The Times does an io9 : Battlestar Galactica v Doctor Who

Bizzarely The Times has copied io9's style and done a Battlestar Galactica versus Doctor Who article:

It's back! The best science-fiction TV series ever created is at last returning for its long awaited fourth series. And so, by a curious coincidence, is Doctor Who.

I think bringing Battlestar Galactica to the attention of the masses is a good thing (if a little late), I think comparing it to Doctor Who in any sensible way is completely pointless.

Doctor Who is designed as a family show, for kids and their dads to watch together. It is fun, it is sometimes silly, it now and then has wonderful SF espisodes. BSG is a gritty, adult drama, with great acting, which is at times tiresome and never really lived up to its potential (although please prove me wrong with season4).
