If you are expecting a scifi show that's flying around in space all the time, then you will be disappointed. For me -- scifi is more than just spaceships and photon torpedos...

Actually, the best SCI-FI is where the setting is SCI-FI, but the story could be anywhere. Firefly is a great example. Or Babylon 5. Keep the techno-"deus ex machina" to a mininum.

In Babylon 5, what was the big bad weapon used agains the Narn homeworld? Rocks. Big freaken rocks.

And one of the funniest lines in Firefly was where the Pilot discusses the possibility of someone having "Psychic" powers, as "It's like something out of Science Fiction!"
