[Suggestions] Space Opera

[principehomura]

Hi everyone, I'm in the mood of a nice, 90-ish early 2000-ish space opera series.
I thought I was going with Farscape, that at a first look seemed the most interesting one.
Then I looked further and also Babylon 5 seems interesting.
Then I remembered Andromeda and the Stargate series.

So why not ask the board's opinion?
Which one do you think is better among them, and why?

Of the same genre I've seen Battlestar Galactica and Firefly.
I'm not interested at the moment in any of the Star Trek series, they are too much and I'm looking for something more... kitch and naif.

You might want to have a look at Space: Above and Beyond as well. And possibly Earth 2. Both were short-lived but great.

1. Babylon 5
2. Farscape

So, the only shows on this list I would really consider space operas are Farscape, which is is awesome, and Andromeda, not so much. That being said the other shows are great too but all very different from each other. I'm a huge Stargate fan but you have to start with SG-1 then move on to Atlantis for a lot of things to make sense.

Stargate SG-1
Stargate Atlantis
Farscape

It's funny to watch Farscape after SG-1 though. The totally different chemistry Ben Browder and Claudia Black create (than what they created in FS) is pretty awesome.
