Your first sentence does not follow from the second, as you assume. Do you think that *real* people don't crack jokes and have fun during a war? That's one of the things that makes them *human*, fer chrissakes. Pretending that everyone walks around serious all the time rings false, because it *is*. > There were occassional flashes of humor. Cool. I missed them in my few viewings of the show. Don't get me wrong...if someone laid the whole series on me and I had the time, I'd give it a shot. I just came in halfway through, and really *tried* to care about any of the characters, but couldn't. Compare and contrast to Firefly. I know people who caught one episode, without any of the back story, and were instantly hooked. That's rare in a space opera. > View from the Gallery was told from the perspective of > the station janitors during a space battle, for instnce. That could be done well. I'd have to see it to figure out which one. I just never caught the wave, and when I tried to catch up, it *really* didn't hold my attention. I think the issue might have been the casting and/or the characters. I'd say that I saw five or six episodes, but I can't remember even one of the characters.
