My favorite "Science Fiction" movie is Death Watch. It's the story of this woman who, despite the fact that cancer has been cured in this far-off future, decides to die of cancer anyway, and a reporter who stays with her, broadcasting every moment. He lost his eyes in a Middle East war and has bionic replacements. Those are the only sci-fi elements in the show. Otherwise, it's straight drama and not too far from what gets broadcast every night.

(My favorite "Sci-Fi" movie is Empire Strikes Back. I'm a lemming like everyone else.)

Harlan Ellison pronounces sci-fi "skiffy" to distinguish it from the good stuff, SF. BSG is darn close to being SF and not skiffy.
