AN SF TV AFFLICTION

A note from a friend of mine -- in italics -- regarding the television series Firefly, then my response (I put this up as it could have been a posting by me anyway)...

"One of the things I liked right away was that the galaxy *wasn't* at risk every week."

Yes! I agree. A too common affliction in episodic SF television today, to be sure, but the new Doctor Who really suffers from this: A sun is about to "go", the Universe is about to "end", a timeline or temporal this or that is about to go somewhere else. It is so 'beeping' tiring... for this viewer; when I do try to watch. It is very fatiguing.
