Since several of you have mentioned sci-fi TV, I'll add this, even if it is slightly off topic:
Star Trek is better watching than most of what's around, but for Tolkien lovers try Babylon 5 - it's more epic, not as static, very fascinating and has plenty of Tolkien references.
Back to what's really important in life - books - C.S.Lewis' sci-fi trilogy has lots of deep thinking in it. There's a line in Perelandra that still sends shivers down my spine: "My name, too, is Ransom."
