Blech! Unfortunetly I agree. :(

BSG (Battlestar Galactica), the new one, is showing exceptional promise.
Luckily they removed most of the pseudo-Egyptian motifs (leaving them for
SG-1, I guess) and replaced them with more realistic and scary Cylons.

However, I'd still vote for Farscape over BSG as the best SF on TV so far.
I might even go so far as last season (in the US) of Dr. Who; whoever
(NPI) played the doctor was fabulous.
