Athena and Cassiopeia were hotter than Wilma

Err, what?

You kinda gotta add the "and Twiki" part in there.

Yeah, that's the only way the sentence makes sense.  Erin Gray was much hotter than Maren Jensen or Laurette Spang, but when you throw Twiki in there, the hottness average gets halved, and the BSG girls get in by the skin of their teeth.

I'd still choose Erin Gray and put Twiki in the corner.

But for this debate, a better comparison would be Wilma and Princess Ardala, not freakin' Twiki.

For me it was a difficult choice between Farscape and Babylon 5.   I only saw the first two seasons of Bablyon 5 and I cant get it streamed here in Canada to finish it.  I liked the early seasons of Bablyon 5 better than the early seasons of Farscape but I really liked how Farscape developed so Farscape by default I guess.

Ooh yeah I forgot about her.  Princess Ardala and Wilma are better than Athena and Cassiopeia, but Athena and Cassiopeia are better than Wilma and Twiki.  Athena is the hottest of the four.

X Files had monumental episodes.

Not even close to the other choices for me.

barely tolerable poo

Does not compute.

To say something is poo is pretty standard kid-speak. Barely tolerable is also a pretty standard insult for something which isn't very good.

I really enjoyed the X-files.  At least in the early seasons.  I lost interest after a while.

I know what the words mean. They contradict each other. Something that is poo or shit is intolerable.

STill one of my favourite all time TV shows. Maybe it lost its way by Season 8, but even then it was still pretty good.

Insults do tend to invovle a fair bit of redundancy

Fringe is nice to watch.

STill one of my favourite all time TV shows. Maybe it lost its way by Season 8, but even then it was still pretty good.

It was a great show when it stayed away from what it was supposed to be about.  The episodes involving the conspiracy of silence tended to be silly, but those involving eldritch happenings tended to be outstanding.

I liked the main characters, especially because neither was played by anything like a "star."  Duchovny and Anderson were solid, workmanlike actors who were not trying to make themselves bigger than the show.

The show had lots of filler episodes, though, and more as time went on.  I stopped being interested long before the show stopped, though I did see selected recommended eps from the later years and enjoyed those.

Yeah, the X-Files was really incredible at times, even if it fall to pieces at the end.  I also really enjoyed DS9 and B5.

The problem with your statement was not one of redundancy.

Indeed.
