Tell me Anakin and his chick rolling around on the grassy hills isn't boring !
Nemisis is probably as exciting as Star Trek could be, with it's tenuous attempt to stay true to reality, I would say it got as intellectual as any TV series can get, and good on it, who wants to watch Law and order or CSI, I'd rather watch some guy who can morph (DSN) than cops and Lawyers. Just me though.
