1. Besides my Trekkie orientation, I'm a fan of Stargate SG1 and Stargate Atlantis. Those series are well comparable to Star Trek in any way.
2. Maybe it will be a weird answer but in this case my favorite is BBC's Doctor Who. Just look at this primitive but very effective Main title sequence from 1963. which was made only by Valve tube camera and various interferences with some TV monitors. Music part created by Delia Derbyshire was made only by oscillators, noise generators and similar devices, recorded and played by four reel tape recorders (manually synchronized) and most important thing is that every tape was cutted more than 100-150 times and combined with an adhesive tape AND A RULER (!!!) to achieve the right lenght of every single tone and noise. That was pure art of picture and sound. Remember, in 1963. there was no keyboards, synthesizers and no PCs like today.
Kris, who said that Techno and Trance began in 21st century? :-)
Delia Derbyshire was, in my opinion, a far beyond the time. Beside her music and technical knowledge she had a great vision of the future music ways. Unfortunately, sometimes she was misunderstood and when the BBC bosses decided to cancel Radiophonic workshop, that was a great psychological impact for Delia and that was for sure the beginnig of her ending :-(
Fortunately, after her death, hundreds of tapes with some unique Delia's works was found on the attic of her house.
Ooops sorry, well I have to admit I never saw a single episode of any of the various incarnations. But judging from this title sequence, it deserves its cult following :D
You have one of great Doctor Who fan right here >:-(
LOL
Must say that I've collected every single broadcasted episodes & movies and also all reconstructed stories. Totaly mad man, izitso? :-)
Wow, especially considering how old it is, it's really awesome! Back in the day, it must've taken sheer genius to make the letters shape up like that... One of those transitions almost looks like morphed! Chapeau, messieurs!
I also love the music, I'm a big fan of Carpenter-esque tunes anyway... Only that kitschy part that sounds like christmas kind of sucks... Oh my, better not have any Doctor Who fans read this ;P

Some of Delia Derbyshire's work in the 1960s was so cutting edge that it still sounds modern today:
