It isn't. But when the person you are in love with turns out to be the enemy it gets a twist. And when you get to the whole 'can free will overcome programming' it gets interesting. I hope Gallactica will not shy away from that angle now that both Boomers are out of the picture. (And Boomer is totally hot.) > Not to mention the host of tv show ideas that take off > mostly as a way to use some interesting special effects and of course > go nowhere because that works so much better in movies than TV... That is pretty much what happened with the later seasons of Sliders. In the beginning they had interesting 'what if' scenario's and they expanded a small aspect of our current society to something that dominated another society. The best one IMHO being the three minute lead-in where they were on some planet and had to sign indemnification papers and more legal bullshit just to buy a burger. But after a while they ran out of ideas and the show dried up.
