This Weeks Sci-Fi Thread (08/31/08):
Fri:
10/9 - Stargate Atlantis - SciFi
TOPICS: Miscellaneous; TV/Movies
KEYWORDS: atlantis; scifi
Well after watching Star Trek Enterprise (there was a marathon) I can say it was not a bad show.. To me the show that killed Star Trek was Voyager.. It just soured my taste on Star Trek..
Well 30 years ago, a little show called Battlestar Galatica first appeared.. To me that was the sci-fi show that I have ever seen on tv (I never heard of Star Trek until the movie came out).. I still like it. Yes the new one is better, but I like them both. Here is why:
1. The basic story of good vs evil...
2. The Battlestar Babes.. I had crush on Maren Jensen when I was kid..
I'm sure this is more...

Star Trek Enterprise got a bad rap - I too thought it was a good show even though Scott Balek (?) was kind of wooden. I guess I was spoiled by Patric Stewart, who emoted all over the place. The rest of the actors on Enterprise were good, and I found the story lines interesting.
Now, on to the SciFi for this week: No Eureka?

I think the last season of Enterprise was the best Trek I have ever seen in a long time..
No new Eureka this week..

Did you see Lisa Joyner profile the second season of Sarah Conner in her “Infanity” show on the TV guide channel?

Scott Bakula who was great in Quantum Leap, not so much here....
To: skinkinthegrass; All
In a way yes, however, I would like see a Trek take place in far far far distant future (I mean from the TNG time)..

If they stuck to the whole founding of the Federation instead of the temporal cold war I think it would have lasted 7 years.. I think the best episode of Enterprise was with David Carridine (sp) in it. Basically in how the who NX program got started..

The Time War plot is what killed it.

Still the classic good vs. evil sci-fi series would be
Babylon 5 . Past time for this one to be back on tv.
