I wasn't reasoning at all. I'm poking fun at the Hollywood convention that ancient Greeks and Romans generally are portrayed as Victorian English people. Or the convention that any non-American character is often played with a British accent or by a British actor. Not just with ancient Greeks either. Jean-Luc Picard was supposed to be French, but he was played by a Shakespearean British actor. (I'm not criticizing Patrick Stewart. I generally liked his portrayal and that show, even if the British accent standing in for a French accent is silly.)

thats a great idea, even have it on late night or something. we took all those old shows for granted. I remember when the sci fi channel first came out, of course our local cable didn't have it and I was seeing all the great old shows they were showing and couldn't wait to get it. so finally I got direct tv when it first came out and you actually had to pay $300 for the dish, plus the monthly fee. so now I got sci fi channel and literally one month after I got it, they took off all the old shows like space;1999 and UFO they had been showing for years.

even shows like lex, farscape etc werent' all that fantastic but at least it was something half way original and kinda fun. used to watch MST3K all the time. these shows we just took for granted. now, there is nothing even nearly as good or fun. I got totally addicted to bablyon 5 too. BSG was great, not all of them but most of them were great tv. now there is just nothing as far as sci fi on tv anymore.

what I don't get, is with CGI you can now make some great effects that don't require a lot of sets and money, yet still nothing.

Oh there is that new show that they are always talking about on the internet constantly, forgot what it's called. I tried watching it, and to me it seemed like "the office" only in space. with a lot of bickering and shaky camera work. it just didn't capture me. guess I'm too old in that I prefer something besides inter office rivalries and bickering with shaky cameras bouncing all over the place and everybody has to be under 30. shoot, the first doctor in the pilot of star trek was a kindly old gent with silver hair. but I digress
