Reality sucks.
Give me believability instead. Solid characters, good science (even if it's a stretch, make it plausible if it's not possible).
Firefly did it.
Star Trek did it (most of the time, in the earlier series).
Babylon 5 did it.
As KA said, it takes decent writing by someone who knows what they're doing to make the audience want to suspend disbelief. Whedon does it, JMS does it, Roddenberry knew how to do it.
