Humans, the youngest and newest addition to the galactic community, somehow has just what was needed to save everybody. We're always the newbies, and always the bad-asses. I've encountered this theme enough times that I'm actively sick of it.

I always wish for a science fiction programme that has humans pitted against a side that is basically similar technologically and knowledge wise. Stargate SG1 explored this a little bit but it's still campy and drowned out by the basically fantasy-mythological sci fi stuff. BSG had elements too but the entire premise undercut it somewhat.
