    Thanks for going with Voicemail shows being spoiler shows. It kinda looked like that’s the way you were going anyway, and it’s another something to distinguish the vm show from the regular show.

    I’m definitely a spoiler whore, except when it comes to Serenity. I’m hypocritical that way.

    V’ger – I’m feeling the same way, the virus is probably a big fat accident but it’ll end up being some useful weapon for at least as season while the writers give the crew of BSG new (temporary) things to worry about, sort of a breather for the viewers.

    Heroes is a show that I’m not really sure why I keep on coming back to watch. I know you folks seem really excited about it but there are so many “quirks” going on that I’ve got a feeling there will be a lot more people getting annoyed with it, either that or it’ll become a comic/sci-fi version of 90210 where all the fun comes from the bad camp.

    Right now, besides all the plot driven character flaws, I think my biggest issue is how SLOW the story is moving, we’ve got a good idea who the jekyl & hyde type character is, the criminal with the golden heart, the gov’t agent that might seem bad but might actually be trying to assemble a secret team to fight evil and the Mimic character, but instead this is all drawn out as if the average viewer is going to be surprised by any of this.

    UGH!

    Slow story? Keith, step away from the Red Bull!

    I’m not sure how they could move this along any faster without losing people. Save, the last episode, which was the first time that I felt like the story dragged in order to set up for the next week.

    Now I admit that this is not a perfect show. There are many plot holes, and the physics… Well, best we not even go there, but I am excited that a comic book style scifi show is on a major network, and is receiving a large audience share. Whatever your problem is with the details, remember, a success here will only serve to bring us more and better scifi content in the future.

    Keep watching, Please! It is good for scifi.

    There are small fighters i Star Trek.

    I mean in the first seasons of DS9 all they had was small fighter like ships.

    I name 2 episode where they are promenently seen. “The Maquie” all the maqie had was fighters and “favor the bold”/”sacrifice of angels” Sisko used them to make a hole in the Cardassian line.

    And there is the playstation game “Star Trek: invation” where you play the pilot of a fighter i a starfllet fighter squad.
