If you had said it about, say, post-Wolfean "Andromeda", it would make sense. But, much as you may not like BG for whatever reason, the idea that it was made to appeal to a "lowest common denominator" is obvious bullshit. [/qb][/QUOTE]Glowing spines during sex scenes, the goofy breast cancer subplot, an alien culture using [i]exact[/i] current military terms, the un-needed baby-killing scene....that's what I consider "low". I'm only speaking of the miniseries here as I [i]still[/i] cant record the BSG series (I work when it's on). If Enterprise started out with any of that nonsense, there would have been some [i]real[/i] fan-backlash. ;) Mabye I'll find the series fantastic (it's possible). NOt that I wanted to derail this thread into a debate over BSG. Y'know...the new DS9 books follow a nice format. The current stories involve characters on their respective homeworlds in seperate stories that sorta intertwine because the starring characters all (eventually) interact with each other on DS9. It's not too far off from the "anthology" idea. Mike, that idea really reeks. [/QB][/QUOTE]
