nuBSG seemed to have a good run with good production value.


...How the hell is B5 considered cancelled and, 2nd BSG not???? That makes zero sense. Ron Moore wanted 5 seasons, got 4. JMS wanted 5 seasons, got 5 seasons! Both their spin-offs got cancelled. . .
Anyways on the topic subject. I think it's just a time where networks are afriad of letting strange worlds and, new civilizations on the tv again. So sci-fi lite stuff gets okay'd. "Chuck" is sci-fi but, it's only got a few hints of it. "V" you mostly see the aliens in human disguises. Caprica looks like Earth for the most part. This conversly created a void without much extraordinary worlds on tv. So it made it easier for Avatar & other sci-fi movies to sweep in the money 'cause tv sci-fi was stuck in office type looks w/little to no aliens.
