Now I'm thinking.... Jewel Staite and pop sci-fi. There must be some magic formula between the two that I don't know about that keeps it at cult status.
I'll let you know when I find it. ~C ----- Original Message ----- From: David Bruggeman To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, May 22, 2009 8:33 PM Subject: [TV orNotTV] Re: The Hulu Hula: Part One Well, Kevin may share my particular opinion that Grace Park has difficulty acting her way into a paper sack, that Greek tragedy is really difficult to make consistently compelling, and that a show full of characters that aren't terribly likable (if at all likable) makes for a chore of a show to watch. Or he may have other completely reasonable explanations as for why Battlestar is not the uber-classic the entertainment press can't seem to praise often enough. No, I'm not a clone. I find Alec Baldwin (along with Jack McBrayer), the only reasons to suffer through 30 Rock, and enjoy Firefly immensely. The Stargate shows are just big buckets of meh. David ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: Michael <[email protected]> Hmmm. Fun read. As for my take, I thought all of them were crap when they were first released - although occasionally enjoyed the pulpy aspects of the original "Battlestar," mostly because I found it amusing that the voice of the shadowed Imperious Leader was obviously Patrick "John Steed" Macnee of "The Avengers," a classy, droll show I still revere. And yes, Valerie Bertinelli was pretty damned cute back in the day (and back to MILF-iness since the dieting, I'd say). As for the disdain you seem to express towards the terrific, thoughtful update of "BSG," I can only shrug and lump it in with your hatred of Alec Baldwin as another of life's inexplicable oddities.
