No, but I am in the middle of buying the Trek series on DVD in them ridiculously garish boxes. I always wait 'til stuff goes cheap you see...

And is Buffy Sci-Fi? Cos I've just finished re-watching the first series and reminded meself of what a clever fellow that Joss WHedon is.

It can't be SF when it's got magic in it.

But Joss Whedon is awfully clever.

Heroes the comic book? It can't be SF because it's got magic in it.

Yes, Primeval has been quite enjoyable.

I never really watched much Farscape. I've seen the odd epidsode that seemed pretty good but it's probably something you needed to watch consistently to get all the back story, and for some reason I never did.

'Fraid I couldn't quite get past the Aussie (or should that be "Southern Pacific"?) accents in Farscape. Though I've since been assured by more than one bod that it is, in fact, most excellent.
So, to rip off Joss Whedon, "My bad".

As for Primeval I weren't too fussed at first. (Not enough small children being eaten by dinosaurs and there were that idiotic student knacker nerd with the bad shirts and silly hat).

Nevertheless I continued to watch it on and off and gradually the bad wifey began to grow on me. Nice cliffhanger ending too in that last one, if perhaps a tad too selective.
But then again I divvent have a clue what's going on. (As usual).

But Babylon 5 is still me fave. Probably cos the best character in it is named after a biscuit...

I never watched Farscape but I've been assured its good. I've not got round to catching up with that one either. Maybe if I gave up hanging round message boards and got a life I'd make more headway through my TV backlog.

I thought Primeval was great and a real cliffhanger season end... just who did what to whom? It was interesting the way they avoided time paradoxes until the paradox fest at the end. Try explaining a time paradox to an 8 and 9 year old. Especially when one response it "that's not possible.".

I was very disappointed with Torchwood's finale. The demon that eats the world always speaks to me of a shortage of ideas. It take some imagination to pull it off and to me a giant demonic figure striding across the skyline isn't imaginative.

I've caught three of the Dresden Files recently and found them to be thoroughly enjoyable Science Fiction (in the Clarkeian sense obviously).
