    You have, have you not, heard of political SCIENCE? They even teach it and award degrees in it --

    You know, the funny thing is that I was just speaking with a college professor with that very background. If the subject didn't bore me entirely, I would have been more talkative. I think that I will go for a COMPUTER science degree, personally. [booze]What? I can do it. STOP LAUGHING AT ME!!!!

    I was, originally, a Poli Sci major so I guess ghrit is on the right tract. I wanted to go to law school, not into politics. Divorce interrupted my plan and the accounting degree brought money into the house faster! Life happens and you have to be ready to turn on a dime to adapt and overcome.

    Amen says the severely under-employed grad student who has a teaching certificate. Back to the topic at hand,

    I miss the old school stuff like Buck Rogers, Original Galactica, Airwolf and such.

    Yes, I would like the new Galactica if the camera wasn't so damn shaky and stop cutting back and forth continuously. I hate that kind of cinematography.

    If it's anything like the "Bourne" movies, then I'll pass on it. I can't stand that type of cinematography either. If I wanted to watch shaky, fast moving video, I'd just watch some home movies!

    It's worse. Much worse. I think that a 12 year old with tourets and allergies could hold the camera more steady. Galactica is just horrible with camera work.

    I don't mind the camera work so much. I can work well as it did in Saving Private Ryan.

    The original Star trek... IMHO was the "father" of good sci-fi. after that would have to be lost in space.

    [alllies] Original Star Trek blows. Lost in Space was even worse.

    I would agree that it was something of a trendsetter -but calling it "good" is definitely arguable. To be perfectly honest, I don't think that "good" sci-fi even came out until the 90's. The technology just wasn't there before.

    One of my favorite 'low budget' sci-fi shows was PBS's "Red Dwarf" series from BBC. Kinda like Dr. Who meets Hitchiker's Guide! [winkthumb]

    When your life is science fiction your television shows do not measure up.
