I cant think of anything left now thats similarly just daft sci-fi/fantasy entertainment.

Neither can I. It makes me wonder what the future holds.
I'm pretty much like General Maximus, I love "True SciFi", to me that is in space and will be the future in the main.
Admittedly there is also SciFi based on this planet but it always involes something from the future, an example would be Continuum where a gang were sent back in time.
Most SciFi is a projection of what could happen or what is being developed with technology we have now.
SciFan (fantasy) can be viewed either as escapism or entertainment. Librarians, The Magicians and even anything by Terry Pratchett (IMHO) covers both escapism and (swear filter) good entertainment!
I think it was 5 years ago now I was talking to Chris Judge (Stargate) and he was pitching to a Canadian channel (Space or Science?) a SciFi series of a 1 hour episode and than afterwards a 30min discussion of the present or (being developed) future science which the episode was based on.
My total recollection is a bit faded as Chris and I drank the hotel in Newcastle dry of Scotch in one night!
