Star Wars and I would be Dark Vader. Would be much more effective. No prisoners and no cheap chat, specially with Luke Skywalk, do I care if he is supposedly my son, actually the court never agreed to have a paternity test. And since I am no longer a Jedi, the hell with the gay laser saber fight, I will just shoot him with a much more effective laser gun.
Then I would brake the 4th wall, start crying like a baby and ask the die hard fans: "Can you please go home, let this franchise die already and let me..." oh wait, if I continue with that I might get banned. But to be honest, Star Wars, You were one of my best childhood memories but after 30 years and so much rape to the old lore and original series spirit, you could RIP once and for all, will you?!

Mass Effect most likely.
I would get to live in the universe that houses some of my favourite characters in gaming such as Ashley, Wrex, Garrus, Tali, Liara, Thane, Grunt, Legion, Samara, Mordin and many others.
Plus as well as having aliens and being in a world full of spaceships and lasers I would get to befriend and if I so desire sleep with aliens.
I could do that.

I'd say Star Wars. Sure, there's a lot of war going around, but the average citizens don't really seem affected by it. They just live their lives and have the soldiers duke it out on some faraway battlefield of no tactical significance.
The Culture
Immortality? Check
Post Scarcity? Check
Anything you want, like really anything, short of enslaving another sentient? Check
Benevolent eternal AIs running society? Check
Casual recreational sex and drug use? Sure why not
Ultra liberal pacifist society that can nonetheless vaporize star systems if people piss them off? Yep
Feel like transferring your consciousness into a tennisball sized flying robot? Okay

Brothers Strugatsky' Noon Universe.
Basically... It's our universe, with super-developed technology that completely changed the meaning of life for people and cleansed the environment, at that, too. Space travel is more then possible, Earth and similar planets are rather idyllic places where one can travel anywhere using teleport booths, everything is practically free because everyone is a super-communist and most of the work is not done by humans anyways...
So most humans seem to either enjoy life or at least stay out of the picture, in a humanistic/communistic fashion everyone works to improve shit for humanity, and the only really dangerous job is being a "progressor" which is basically an agent that gets sent to less developed alien planets (and many aliens in Noon universe are practically humans. There are also a few other alien races, some completely incomprehensible to humans) and tries to guide said planets out of whatever dark ages they reside in to a better existence.
And there's really no danger from anything because humans are the super-advanced communist state (and I don't mean the cold war type of communist, it's the fun kind here. More like anarcho-communism, actually. You're free to do practically anything as long as you fuck over other people. There's no nationalism or charismatic leader killing millions) and any other violent cultures are not capable of space travel because they're stuck in Dark Ages/ Mid 20th century, the less human-like alien cultures are either friendly or ignore the fuck out of each other because there's nothing for them to do considering that apparently there's no need for aggressive resource harvesting because there are almost magical replicating machines that basically make a copy of anything you put in there, with out even a pseudo-scientific reason given - although you can assume some kind of iffy "build-from-the-scraps-out-of-random-molecules" process might be involved.
The aliens are pretty kick-ass, too. There's a race of mutant dog-like animals with giant heads and apparent slight psychic powers, who are friendly to humans but overall tend to ignore them, there's a biological civilization living on one planet that basically has no technology but apparently has bio-engineered creatures to fill their every need and the planet is an absolute paradise completely under their control...
And at one point a super-human "race" emerges, and they're basically the next step of human evolution and they don't really care about much so they go off and keep out of contact with everyone because they're too advanced to bother.
The only potentially globally dangerous alien race are the travelers who are an ancient super-advanced race who have apparently traveled around the universe and done a lot of funky stuff way before humans existed. Apparently they got an underground city on Mars, Phobos and Deimos are not natural satellites, but instead super-ancient satellites so high-tech nobody knows what they do or what they're supposed to do despite all the attempts to understand them. Although those travelers did a lot of weird shit on at least a few planets, having an almost mystical presence. But by all means, they're probably some kind of super-super-super-advanced race of ubermensch who would be completely impossible to understand at this level of human evolution.
I don't even know why I wrote this whole rant, unless you're Russian you probably have never heard about Brothers Strugatsky. Although I might add that some of the setting in the game S.T.A.L.K.E.R. seems to be heavily based on one of their stories that doesn't take place in Noon Universe. But there, aliens did it. The story's "Roadside Picnic" or something like that, I hear it's been printed in English a few times. But the connection is pretty vague, really.
Still, as a huge fan of science fiction - especially hard science fiction - Brothers Strugatsky are literally my favorite writers even against such awesome people like Isaac Asimov, Clarke, and so on.

Initially I went with Firefly, cause being a space cowboy would be cool. I'd happily be a sharpshooter on Mal's crew.
Silent runnings through reaper land. Stocking up in old country markets and high tech dystopia planets. Setting traps for people who set us up and having a hot chick kill everything when we get cornered. Awesome.
But then this:
