Oh by the way, have you caught the announcement that Enterprise is cutting 2 shows this season and may be getting cancelled? <a href="http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/art-main.html?2003-12/10/11.30.rumors" target="_blank">http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/art-main.html?2003-12/10/11.30.rumors</a> If that happens, I predict that will put the final nail in the coffin of the once mighty Trek franchise. Its unfortunate, but people are tired of seeing the same old drivel rehashed an infinite number of times.I don't know, I actually bought that Tigh was a drunk, but not so much that he was a vertebrate. But that was kind of the point. I like that they put some tension between the characters and that there's some human drama. I've been complaining for a long time that if you strip away the special effects, scifi relies too much upon the effect new technology has on a culture. Some of it without the special effects would be nothing at all (see SW episode I). Much of it is completely dry and devoid of any emotion whatsoever. I've been hoping someone would make a human story as opposed to a science story within the genre of science fiction for a while. It should therefore come as no surprise to anyone that I loved Solaris.</blockquote>
