[…] as my meek cry for change, I’ll do it. I’m sitting here, waiting with itchy fingers to watch more entertainment than I have time for, but nobody’s serving up any legitimate options. And until that day comes, I’ll stick […]

That is a thought — I did watch the original movie recently (Jane Seymour!) which I got a kick out of. Kind of a Love Boat in Space. It’s sort of funny watching that after knowing the more modern series.

There was also Planet of the Apes and Logan’s Run TV shows that I haven’t seen.

I think I definitely should check out the more obscure stuff than the more popular (Star Trek) since there’s so much better written about those series I woudn’t feel I’d be adding much.

You know, you could attempt the original Battlestar Galactica series. It’s at least of manageable length and out on DVD.

Another fun tack might be to go beyond the usual Star Wars vs. Star Trek debate and maybe look at some of the other franchises. Galactica vs. Firefly or maybe do a series on the “lesser” or “forgotten” sci-fi of the 80’s like the *ahem* “phenomenal” V the Final Battle.

Scifi knockoffs would also be fun. Battle Beyond the Stars is always ripe for the picking.

Oh and a series on mockupmentaries might be interesting. The obvious Christopher Guest films would have to be in there, but there have been a bunch of other knockoffs of varying quality.

Finally, a series on movies that accurately depict office life would be great (beyond the ultimate: Office Space). Haiku Tunnel is a great one. I also really liked that In Good Company movie with Dennis Quaid. There really aren’t enough movies that do a good job of depicting cubicle hell…but there must be other gems out there readers would be into.
