That haynt no geek fix. Incredibily unimaginative drivel. I hear some geeks
like that Stargate SG-7 show.
Ever see that one with the Talons? By Roddenberry....Earth Final Conflict?
What did you make of that one? I thought it seemed like it had some
potential, but could never seem to understand what the hell was going on.
It's like a soap opera, where if you don't watch continuously from the
beginning, you don't understand the plot. I gave it several shots, but have
long since abandoned it.
Futurama is more comedy, but it works on a sci fi level. Unfortunately, it's
done.
And the one with the ugly ass space ape with the hair hat that goes 'you're
fired'! Not sure I get the gist of that one at all.

Roddenberry also made the Andromeda show that is in season 5. Majel is
executive producer.
It's a little confusing to just jump in in the middle, especially this
season, but I like it.
It stars Kevin Sorbo of Herc. fame, and every now and then they have an
in-joke, like when the ship gets taken over and he goes to his secret
stash of "force lances" and there's a two handed sword in there.

The first season was intriguing and delved into some odd corners
concerning what it would do to OUR cultures when one like that was
superimposed over it. It was truly bizarre in enough places that I got
off on it.
The second season started mincing around in its tights and chewing the
carpet a lot. They got rid of two of the most interesting characters at
the beginning of and the middle of this season, which screwed up the
dynamic, such as it was. Little was done to further things set up in the
first season, as if some crackheaded beach bum fired any writer who
wouldn't give him the Honolulu Gum Job.
The third season was one-ply toilet paper soaked in some chemical glop
that made you break out in a rash when you wiped with it. It quickly
became like the 3rd-rate, syndicated shit-shows such as She-Spies, about
which I only know anything because I saw a promo for it.
I'll give Gene some points because the initial idea was quite good. The
first season represents his idea best, in my big fat slithering opinion.
Plus they never made action figures or little bug-like ships I could
tape to my PC, so fuck 'em.

Sci-fi channels remake of Battlestar Galactica is pretty realistic and
almost believable. Starbuck is now a woman and boy would I like to drink
her bathwater!

There is always professional wrestling, or maybe Shatner's tekwar is out on
dvd.
