I didn't like Universe. I prefer SG-1.

SGU is still on probation in the NetRunner household. I'm still waiting for them to come up with a theme other than survival. For example, give us some antagonists, or at least some compelling potential benefit from discovering the ship.

I also liked the initial offering of V. I'm curious how many episodes it will take before the teabaggers start carrying reptilian Obama signs.

I've also been watching FlashForward. I loved the novel, and the series is definitely taking a very different direction than the novel (the Flashforward in the novel was a freak accident, not part of a shadowy plot).

I'm looking forward to the Prisoner remake that's coming in a couple weeks.

As much as I like all this new/remake Scifi, I do find myself craving a nice, predictable, upbeat Star Trek series. Everyone wants to be the new Battlestar Galactica, but no one seems to be going for that simple morality play format that Roddenberry pioneered.

I'm getting sick of antiheroes in my sci-fi.

Ronin, the movie is on Hulu now.
Also, the british Office is on Adult Swim.

I'm with NR on SGU. So many episodes there go over without anything actually happening that it's hard to actually like the show. Still got potential however.

I dig it. It's got the seriousness of Battlestar without the hopelessness, which drove me crazy. I'd love for it to take on a few more aspects of a SG show, like adventure and exploration, but I get that they want to set up the series with a real thorough look at their situation on the ship, rather than just jumping into a "planet of the week" format, which will probably happen once they get a little bit more control of the ship. If I recall correctly, Atlantis was similar.

I'm still not over how popular Battlestar was, considering that I hated it for the depressing shakey-cam crap that it was. But SGU is toned down from that, so it's better.
