Yeah Berman made a mistake when he didn't sign her for a seventh season. She wanted more money and Paramount wouldn't pay her.
DS9 had some of the best secondary characters in any Sci Fi Series.
I remember when we find out that the head of the Obsidian Order was Garrick's father, what a shocker!
I loved Gul Du Kat.
SciFi announced today that they are picking up the second season of "Doctor Who," starting with a two-hour season premiere on September 29. They'll run "The Christmas Invasion" back to back with "New Earth."
"Christmas Invasion" was a special that ran last Christmas, and then left us fans waiting until March for the true season premiere, "New Earth".
Still no premiere date from the BBC on "Torchwood" yet though...
As a new Dr Who fan, I'm ready...
To be quite honest, I was one of those people who was fan of the original BSG. I gave the new BSG a chance. I'm glad I did..
I hope not.. Look what happend to Firefly on Fox.
TNG was getting boring at the end. To me Voyager was the worst Trek show and I think it killed the franchise.
2 days before my Birthday..
Voyager was hideously bad - that had to cart out some T&A to give the show a shot in the arm. Enterprise was rough, too. DS9 was the best of that whole lot, but even that is not a great compliment.
Well the last season of Enterprise was the best.. I agree with you on Enterprise being bad.
I was only intrigued by the appearance of a prior generation Dr. Soong. Aw hell, I was just happy to see Brent Spiner again. :-)
I liked it how the Federation was about to be formed.
I liked the Vulcan chick, Seven of Nine, and Annoying Dax.
Guess why? ;-)
Those episodes are very good, and they're all I've seen so far, since I'm just getting into the show on my brother-in-law's advice. But the most jarring thing to me is that Adama & the President seem to treat Baltar as though he's a rational stable, resource for detecting Cylons, or whatever -- when actually, every time he's on screen, the guy looks like he's on the verge of a nervous breakdown or bursting into tears at any moment. Is this just over-acting by Callis?
May Berman and Braga burn in hell for destroying the Star Trek Franchise..
I hope RDM redos Buck Rogers....
