IMO, the best movie/TV Sci-Fi universe is still Star Wars. I just re-watched Empire (since I got the DVDs for X-Mas) and the battle on Hoth *still* gives me goosebumps. No matter how jacked up the prequels are, the "real" (ep. 4-5.5) Star Wars Universe is still gritty, real, and just plain awesome. It makes me wish Lucas never had kids so we wouldn't have to suffer the Ewok syndrome that's added goofy BS to everything since the second half of Jedi.

Star Trek tried with their later shows, but never pulled it off for me. I know what you mean about SW, I just watched Ep. 4& 5 while I was sick. Empire is my favorite one. I have beef with some of the crap added in the special editions though - Greedo firing first is an even stupider idea than Jar-Jar Binks.
