B5. Now that was a good Science Fiction show.

Crusade could have been.

Star Trek, wagon train in Spaaaaaaceeeeeeee.

The various Star Treks (TNG, the station, Voyager, etc.) lived on the hype from the first series. People kept watching hoping they would get it right. Sometimes they did but most of the time it was too PC.

The producers/writers forgot that the other captains (vice Kirk and the rest of the Enterprise crew when promoted) in all the Star Trek movies were wimps (watch em and see what I mean) and cast those captains as the new leaders. Kirk looks good because he is willing to make a decision without referring to higher authority or considering how it will look on his next evaluation.

BG2 looks good. Do not have cable or satellite. One show is not worth the money and 2000 channels of crap. Bought the DVD of the opener, probably will buy the first season too.

People kept watching hoping they would get it right.

That does sum up the main reason I watched. In the case of Voyager, I kept watching in the hope Janeway would get thrown out of the airlock. After awhile I grew some sense and stopped watching altogether.
