    It doesn't have a "name". It was a mini-series. A 2 part movie basically.

    Also, just remembered another BSG movie called "The Plan" which came out at the end of the series. It details how the Cylons come up with their plan.

    DEFINITELY do not want to watch that till you finish everything else or you will be spoiled on the series BIG TIME>

    Think he might be thinking of BSG Razor

    http://www.amazon.com/Battlestar-Galactica-Unrated-Extended-Edition/dp/B000V5IP6K


    Which detailed the goings on of the Pegasus, in the box set its in about the middle of the full series.

    Nothing better than pulling up a five and a half year old thread (and coming out of Clutchfans retirement) to say I'm finally into Deep Space Nine. About halfway through season 5 now and I'm rather stunned that it might be challenging Next Generation as my favorite Trek. The first 2 seasons are a chore, but good GOD does it take off after that. Worth the investment and sorry I doubted those of you that urged me to continue back in 2012. I haven't posted here in a long time, but while watching it I remembered this thread being what originally motivated me to watch DS9 and wanted to tip the hat.

    The back half of DS9 and first half of BSG are space TV at its best.

    Babylon 5 is similar in that after season 1, it goes to another level.

    WestWorld

    SciFi - Western - Drama hybrid

    They likely replicate other historical locations.

    I'm still sticking with Babylon 5 as my "bestest ever," even if that last season was pretty meh. But ask me again after I'm done with the Dominion War.

    Check thread title in quotations.

    You should start another poll regarding non-"space sci-fi ". That would include The Twight Zone, Dr Who, X-Files, Lost (??), Orphan Black, Stranger Things, West World, Humans, etc

    What is not could very well be.....need to see where the journey takes us.

    Question is - Will Futureworld happen? Is a Space Station theme park a Space station after all?

    I wish Farscape got more love than it currently does. It was all the things people love about Guardians of the Galaxy long before they even knew about that. Amazing series.

    Always Stargate for me. Between SG-1, Atlantis and Universe half my life Stargate was on the air. After that BSG\Firefly.

    Glad you are enjoying it. And so right, the back half of that show is outstanding. It really picks up after season 2.

    Seems like this would have been turned into a series by now.

    About halfway through season 5 & the Dominion War has officially begun. My jaw drops open about every 2-3 episodes. Love Ronald D. Moore's writing style.

    I was such a huge SG-1 fan. Really enjoyed Atlantis, wish it had gotten at least another season. Universe never grabbed me. Definitely a franchise I hope comes back to TV one day.
