never recall having read in that rather long multi-series are 'Elections' and 'Religious Freedom'. No. Besides, giant space vaccuum coming to kill them all.

Doctor Who: If I get to be a Time Lord (With TARDIS at hand) and survive the end of Galifrey, sure. Otherwise, I'd need to know where I'd end up.

1632 series: Nope. Far too primitive technologically.

Ok, that's enough.
