i know i am a lil late coming to this chat, but hey better late than never, lol.
i am thinking that main networks ( not the cable networks?), just don't get how to create a good series anymore. i mean a well written one, the best sample i can come up with is the series "STUDIO 60 ON THE SUNSET STRIP" i know that was not the best liked by some, but it was a well written show, but back to the sci fi shows. what i have seen of BSG, i liked, but it is most defininity for a newer generation. i am a big fan of B5, i just hope if anything is done with it is will be good. the series was so well written. it is true that star trek seems to be the only series that end on a good note, that ia because tehy higher ups have control of the show, not the networks.
