Rather than buying a show or a channel, why not just subscribe to content? Say, I want Season 1 of Torchwood - I buy it from the Beeb and then download it to my TIVO-esque box and watch it when I want.
Um... kinda like I'm doing now with my Apple TV. Wow, shows on demand.
Nope, won't happen - too much $$$ tied up in "limited use, crap-filled shows". Once you give folks the power to watch the shows they want, you can't force "popular shows" on folks.
Adopting Macintosh really means adopting Unix-based model. Rather than distributing packaged software, put it on a central NFS or SAN server. It's a paradigm shift - quick, call Kuhn!
Okay, if we're talking gigadeaths, then ST:ANH isn't really up there. Off the top of my head, I can think of:
1. Dr. Who: Remembrance of the Dalek where Davros manages to wipe out Skarro and his entire spieces.
2. Anther Dr. Who, this one with Tom Baker, where he wipes out "the Swarm", an intelligent virus that certainly numbers in the multi-billions.
3. The ST:TNG alien, the Dowd, who wipes out an entire spieces...
That's off the top of my head...

Cartoon Network will run an edited (?) version of Tenchi in June during their Toonami show.
