Best Scifi Series ever, canceled! (OT)

Hmmm.. speculation aside, I consider that it is interesting to see how people reacted to the various Trek derivatives. I think it is fair to say that DS9 was well received, and those of us who like classic space-opera-esque plot lines with massive battles etc probably found that to be the best one. VOY appears to be universally recognised as the weakest link.

Enterprise has only been on for about 6 weeks over here in the UK but I think the general perception is that it is good. I personally do like the show but do not see how it fits in with any of the "established" history. I mean, IIRC, the first romulan wars were fought with lasers and nuclear missile 'blind' between Earth and the Romulans, neither side knew what the other looked like. Also, wasn't Sol system meant to be attacked 4 times by the Kzinti pre-Federation days? and since when were the Vulcans a horrible bunch of nasty oiks scrapping with the Andorians?

My personal favourite is B5. Good earthy storylines with a bot of ahem, risque/violent overtones and a long running plot. Also, nice to see the humans being one of th weaker races in the galaxy and not a bunch of noble, altruistic heroes

I did like Space: ABAB if only cos it was on late Friday nights just as I got home from the pub. Did they only make 1 series of that? I remeber the Last episode had a peace treaty where Aerotech and the Chigs were going to be shown to have some connection but that is as far as I recall. Anyone clarify this?
