Sorry, I did not mean that Enterprise was like B5 but that it was closer in style than other Star Trek programs. I could take or leave other Star Treks, if I saw an epsisode then fine, if not I would not care. However, Enterprise had something about it that meant I would purposely watch the next episode. |
Ah, fair enough. Although, for me, sometimes that "something" that Enterprise had was "what the hell sort of nonsense are they going to dump on us *this* week?!"

However, I have been buying the B5 box-set DVDs and rewatching all the episodes (it makes so much more sense the second time around) and I would never consider doing that for Enterpirse.

I have almost the whole of B5 on video, only missing TKO (no great loss that!) and "Legacies" (because of the stupid way C4 broadcast it) and tend to I watch the whole thing through at least once a year.

For me SG1 was too much a "one schtick" show. The team go to some new world, find some humans who have been cut off/ repressed by the Goa'uld or meet up with some new sort of threat, shoot up some Jaffa or similar, argue about ethics then go home for tea and buns.
It may have got better after the first series, but I just couldn't stay with it.
BSG is interesting (apart from that bloody irritating wobbly camera work, haven't these people heard of tripods and will the camera man keep his sodding fingers off the zoom settings!) the question, however, is whether it can hold itself together after its "big revelations".
