Good catch! Star Blazers was excellent. "Deslock, Deslock, Deslock!"
I added it.
You can pick your top 3.

Shouldn't have made it multiple choice. Any answer that isn't DS9 is wrong.

Stargate SG-1 is great. From your list, I like BSG, ST:TNG, ST: DS9, Babylon 5, and if I squint, Voyager. I really hate the little kid on Voyager though.

From the list DS9, B5, BSG (No aliens in BSG technically).

The Expanse is also fantastic, although the focus isn't so much on hot alien babes so you can be forgiven for not including it.

I recall thinking fondly of Farscape and Stargate SG1 as well.

For some reason I had a hard time "getting into" the Expanse. Perhaps I should try again.
Never watched Lexx. I'll check that out as well.

There was also another one I think called "Revolution" or about a world-wide power outage. It was good. No aliens though.

The kid(Naomi) on Voyager was great. Her and Seven made a great pair. I'd have to have seen more of them together.

Not exactly space based, but he is an alien who arrived from space.

Not space based and you don't really see the aliens IIRC but Colony was a good series. Only had 2 seasons (maybe 3?) but got cancelled. The Expanse was also awesome and probably my favorite sci-fi series overall. But I'm late to the party, The Expanse was probably the first SF show I really got into.

Of the listed, I did watch ST Voyager so I voted for that. Haven't even seen any of the others listed lol

Was Revolution the one with nanobots?
Just finished rewatching Lexx, the only reason I watched that was Zev of B3K (and Bunny).
others that came to mind were Falling Skies and Defiance.

Wasn't there an octopus who came from his planet that he rescued?

SG-1 is probably my favorite (specifically seasons 2-8, the others weren't as good).

Also, how does this poll have most Star Treks but doesn't have TNG‽
