I have a vague desire to drown myself in television. Which of these, o lazyweb, would you recommend? (ETA: I've seen none of these except the BSG pilot)
  • Babylon 5
  • Farscape
  • Battlestar Galactica
  • Avatar: The Last Airbender
  • Something else entirely
(No poll because I'm more interested in the Whys.)

Not that this will be happening anytime soon: the next four months or so are kinda busy. But once we get settled I may do something like 'i made my wordcount for the week so i get another episode of X.'

My recommendations are Avatar > BSG > B5 > Farscape.

I've already outlined why Avatar in my other comments, and if you know me one thing you might remember is that animated TV rarely captures me.

B5 is a whole mess of other stuff outside the show for me, and I might rate it lower because of that, but I would still maintain that the S4/S5 issues mar it.

I wanted to like Farscape, I really did. It has a lot going for it on paper. But in practice every time I watch an episode, about halfway through I feel like I want to just FF to the last few minutes and get it over with. I have no reason why, but I just do.

Yeah. That sounds about right.
