Tongiht Sci-Fi listing:
Star Trek Enterprise: Part 1 of 2, this is the mirror universe episodes...
I completely forgot about Blakes7!!! I loved that show when I was a teen... The PBS station had it for a time and I made time every Sunday night to watch it.
Never seen Blakes 7...
You obviously have not seen the sci-fi-anime-mecha-pop culture parody series "Megas XLR" on Cartoon Network. ;p
But I always liked Raelee Hill too.
I'm not quite sure what the problem was. The original opening title turned me off for a couple of years.
I didn't become a fan until season three.
That was fun, mindless entertainment. I would have liked El Blanco to take care of more EPA/BLM/Envirowhackos and just
plain bad people.
Gene Roddenberry's Earth: Final Conflict was pretty good, too, but I didn't really like the final season. I thought the Taelons made for interesting "Bad guys" who weren't totally evil.
I really, really can't get into Andromeda these days. Half the time it's incomprehensible metaphysical stuff, the rest of the time they're just stuck on Seefra with nothing to do.
Farscape rocked.
Stargate is by far one of the best shows since the original Star Trek.
The new BSG has done a great job of reinventing the original series, much in the way that Smallville did for the Superman mythology. I'm becoming increasingly convinced that the colonists originally came from Earth and not the other way around as they did in the original series.
We don't get UPN here either. From what I read in the review at TrekNation.com., it sounds as if the roots of the Mirror Universe go back through humanity's entire history. The reviewer brought up a good point when he asked how humanity survived with all the backstabbing that goes on there!
just finished watching it. wow! that rocked, hate to wait a week for part 2. Long Live the Empire!
I agree in part, but its more than just PC.
I read that the reason BSG (the new one) had a hard time being made was that 'suits' were CONSTANTLY telling producers/writes to "lighten it up".
To depressing, to somber, not enough humor or sex... that kind of stuff.
Crap, if there was any more sex on that show, it would be "Caligula's Orgy in Space".
Yeah I know what you mean, like is there going to e a cylons gone wild video series. They could you know.
The colonist in the new BSG still had the orgins.. Planet Kobol... Killed by the y2k bug...
I just watched it (recorded last night) - Woah!! Even the opening credits and theme music were "mirror universe" versions - nice touch!
UN-REAL episode... best one of all Enterprise if you ask me.

JUst wanted to say that the soundtrack sounds of the ORIGIONAL ST when they fired up the ORIGIONAL ENTERPRIsE:
were great... love to hear the "boop...eeep...badouuubt" from the ole' days.
Yeah, I liked that, too. I recall noticing the same thing in the TNG episode "Relics", where they find Scotty "frozen" in a transporter memory buffer. Also, the last few minutes of ST-IV, showing the maiden voyage of NCC-1701-A, featured more of the "old" sound effects.
It's interesting seeing them show the "old" ship as something from the future - good thing they didn't show the Defiant's helm station too closely - with its *mechanical* digital chronometer. :-)
I hope someone at Paramount is watching the response to this episode carefully - it'd be very interesting to base an entire series in the "mirror universe".
I would say B-5 is number 3 behind Farscape and Stargate SG-1.
Why couldn't they do this from the start.
They had go with the temporal cold war......
