I'll take classic elements of drama, Alex

Hi,
and a big Say What? The reality is that people do shit like that when they are under massive stress.

Just FYI, B5 has a number of religous themes. If you haven't seen it on dvd, go rent the climactic battle. I liked Satgate the movie, but the tv show never did much for me. Telling me about Star trek is bringing coals to Newcastle. Mom dragged me to a summer stock play in the Sixties because Shatner was in it. His acting sucked there, too. Don't get me wrong, I loved the show. But what a ham....

I will Tivo 4400 and Threshold, but I don't hold out much hope.

Scifi is about creating some imgainary reality. Battlestar Galactica
does that with intensity. I watched the very first episode last night (the one after the pilot). When it was over, I felt like I had been put through the wringer. My wife said something to that effect.

Partly my enthusiasm is because it's the only new series I know of that's holds my interest. Partly it's because I am a fan of Olmos.
And partly because I lhave always loved epic tales of struggle against
relentless adversity. But mostly I don't care why, I just love it.
