This looks like the last posting for 2010 (unless something shows up). I would like to wish you all and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Here is hoping that SciFi improves in 2011!

A very good Eureka..

List of SciFi shows that is respectful to religion:
1. The Old Star Trek
2. Babylon 5
3. Stargate (SG1, SGA, and SGU)
4. The Old Battlestar Galactica (Despite the influence of Mormonism and nothing wrong with it).
5. The New Battlestar Galactica

Anything else??

Right now, I can’t. Considering B5 was written by an atheist, it was very fair towards religion.

Interesting that your list has the best sci-fi shows ever.

Maybe it has something to do with when writers don't have to go out of their way to be politically correct, they can more easily work on writing a quality show.

List of SciFi shows that is respectful to religion:

Firefly. Shepherd Book (Nathan Fillion) is treated with respect (even if Crazy River decided that his Bible needed some modifications). Malcolm Reynolds (Nathan Fillion) is shown kissing a cross hanging around his neck before going into battle when he was a sergeant in the Independent army. After the loss in that battle he turned bitter about religion and many other things

The new Star Trek is very respectful to religions (as long as they are pagan). I mean come on, in the last seasons of TNG and DS9 every other episode featured Klingon spirituality.

Rod Serling’s “Twilight Zone” was usually allegorical, but respected religion because he wouldn’t have lasted on the air at that time otherwise. Yeah, look past the spacemen Adam & Eve and Robert Redford as Death, and there were other stories of Heaven and Hell, which were played fairly straightforward.

One thing on SGU (particularly directed at those who can’t get past the lesbians): when they thought they were dying because they were about to fly into a star, those behind broke into two camps: party till the end and prayer service. The people playing were playing the Our Father (and presumably the Rosary), not some generic New Age spiritual whatever.

I watched a movie called Moon over the weekend. It was pretty good. I’m sure others here have seen it.

Hey, Kevin. For your scheduling: I got the new t.v. guide today, and saw something that caught my eye. They are having a new season of Primeval and it begins on January 1. BBCAmerica gets it at the same time as the UK. Here is the link to the info: Primeval

Some new cast members, including the doctor from DS9.
