As I was perusing
the internet today looking to see when a favorite show of mine, Doctor Who,
would be back for a seventh series, I was struck by an odd thought. With the
end of Fringe in sight and a second season Falling Skies next month, I realized
that was the full extent of the US science fiction I would be watching for the
rest of the year. I was sadden to find that out, science fiction on US television
has had some great runs; Quantum Leap, Stargate, Star Trek, and a number of
smaller less well known shows.
