Well, I really like my quality sci-fi, theres a lot of garbage out there. So i would highly recommend the following:

Star Trek - Next Generation series

Star Trek - Enterprise

Star trek movies (all, but mainly nemesis and first contact)

Stargate Sg-1 (series 2-8)

and... i guess star wars, tho it's not that good imo

Sure

Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis (less good than SG-1 IMO) is all about a stargate that has been discovered that allow men to travel to far away worlds.

Cleopatra 2525 is about a dancer who has been cryogenised and wake up years later in a world where machines rule the Earth but not the underground.

Star Trek and Star Wars, well everyone know that :)

Farscape is about an astronault (I don't remember the full story) but end up with aliens on distant worlds and want to go back on Earth.

Battlestar Gallactica is about a war between humans and machines on a gallactic level.

If you loved firefly (great series), then you should watch Serenity. It's basically the firefly movie.

I was about to suggest Firefly... but I see you've seen it already...

Did you see Serenity? Awesome movie.

As for shows... Other than what's been listed I can't really think of anything.

Farscape and Battlestar Galactica are the only really good ones, imo. I can give you the name of a few good sci-fi books if you want.
