No, for many reasons. This reminds me of my friend Lionel - who, ironically, was the first person to ever show me a Doctor Who episode, back in the 1980s. I don't know what he thinks of the current series, but he's very much a techie, and he has a horror of any show that contains what he calls 'drama' - by which he generally means 'any kind of personal interaction'. He loves space battles.
all about not going beyond comfort zones
Hmm. Interesting point.
It seems absured to me to say that Battlestar Galactica doesn't 'ram' relationships down viewer's throats but Doctor Who does. In fact, Battlestar Galactica is much more about relationships and characterization as both motivation and plot-drivers. Obviously this commentator doesn't even see that! Is it because the show has more hardware to focus on? Planes and guns and militarism?
