[QUOTE="John Crichton, post: 2263535, member: 4779"] No pure fantasy, but there never really was. Yeah, there was Hercules and Xena but I don't really count those (no offense to any fans out there). As for sci-fi, I consider Lost to be close enough for my liking. The last season of Enterprise (if you remove the first 2 eps and the last ep) was really good but is now dead. But yeah, there isn't much in way of sci-fi/fantasy around these days. But there is still some very good stuff that is geek-genre. Smallville, for example. And I hear that 24 show is pretty good. And Alias is a spy-show but it does have lots of high-tech stuff going on so I count it as geek-genre, if not sci-fi. I've stated in multiple threads that I think we are going into a slow time for geek-genre TV. But, this past season (Fall 04/Spring 05) surprised the heck out of me with all the new shows that were of very high quality like Veronica Mars, Lost, Battlestar Galactica, Rescue Me and Eyes. There was a similar time (remember the 80's?) where there wasn't much in the way of sci-fi/fantasy programming. The 90's were teriffic, however. So many great shows had there run during that time period. With superhero and fantasy movies being so popular some shows are bound to pop up sooner or later. We'll probably have a Star Wars show within a couple years, I wouldn't be suprised if Trek doesn't put out something in the next 2-3 years. Maybe Firefly will come back if the movie does well. Highly doubtful but stranger things have happened. Joss Whedon may come back to TV in the next few years and JJ Abrams (Lost, Alias) has a bounty hunter TV show in the works. This upcoming season may not look great, but I have hope for the future. In the meantime I will cope by watching stuff that is close. :) Oh, and there is one show that I am looking forward to - [url="http://www.aintitcoolnews.com/display.cgi?id=20210"]http://www.aintitcoolnews.com/display.cgi?id=20210[/url] I have faith in Tim Minear. He rocked the Buffyverse, Firefly and Wonderfalls. EDIT: And just to throw more gas on the fire, here is the major network schedule for the Fall '05 season: [url]http://www.aintitcoolnews.com/display.cgi?id=20275[/url] No sci-fi/fantasy there, either.
