are second to none. But we must have the most profoundly moronic show biz executives on the planet. They have the brown thumb. Everything they touch turns to shit.

It will be sad if this show doesn't fulfill its promise, not just because we deserve good, and authentic, science fiction; but because the traditional arts of drama; acting, script, plot, and production are all here in spades and I fear some mindless dweeb behind a desk is going to find a way to sabotage it.

The television world is still a vast wasteland, and it appears that with only a few exceptions (like HBO), not much has really changed.
