Showtime droped it about half way through the season and SiFi picked it up. IN true "SiFi channel" style they have tried to reinvent the seris and make it more appealling to the general population, IMO there has been only 2 margionaly rewatchable episodes since then in season 6..(I know that season 7 is done in the states but up in the great white north we only just finished season 6)... that being said I can still sit down a watch almost all of teh older shows with no problem or question to story line... IMO SiFi has destroyed what was once a show with so much... potential and given far less... SG: atalantis i think will die a horrible death.. Oh anyone remember a show called "Space Above and Beyond".. had some great potential but it got axed... As For "BSG" Caught the 2 mini series about a month ago...loved it though found it lacking in some areas "actor wise" .... Can't wait till the series comes out...IMO it will probably be better then ST enterprise (too bad its on the bubble..) _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
