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.

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!

actually the stories were fairly well thought out. most of them had a "moral of the story" aspect to them. i disagreed with some of them, but the were there. i am not overly concerned about acting unless it is truly horrible. in most series i have watched the 1st season is horribly acted, at least when they reshow it, as the people have not gotten into their characters yet. st:tng is a good example of this. (at least the first few episodes of it anyway)
edit: i guess my sights are not set that high, i would prefer a series with reasonable plot, not horrible acting, some originality, a bit of glitz every once in a while. i have seen series (not necessarily sci-fi) that have 2-3 of these and lack in the others and i lose interest in them quickly. guess it is kind of bad when i would settle for good instead of excellent.
