# i thought it was a hoot
but then again i would as i only see it as bubblegum silliness tv, just like it always has been since i was a wee, scared and hiding behind the sofa nipper.

# ^this. Entirely
It's Saturday night popcorn tv, and for that alone, I like it. It is infinitely preferable to 'Strictly Come Conga', 'How do you solve a problem like dwindling ratings' or other Norton fronted dross that relies on 'viewer participation' in the form of premium phone lines, and features 'celebrities' and andy warhol '15-minuters' who could all sing cabaret at the wailing wall and nobody would notice.

I've paid my license fee, now put on something entertaining that doesn't require any effort or more cash from me at a time which is considered 'peak' viewing.

# folk do tend to take it too seriously i feel
i think the new stuff has been a giggle, i even like the sexual innuendos and all the mucking around, i watch it on a week by week basis generally having forgotten what happened in the previous episodes anyway.
i'm in the minority on here because i find the whole science fiction thing funny, the emphasis for me is firmly on the fiction, it's pretend, and it's supposed to be silly.

# Youtube isn't working for me at present, but...
when you get a chance, search for 'shatner' + 'i am canadian' - he sums up the whole silliness of science fiction quite nicely.

hang on... www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1CwZgb_iAI
