Went for Stargate Atlantis as that's what i think (well, duh), but i'm most looking forward to lost.

Lost (10%)
Battlestar Galactica (36%)
Stargate Atlantis (36%)
Global Frequency (3%)
None of them (15%)

I have it on rather good authority that Atlantis is a big pile of poop! Apparently the only good thing that its done is prove how fab SG1 is so it won't get cancelled.
I voted for Lost because its one of JJ Abram's babies and that guy is a god!

Stargate Atlantis is a spinoff of Stargate SG-1, and having watched the first 9 episodes, it's pretty entertaining genre fluff. Not particularly better or worse than SG-1.

Lost is the new series from J.J. Abrams (creator of Alias, and writer of many films). It focusses on an eclectic group of people who survive a plane crash, finding themselves on an island that is more than what it initially seems to be.
I've seen the two-episode pilot and have to say it is simply excellent. The cast is varied and talented, the writing is brilliant and it was generally an excellent couple of hours.
Global Frequency is the one i know least about. It's based on a comic (by Warren Ellis, i think?).

I answered the question unlike some people who put which is thier favorites, Atlantis probably has the best chance, but i hope Lost is given a chance.

Yeah Global Frequency is By Warren Ellis, very talented writer. Its about a global organisation who basically clean up after the 20th centurys problems that have been covered over, but not got rid of. like landmines. when 'one' is tripped, a GF agent comes and deals with it. And a GF agent could be anybody at any time. anybody can be recruited.

Id like this show to do well,as it is written by Warren Ellis, it should be quiet amusing in a twisted kind of way.
I can see Stargate Atlantis doing the best as it follows the same formula as SG1 and look at how long thats run.
