Media, media, media. No note of the Heinlein centennial?
There was a posting about the Heinlein centennial.....
If ‘best’ meant how many times I’ve watched it, I’d toss out Farscape for Star Trek Second Generation. Other than that, agree completely.
What about the worst? I’ll start the list with “Painkiller Jane”, It’s truly painful to watch: bad script, bad acting...
What happened to The Dresden Files? I really enjoyed the show.
No news so far....
Dr. WHO and The 4400, are in one weekend.
(and it was 2 and 1/2 hours of Doctor Who!!)
Andromeda went downhill from the time he went into the event horizon. I really liked the stuff that happened before then. I didn't much care for the rest of the cast afterward. But, yeah, I know what you mean. There was still some good stuff in that first season.

(not saying that he shouldn't have gone into the event horizon -- that was the point of the show. I just didn't like anyone that came after. Rommy was hot. All three of her.)
What I liked about Andromeda was trying to bring the Systems Commonwealth together, then Kevin Sorbo took over the show and then it downhill....
I just can’t get into the new BSG. I agree it’s a really good show. It’s got great acting, great special effects and a great soundtrack, but the complete absence of a sense of humor makes it hard for me to watch on a regular basis.
Runaway Bride epitomizes the direction of the new series of Doctor Who. It is a family entertainment first and a sci-fi show second. Scientifically, the episode made no sense. But the interactions between the Bride and the Doctor were funny. Hence, I give the Runaway Bride a grade of B-.
Smith & Jones could easily have been the pilot episode of the New series. A great show to introduce non-fans to Doctor Who. Its fast paced and introduced us to Martha Jones, whose much cuter and smarter than Rose Tyler. So, I give Smith and Jones a grade of B+.
Aintitcool.com has some supposed spoilers from BSG actors that make it sound like BSG is continuing it’s slide off the railroad tracks....
Looking forward to the Lost Tales, I just need to watch all my Crusade DVDs before I get it.
Well according to SyFy Portal, there is going to be false information leaking, so I would take the spoilers with a grain of salt.
The upcoming Dr who episode, Shakespeare Code, is a comedic jokefest. Lots of jokes about the Bard’s plays and Harry Potter. I give the Shakespeare Code a grade of A-.
I watched the episode with an African-American friend. He was offended by the episode at the fact that Martha Jones did not experience violent forms of racism. He claimed the episode downplayed the evils of racism in European cultures.
My response to your friend is that I want to watch tv not be preached at...
