BATTLESTAR GALACTICA (Fridays on Sci-Fi, premieres 1/14) Opinions on last year's mini are still sharply divided, but it's at least promising to see another serious SF series on Sci-Fi, which often manages to ignore the implications of its name and instead just fork out a steady supply of Z-grade on-the-cheap horror and miscarriages like MAD MAD HOUSE. FARSCAPE has gone into the great beyond, ENTERPRISE is improving but still nowhere near TREK's glory days, and both BABYLON 5 and FIREFLY have left the small screen for the big one, so right now BSG is our last, best hope (if you'll pardon the expression) for a smart, well-crafted "space" SF show. Showrunner Ron Moore has gone on record with some very lofty goals for the show, and early word from England, where the show has been running for several months now, is positive, so fingers crossed.
