Shows that feel likeStar Trek: Voyager (1995–2001)

Pulled to the far side of the galaxy, where the Federation is 75 years away at maximum warp speed, a Starfleet ship must cooperate with Maquis rebels to find a way home.

If you loved Star Trek: Voyager, the closest series we have are Stargate Atlantis (2004), Stargate SG-1 (1997) and Battlestar Galactica (2004). All three share Star Trek: Voyager's cerebral and dreamlike feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Stargate Universe (2009).
