Oh it's beYOND flawed. It's slapped together. Besides the reasons I've pointed out earlier, the fact that they mix TV and movies but skip anime completely shows that whoever edited this piece is not on their sci-fi game. Cowboy Bebop is SO much more important than Starship Troopers, and

The simple explanation to this list is: consider the source. I trust Entertainment Weekly with science fiction reviews like I trust them wit h advice on fixing my car. Sci-Fi is not EW's element. I don't think there's a member of that editorial staff that's SEEN DS9. If Galactica

Ultraviolet was awesome in that it had both Jack Davenport AND Idris Elba, arguably giving their best performances. I think it's time for Idris (aka DJ Driis, and he's actually not that bad a DJ) to bring the accent back. He's proven he can act. Now it's time to bring a little
