I'd agree, the quality has suffered recently, mostly from the misconception that more powerful enemies automatically makes for better stories. *sigh*. > Oh anyone remember a show called "Space Above and Beyond".. had some great > potential but it got axed...

I would like to see an "outer limits" style series of short stories all set in the same universe, but not necessarily featuring any of the same characters. Kind of a "Thieves World" on TV. -- Matt
