I was speaking specifically of British written SF as being generally superior to the American variety. I concur on Babylon 5 - I consider it one of the best TV series, period, and it's one of the very few shows I actively wanted to watch every week and was unhappy if I missed an episode.

I went to Stratford-on-Avon last week and saw David Tennant playing the lead role in the Royal Shakespeare Company's production of "Hamlet" (in which Patrick Stewart also appears). David was equally "bug-eyed" in that - a wonderful performance.

Stewart has gotten rave reviews for his performance in Hamlet over here, too. I'm not a particularly big Star Trek fan, but Stewart's performances in Next Gen went a long way toward making it watchable.
