GTW, u r so right, but u know, i was hoping that since America did elect Barack, that they (the SciFi world) would at least say, "o.k., let's at least make an attempt 2 recognize that there are Black SciFi fans." look at the big blockbuster's of late. ID4 with Will Smith. Hancock, with Will Smith. The Matrix Trilogy with Laurence Fishburn. while i know that in the last example........................was a supporting character, still, there are Black people who like SciFi. DTESS sucked, except 4 little Mr. Smith. Even The Spirit has Sam Jackson (love the guy). i think that is one of the original reasons that i enjoyed the OS of Trek. Uhura. then u had a few ep's with Black actors who DID NOT DIE. plus, OS was really one of the first 2 actually say that Blacks were even alive in the future! but i guess that that is y u say, being a Black SciFi fan is not easy.

And it's the reason why I now have a love/hate relationship with the whole sci-fi/fantasy/ comic book gendre. Everytime I get into something that makes me feel good about sci-fi (namely the Coyote, Honor Harrition series) something comes along (like the Dr Who thing) to spoil it. But no one said being a black sci-fi fan was easy. :) -GTW In a message dated 1/4/09 1:50:02 PM, jazzynupe_007@ yahoo.com writes: GTW, if that is indeed the case, then i will have 2 find other shows then 2 watch. sorry, but being Black, i kind of look 4 shows that at least have someone who resembles me some kind of way.

And you won't see her again soon in any new episodes of Dr Who (past those now shown on BBC america) either.
