I did not say that every SF series in the past was great

Socrates II — 4/6/2009 1:31:05 PM (archived)

But when they did try, like on The Twilight Zone, there was a quality
level I just don't see much any more, with the exception of BSG
until that ending.

And I freely admit that while series made by the likes of Irwin Allen are
pretty much drain stoppers now, growing up watching them while
people were all excited about sending real humans to the real Moon
made me what I am today.

Uh oh.
