[QUOTE="Darrin Drader, post: 941952, member: 7394"] Let me preface this with 'I love science fiction moveis and TV.' But it seems that lately there's been nothing worth watching coming out of the genre. I used to love Babylon 5, Star Trek TNG, the X-Files, Hercules, and even Farscape. All gone now, and what has come along of the same caliber to replace them? I've tried Stargate SG1 and it just hasn't worked for me. Too low budget, uncompelling characters... blah! I never really watched Buffy or Angel, but I will give them credit for being good shows. Buffy's already gone. Then there's the shows that should have been good, like Firefly and Crusade, which were killed off before they were ever given a chance to succeed. What's worse is that with all the reality TV that's all the rage right now, even the Scifi channel is getting in on that rather than offering good original programming. Even the latest Star Trek movie was a major disappointment. I've given Enterprise a chance, and it seems to be much better than Voyager, but not as good as TNG. And Star Wars... don't get me started on Star Wars. I admit that it is entirely possible that I'm just being overly critical or even missing the boat entirely. Please don't take this as me just flaming your favorite shows. So is the problem that I'm just not exposing myself to the right shows, or is there a real problem with Scifi/fantasy now? I'm interested in other opinions. [/QUOTE]
