TV sci-fi renaissance?

Is TV sci-fi back? PoliBlog’s Steven Taylor takes note of the recent improvements in Enterprise (or is it Star Trek: Enterprise?), Stargate Atlantis has had a fairly impressive first half-season, and I hear, since I wouldn’t want to go against the wishes of creator Ron Moore and use BitTorrent to download any episodes before the scheduled January U.S. debut, that the new Battlestar Galactica series is the most kick-ass TV sci-fi since Firefly.

Both SG1 and SGA are getting signed on for new seasons; I am so happy. As for Battlestar Galactica, man, you tempt me so!

 

Yes, it is actually known as “Star Trek: Enterprise” now, though for the first two seasons it was not.

 

The new Galactica is kick ass? Considering how underwhelming the series pilot was, you’ll forgive me if I am skeptical of that ‘til I actually see it….

 

I think the mini suffered from some pacing problems—it really didn’t need to be four hours long. The series (I’m told) is better in this regard. Granted, if you had other problems with the mini (“shaky-cam” and the whole “reimagining” thing chief among them), I suspect you may not be quite as impressed as my illegally-filesharing correspondent is.
