I could have sworn I mentioned Battlastar in my (somewhat lengthy) post earlier... one sec rummages Ah yes, here we are...

Quote - ...Where SF seems to fare better is on the small screen, where deeper relationships between the characters and the audience can be striven for, allowing a much stronger storytelling. Recent examples include BSG, of course...

Another point that occured to me last night. Scott seems to bve saying that all SF since 2001 has been rehash, copy, and unoriginal, corect? But weren't his own stabs at the genre, Alien and Blade Runner, filmed after 2001? So theoretically, he's saying that even his own stuff is blatant rubbish.

Just one other point to consider - and this is me being far too much of a Private Eye reader. Which film company distributed Blade Runner, Alien and 2001? I know Alien was Fox... any ideas on the other two? goes off to check imdb Ok, they were both released by Warner - bang goes that conspiracy theory (Fox owns the Times, which was where the articel was published - thought they were using it as a fluff piece to promote their own films).
