I think the connection between sci-fi and acting quality is budget, honestly. More experienced actors cost more money. And most sci-fi shows, including old skool Who though I'm not sure about the budget of new Who, have low budgets.
There was good acting in DS9 - hello, Avery Brooks and Armin Shimmerman (love them!). And TNG had Riker and Picard, who, bless their hearts, had to work with some crap writing a lot of the time, but did their best.
So, yes, I'm prone to hyperbole. But Martha done good tonight. Really really good. Better than she has. So yay!
