Huh. I've been watching S1 of Carnivale (up to ep 11 now) and I was surprised to see Ron Moore's name in the executive producer credit--I've been thinking the whole time that Dan whassoname was the EP. (Yes, I am dense.) I guess DS9, BSG and Carnivale all have long-term arcs and lots of thematic darkness, but otherwise, Carnivale feels to me stylistically dissimilar from the other two shows.
Man, this show has a lot of sex. Of fucked-up variety.
(offtopic) Gandalfe, how is Requeen? I've wanted to ask, but I don't seem to see you elsewhere. (/offtopic) So, how 'bout them Cylons?
I hope he and MR have scenes together.
Oh dear fuck. I think my ovaries just exploded.
Meh. I wasn't using them anyway.
I finally got to see Farscape: Peacekeeper Wars and what a thing of beauty. It kicked so many kinds of ass. Thank god I was spoiled or I would have been an even bigger mess at the end than I was.
On a completely shallow note: Damn, Braca was looking hot.
Well, Enterprise also mucked up the Klingons in that "T&T" established that, yes, the Klingons used to look like TOS Klingons (one of the great throaway jokes in that ep - "We do not speak of it!"), and then Enterprise has to go and use the current Klingon makeup. Feh.
I read they're actually going to do an episode explaining that this season.
They've gotten better. Sort of. At least Berman's out of the day-to-day stuff.
Definitely. They recently did a couple episodes laying the groundwork for the Vulcan society and behavior we're familiar with rather than the pseudo-Vulcans we've seen on the show so far.

Although that part still kind of drives me nuts. But I suppose they're at least trying to explain why these things they've been calling "Vulcans" haven't resembled Vulcans at all.
Someone mentioned upthread that this season was going to be attempting to repair canon....even to the point of explaining
Klingon physiology.
Ah, so instead of "High School Is Hell" the theme of the season will be "We're sorry, Trekkies—PLEASE come back!"
At least for Enterprise. hee.

Somehow, this pisses me off more. Probably because there's almost no way I can conceive of them doing this that isn't going to be half-(or quarter) assed.
