The primary comment I have about Enterprise so far is that it is desperately in need of more comic relief.

Also, Malcolm sounds very much like Bashir.

Early 2000's sci-fi was not exactly a buffet of comedy. Hell, the most popular show at the time was that depressing Galactica reboot.

The evil mirror universe will provide.
Eventually.

It was a glorious reboot though.

But a dreary one. Also, I could never take it seriously. The show was all business, but they had everyone saying "Frack". It just annoyed me.

I can see that. I feel like Frak was something that you either loved, or it broke your immersion.

My problem with BSG is that every single one of the characters was a despicable idiot human being, and I wanted the cylons to wipe out the entire species pretty much from episode 1 onwards. Guess I must have been set up for this disappointment by years of watching selfless geniuses forge a path of enlightenment into the stars.

Give me original BSG any day.

That's a pretty good joke you told just there.

We're not having the Stargate argument again...

Siege of AR-558 still gets to me.

Marina Sirtis is very quickly becoming one of my favorite Star Trek actors, I've been bouncing around watching random Star Trek Youtube clips a lot lately and she is absolutely hilarious at conventions.

Shame she got stuck playing the most dead weight person on the Enterprise.

Can we have a word in my office please?

Yeah, not helping the case. Nine wasn't exactly the most sunshine and rainbows Doctor.

I actually just watched a vid describing how she managed to get her role and become the character she was. Pretty ironic stuff.

Nine was a pretty good doctor, the only bad thing was he didn't stick around longer.

You've not seen SG-1 then I take it? Unless you count that as 90's.

I haven't a clue what you're referring to. The fact remains its widely considered to be filled with humor, so it's either an oversight on your part or you don't consider it to be "early 2000's".

But Series 1 is full of comedy, far more than a lot of classic Who.

*Sigh*

I didn't mention it, cause Stargate was an average and forgettable show.
