Why so much drama?
Drama is cheaper then Space Battles.
Period.
The one enemy SciFi will never be able to truly over come.
TV BUDGETS!

Frak spacebattles, the drama was much better in season 3 of BSG. 'Unfinished Business' for example, no battles (well, except for the boxing match that served as a frame story), almost entirely drama, yet easily one of the best episodes in the series.Mia: Don't you hate that?
Vincent: Hate what?
Mia: Uncomfortable silences. Why do we feel it's necessary to yak about bullsh*t in order to be comfortable?
Vincent: I don't know. That's a good question.
Mia: That's when you know you've found somebody really special: you can just shut the f*** up for a minute and comfortably share silence.

I agree with you, but I don't think that "Unfinished Business" is one of the best episodes of the series. Though that may be because I hate the Kara/Lee parts since I'm a Kara/Sam shipper.Originally posted by TBA View Post

I think that's one of best answers to any question ever answered. When did drama replace scifi, when it was cheaper.Originally posted by The Flyattractor View Post
The problem with Scifi in general, is that if it doesn't have space battles then people can get away with calling it anything but scifi. If you can get a TV show that's knee deep in scifi, and bull**** your way to into talking people into thinking it's something else, then you are sorted.Originally posted by Flying Officer Bennett View Post

Well how many space battles did it need in order to qualify?
IMO always implied.

52. Duh. Every true scifi fan knows that. Also, BSG needed a whole episode devoted to explaining the intricate workings of the FTL drives. And conveniently always humanoid aliens. And a robot/furry animal for comedy relief. Then it would have been real scifi.Originally posted by LoneStar1836 View PostWell how many space battles did it need in order to qualify?
In all seriousness, why something can't be both science fiction and dramatic is beyond me."Did you really expect some utopian fantasy to rise from the ashes?" - Tom ZarekComment

Amateur. 42 is the ultimate answer to life, the universe, everything, and the number of space battles a sci fi show must have. Everyone should know this!Originally posted by Legionnaire View Post
