The acting in Farscape was not that great.

I kill you all in the name of his Divine Shadow!!!

The original series opener/pilot/movie/whatever was briliant. The whole story arc with His Divine Shadow had me rivited. I can't tell you how disappointed I was when it degenerated into a soft-core porn/comedy mish-mash. It had the potential to be something really epic. I still watch when I can. I managed to catch most of the Prince story arc and that came close to regaining some of what they had in the beginning. Haven't seen it in a while though.

B5 to me didn't have very good acting. It was a good show. Just poorly acted. I think Farscape did a little bit, not much mind you, but a little bit better.

I disagree. I think the acting in FS was spot on.

There were some dodgy bits (especially in the first series) but as the story progressed and the actors got comfortable in their characters I found most of it good. In particular I thought Londo, G'Kar, Vir, Ivonova and Garibaldi really brought the show to life.

What about War of the Worlds, Dr. Who?

I thought the acting in Bab5 was pretty good. As the previous person pointed out, particularly for those people. My Favorites, in acting, were the Narn and Londo and his assistant. They accomplished, what I believe, is exactly what was meant to be accomplished. If they didn't say and act their parts out exactly as they did, the shock just wouldn't be the same. That is, if you follow through the seasons, what you thought about the Narn ambassador and Londo by season 3 and 4 is totally different (maybe even reversed) from what you thought of them at the beginning. In a way, it was really awesome to see the various ambassadors and companions develop over the series.

Star Trek TNG
Gundam
Outlaw Star

Ok, to all those people who said Star Trek The Original Series:

What are you thinking??? I used to watch it when I was younger, but now it is like watching GIjoe, it is just impossible to take it seriously. Most of the Acting was terrible, the plots were often rediculous and poorly thought out...

I was just about to go on a long rant, but I decided against it, lets just say, I don't like Star Trek.

Kodos: Of course they are Sci Fi!

X-files started out good, but it ended poorly. It just became the same old tripe crap, and the finally, while an excellent ending, was poorly executed.

I think 'good' acting in any sci-fi series is rare unless used in a relative sense.

ZeroAdunn:

I agree about the original Star Trek, while good for its era, I can't understand these people who still hold it with such reverence! Especially the canon junkies who maintain that all Star Trek continunity must follow TOS or else it sucks etc, huh? The friggin' original crew didn't even know what orgranization they worked for half the time!
