Maybe Star Trek will try for a comeback after their new movie.

Anything more than five seasons and the show would've started to get stale.

Rumor has it that the Sci-Fi channel might be investigating a possible remake of the old 80's Buck Rogers series. I ask you, do we really need a remake of another crappy old TV show?

Look at all the great Sci-Fi shows that have come along in the last few years only to be killed off before their time. Firefly (IMHO one of the best), Threshold (Inventive and enjoyable), the 4400, Surface, The Deep, etc. With the end of Stargate and BSG the only two shows left that are worth watching are LOST and Stargate Atlantis. I hate Hero's and Doctor Who, but if you like them then you have them to watch as well.. *shudder and gage*

hmm well I enjoyed BSG but it sort of lost me awhile back. It's not that I'm not interested but a friend gives me the episodes and after the last lot I simply don't feel like bothering him for the rest. It's not them it's me, to use a cliche. I am just not into the way they frame the show. An entire episode about a boxing match? yeah I know it's meant to be representative of something and a vehicle for character interaction but I just plain think boxing is for idiots, sorry. Keep in mind I studied Martial arts for years. Boxing is not a martial art, it's 2 people slowly giving each other brain damage/parkinsons disease (yes, I don't understand why Cassius Clay is so popular). I'll be interested to see how things work out.

Now for my opinion on the other shows mentioned, and again I apologise if people disagree, no problem, it doesn't bother me people like things I find inexplicable.

Firefly: I have seen one episode I sort of liked, and that's because it had a giant Alliance battleship, but the twin problems of space travel mixed with cowboy stuff is silly. Both by themselves are ok, not that I am really interested in cowboy stuff seeing as I'm not american, but gunslingers in brown trenchcoats in space . The second problem is the intro. Clearly they got their astronomical terms mixed up which sort of lost me just as I was learning what it was.

I don't know the others except perhaps 4400 which if I remember the guy from the future is about to warn them of something when some idiot shoots him.

I love Heroes, and have been a Dr Who fan my entire life, although I must admit I find the behaviour of the latest Doctors somewhat grating. The first new one wasn't so bad, but the latest one

"Marvellous!"

oh, shut the $@%@ up.
