Myself, I only watch Gallactica lightly for Tricia Helfer & her character Six & the drama she creates w/ Baltar. I agree w/ the much needed character building that this series has taken on as opposed to the previous attempt.
You know, I don't really like her trashed out version on the show nearly as much as real life. She is just beautiful in person.
I will always be a die hard SG1 fan (even if it really starts to suck probably) & hope they can milk it for a few more seasons. I was very skeptical of Ben & Claudia being added this season & was afraid tat Scifi writers would have them too typecast from Farscape, but I was wrong & love the additions.
The one thing I'm not ever sketptical about on the writers on that show. Even though they've had a few duds, they've more than earned the benefit of the doubt.
Hope you know I wasn't putting SG-1 down to say I think BG is better at the moment.
I like the Atlantis Series but feel they could use some improvements.
It's a little closer to an average sci fi series than I would like, but they're trying and often they succeed. It's certainly the weakest of the 3 shows, BUT it's not that weak. Almost always enjoyable.
I wish they could have saved Andromeda from crappy writers, because it had promising potential.
Well, it wouldn't be fun if we agreed on everything. :o
Just like most "Roddenberry" crap that's turned up since his death (or, say, since the first episode of ST-TNG), it's just awful, cliched, predictible and so poorly written that I can't imagine that people have said the lines aloud prior to the actors getting on camera. And I gather Kevin Sorbo has sort of taken over the show? Brilliant. Not everyone is Maguyver.
I wish Tripping the Rift was still on Fridays nights. I don't know why, but in spite of it being animated, I laugh my ass off @ that show.
Well, I hope it will help them expand to another night of original drama programming... not the "reality" stuff.
Although, I can't say I'm a big fan of BG, I agree w/ you that it is nice to have a Friday night line up like scifi does. It makes the option of not partying all night on Fridays a pleasant one w/ alternatives.
That's the really cool factor, IMO. Rosina and I don't get a lot of time together, but it's really nice that if we stay in we can just unwind and watch a night of TV we both enjoy. For some folks I'm sure that's a waste, but we hardly get to see each other, so it's a really nice thing for us.
