Good stuff for SF fans

[Lucifer Box]

Trust me about Battlestar like - its absolutely brilliant. You should all ask Santa for the box sets for Xmas and get snuggled up and watch the lot.

I'm with SallyAnne on this one. The new series of BG set the bar for TV sci-fi. Filmic sci-fi come to that. It knocks B5 off the throne in my view.

I nearly fell off my seat (well, in fact I'm ashamed to admit I did fall off my seat) at the climax of season 1 and season 2 has left me gagging for more. Last I heard Sky One had tentative plans to show season 3 in January.

Mind you, I too have a penchant for Gabrielle Drake in a purple wig.

Someone offered them to me the other day and I said no. I'd rather watch it on the telly.

No it does not - new BG is good, but it lacks scale of the fight between Shadows and Vorlons, the scope of BG is way too limited - bloody fight for survival of an inferior species.

Seen them. It's stonking.

I could never undestand the fuss about B5 myself. I thought it was a badly written, badly acted version of Star Trek.

[hattra]

Nah, your thinking of Star Trek: Voyager there

With the honourable exception of Seven of Nine

Must agree with the Battlestar fans here - it's excellent. Never really got into B5, though the bits I've seen seemed pretty good.

UFO.

Ladies with Purple Hair.

You know it makes sense.

.... and string vests

Surely there's a fellow Blake's Seven fan out there?
