[Revolting cat!]

It was good entertainment, sure! But the obsession, the naive, liberal utopianism, the concern with current trends, the feminisms, the "racisms", and a kind of lack of humanistic perspective rising above the headlines of the day was what turned me off! It was often transparently propagandistic. I thought the potential was in the end wasted.

I agree, Revolting cat.

But I enjoyed the mind candy while it lasted.

All I can say is that I tolerated the liberal "slant" for the sake of a good science fiction, entertaining show. I am not always using my conservative filter in search of a good flick. I also liked 2001: A Space Odyssey.

But my favorite movies are good old kick butt war movies.

Agree. I much prefered the capitalist alternative Babylon-5, where political deceit, corruption and murder were still part of the social fabric, because liberal fascism was *not* assumed to be the inevitible natural order of government.
