As for me, I've started rewatching my favorite series in the original language. I began with the classic "Star Trek" with Kirk and Spock, then binged "Lexx," followed by "Babylon 5," and now it's "Stargate SG-1." I watched the first three with subs (English), but I couldn't find Stargate with subs, so I snapped and just downloaded it in English without them. I'm almost at the end of the first season now and everything is going smoothly; I feel almost no discomfort and understand nearly everything perfectly, only missing a couple or three phrases per episode. I think over all ten seasons I'll actually learn to understand spoken English well, yay.
And guys, the effect of the original voice acting is just stunning; you look at the characters through completely different eyes. No matter how great the localized voice actor is, the original image will still be distorted—certain intonations, voices, and accents are lost. I mean, damn, in the original, Londo from "Babylon" has such a funny way of speaking, but the translation didn't convey that at all. In short, dubbing is fine, but for full immersion, the original is still better. And this doesn't just apply to English.
And since I'm watching Stargate, yes—the first seasons are the best; later the series will slide into repetitions, recycling old ideas instead of generating new ones, it'll be cluttered with a bunch of secondary characters, and a moment will come when expanding the universe is replaced by simply oversaturating it and all that. Also, at some point, the team composition will change, and then twice over. These guys are the best and most canonical lineup; once I finish watching, I'll definitely talk about each of them in the favorite characters thread (well, you already know Sam is a cutie, but she's not the only one).
P.S. If anyone knows any worthwhile space series, feel free to suggest some. Just not "Firefly"—I started watching it once and couldn't get past two episodes. And no need for "Farscape," I've already been recommended that; it's in the queue. And if you suggest "Doctor Who," I'll just start laughing like crazy, because that's already my favorite series.
