My Top Ten Sci-Fi, Fantasy and all around favorite stories! 

1) Doctor Who
  Because it's a classic and like wine has only gotten better with age. Each story is so original and full of social commentary that it stays with you long after the episodes are over. And I love eccentric characters, it's my weakness.
2) Star Trek: The Original Series
   This show may seem a bit campy to some modern viewers but the characters were interesting and the stories were thought provoking and well written. (most of them, 'Spock's Brain' was pretty bad) And I love cowboys in space!
3) Harry Potter- Books and Movies
    I started reading this series long after everyone else had and I fell in love with them. The secondary characters made these books for me more than Harry. Remus, Serius, Bellatrix, Ron, Hermione and many others!
4) Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
  This was a great series with a great cast, and the stories were original and kept you guessing. I love smart people in space, can you tell?
5) Frank Hebert's Dune- The books
This book intertwines religion and technology in an interesting tale of politics and society. I love how dark it is and yet hopeful.
6) Star Trek: The Next Generation
Again, smart people in space.
7) Babylon Five
  The stories and characters were very realistic. The writing made them all flawed and human and it made me care about them more.
8) Sherlock Holmes- Books and then new BBC 'Sherlock'
I love eccentric characters like I said, and Sherlock was one of the first! His personality was so distinctive that I couldn't help but fall in love with him on the page and on the screen.
9) Stargate: SG1
   I love archeology and blending it with Sci-Fi was fantastic! Also, love the characters, very human and believable.
10) Stargate: Atlantis
  Smart people in space again, and the stories were very original setting it apart from SG1.

   These are some of my favorites and I would love to hear about some of yours! So please let me know if you agree or disagree with these and share some that you think I missed!
