Re: New Galactica Series
Dang AT your getting downright hostile over there lol, Sci-Fi is really not that bad I mean look at Battlestar it's a great series so far and that's a sci-fi original.
Andromeda can only be blamed on it's writers, it was going down hill even when it was still only on channel 2, they are going way too dang mystical on us, instead of just a captain trying to rebuild the commonwealth we now have a demi-god magi type character trying to save the friggin universe.....sorry but that's cheesy
That and how many times can the reformed High Guard be destroyed? They are up to 2 so far and in this last season they are stuck in one stupid star system so we aren't seeing what's happenin to the new commonwealth, and with only 6 episodes left to the series it makes me wonder how rushed the series finale is going to be.
And oh yeah Carter's not a sex symbol it's just that they finally let her have a love life outside of the SG1 which is good since she really needed to get out in the world

Re: New Galactica Series
If you think about it, Carter has always been a sex symbol. She was just targetted to a different audience then your typical tv sex symbol. I mean, what is more attractive to the typical geeky sci-fi fan that a cute girl that could talk for hours about quantum physics.

Two cute girls that could talk for hours about quantum physics of course. Erh, perhaps drop the "about quantum physics" part.  |

Too true, we geeky guys like smart women that are also hot

Re: New Galactica Series
Andromeda's problem wasn't even the writers. A lot of it lay within Tribune who has the same mentality as UPN - except they cater to the Hercules/Xena types. Shows with one central character and a cheerleading squad to follow them around. At the end of season 3, Majel left the production and after writing like 11 episodes of season 3, RH Wolfe was fired for not being able to dumb down his work for the yokels as much as they wanted.
It also didn't help the show when Kevin Sorbo refused to sign the contracts unless he was given Executive Producer Status and forced Wolfe out.
The real sad part is that Andromeda had a lot more potential than anyone ever gave it. Like the Osiris Chronicles, Andromeda will forever burn in level of hell devoted to good ideas bastardized by idiot actors and executives.
Stargate, on the other hand, was supposed to wrap up in Season Sxi with a big Feature Film. That got pushed off to Season 7... then to season 7 finale which was to kick off Atlantis... then to season eight... then Bleh. They gave up on ending it or something.
Now if SciFi pics up Enterprise, It's be a great lead-off from Galactica or Lead-in for Stargate SG1. Hopefully the sets can be salvaged and the deal set soon. And I really hope Paramount decides to not demand full price for Enterprise, the licensng fees for star trek is insanely high. One could pay of the US National Debt faster!

Re: New Galactica Series
Just watched "6-degrees of Seperation" episode on my Tivo last night. Damn, this show is getting good! That was a really well-done episode! Great character stuff!

Re: New Galactica Series
Wait until you watch the final episode of the season. That one is a real good one.
