Lets see... as for books, definitely Starship Troopers, the Succession novels by Scott Westerfeld (a really good two-book series), the Unincorporated series by Dani and Eytan Kollin, and most any Star Wars novel, especially the Thrawn trilogy.

For movies... Star Trek II and VI (Fry from Futurama is right about the first six Star Trek movies averaging out to be pretty good), the Original Trilogy (not special edition - HAN SHOT FIRST!), the new JJ Abrams Star Trek, Starship Troopers again (purely as a stand-alone movie, since it's a terrible adaptation of the book), Stargate, Serenity, and that's about it. I don't watch many sci-fi movies.

TV - definitely Babylon 5 (the show and the movies, the best of those being In The Beginning), all the Star Trek series (even the animated series) particularly DS9 and Enterprise, all the Stargate series (completely agree with you about Atlantis and Universe being cancelled prematurely), the reimagined Battlestar Galactica, Fringe, Firefly and the new V (both also cancelled way too soon), and that's all I can really think of...
