Not sure I agree with this. How many of these "reviews" are made by reviewers who are not sci-fi fans, but rather people who may have flicked their way past BSG in the 1970's to watch Dukes Of Hazzard. A lot of them are probably remembering partial scenes of a show that they never really watched.

Where science fiction is concerned, mainstream reviewers can't really be trusted because most of them don't know anything about this genre of television.

I prefer to trust the opinions of people like those here, at least we have a good idea of what we're talking about.
