Star Cops

Twelve reasons for loving Star Cops:
  1. The premise is so simple. Cops! In space!* They should do it with Criminal Intent, that would rock.

  2. They play bridge in one episode.

  3. The dialogue is bitchy-brilliant.

  4. I never remember anything about the episodes, which means it's like watching it new every time.

  5. Spring is so grumpy.

  6. Kenzy is so snarky.

  7. Spring and Kenzy make the cutest couple.

  8. Batshit.

  9. It's more exciting than Moonbase 3 (hm, actually, I'll have to rewatch that now...)

  10. John "Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World" Collee wrote two episodes.

  11. Graeme "Spiritual Heir to Douglas Camfield" Harper directed a couple of episodes.

  12. On Chris Boucher's commentary on the first episode, he starts grumbling before the opening music has a chance to finish. And doesn't stop.

* And, as [livejournal.com profile] communicator once pointed out, anything is improved by putting it in space. Hustle - In Space! The Good Life - In Space! Upstairs Downstairs - In Space! Persuasion - In Space! See?**
** But not The Dirty Dozen or Robin Hood - In Space! That would obviously be rubbish.

Bonus lucky 13: There's a 'stuck in a lift' episode, and I don't care about cliché, 'stuck in a lift' episodes are always great, even the DS9 one with Odo and Lwaxana.
