Yep, you're definitely right on both occasions, "Forever Knight" and BSG. And don't even let me start about the so-called "Earthsea miniseries", in which practically all dark-skinned Southern characters turned out blond and lily white, the evil, middle-aged priestess of Karego-At became a blonde nymphomane and the king's bed warmer, and so on...
Rumour says, however, that Atlantis' latest victim, Paul McGillion didn't leave on his own device. It's whispered to have been a very ugly way how TPTB abserved him. A shame - Dr. Beckett was an excellent character: not obscenely young, flawed and with the funniest quirks I've seen for a long time. also, his accent is considered to be the sexiest on the show, although Zelenka come second. *g*
I never watched Ron Moore's BSG abomination (really, a female Starbuck? and Boomer not only a girl but a Cylon, too?). The spoilers were enough to make me throw up, so I didn't subject myself to the horrors of the real item.
Yes, I'm strange that way. I prefer my heroes the old-fashioned way. And I don't think that making everyone morally corrupted and sexually perverted does good TV entertainment make. My own fault, obviously. [/sarcasm]
