More friends.Beware... If you have thin skin or can't deal with someone who might disagree with you, you're probably not going to like me because I'll politely argue a given subject with spirt. Mind you, I can disagree with someone emphatically on a given subject and yet still get along smashingly with them. Politics is politics, but friends are friends, or should be.

Best I've seen in a long time that stuck the imagery with me is the Battlestar Galactica miniseries Sci-Fi did. Enterprise is pretty good, so is Stargate SG1 and Atlantis. Farscape was also good. Other than that, Home Time and This Old House.
