I ♥ Sci-Fi TV Show Things
#1: Doctor Who
The ♥: I can't even do this show justice; it's only the best show on television right now. It's fun and quirky while at the same time really engaging and thought-provoking. I also appreciate the fact that the Doctor strongly espouses open-mindedness and acceptance in those around him.
Story: The Doctor is an 900+ year old alien, the last of his kind, who travels in the TARDIS through space and time, usually with a companion or companions, to help save people or avert crises.

#2: Battlestar Galactica
The ♥: While the premise seems corny, this show actually deals with some pretty heavy stuff. By setting these conflicts in a fictionalized time and place, the show is also able to present various, often conflicting viewpoints about sensitive issues in forms palatable to most audiences.
Story: Humanity is all but destroyed by sudden and large-scale cylon attacks following decades of tenuous peace, leaving only pockets of survivors – led by the only surviving military ship, a single and archaic battlestar – to fight off the remaining and inexhaustible cylon armies.

#3: Firefly
The ♥: You guys... it's a space western. How could this show NOT be fun?! They even have the old jargon and dress and mannerisms, just set in space. The characters are completely endearing and there's just the right amount of suspense and action to balance with the character narratives.
Story: A group of rag-tag smugglers on a rickety ship pick up some unusual cargo and have to outrun the government without ending up in even more trouble than they're already in.
