I guess my main problem is that there is *reason* for someone to say "scifi but good"--maybe I'm just sore that there's enough bad out there to make something decent an exception.

Well, I think it comes down again to the economics of TV/movie-making. It's always easier to make a blow-em-up action/adventure story (in jumpsuits, with laser cannons - LOL.) Keep dialogue to a minimum so it can be easily subtitled for the overseas market (which is where the money is in films and even TV.)

I don't want to sound too down on BSG, because I really haven't watched that much (the mini-series pilot), and Season 3. So maybe I should quit while I'm ahead, or at least until I've watched some more ... ; )

ETA: Just got back from the library with Season One. Yay!
