OTOH, I have become disgusted with a recent offering of nominally SF TV series where I am convinced that the only way they achieve un-predictability is by making things up as they go along, with no destination in mind "What can we do this week that will be really weird?" (ie "Lost") That works OK in sitcoms and (older) series where there wasn't necessarily supposed to be continuity, but I'm finding the soap-opera style very annoying in series that claim"continuity" of their major plot line...
