A couple of notes:
1. I'm going to be out of town from 10/5 - 10/9 so I will not be making a post (unless someone wants to back me up) next week.

2. I'm going to start a Stargate Universe live thread, however, there is a chance that I will not be there.. Going to watch my old high school football (20 year reunion this coming weekend).

A big thanks goes to Visualops for the Banner!!

I have always liked Science Fiction and watch most of the newer series at least until I discover they are not very good, or are extremely PC.

Most of them do not even come up to the standards of 1950’s B movies. I also seem to see a lot of the same actors over and over. Many of them also appear to be made in the Vancouver area of Canada.

BUMP!!

Space Colonies in other solar systems might be very very low-tech affairs:

The pilot was excellent.

[Tanniker Smith]

I unexpectedly watched it as nothing was on on Friday night that I would’ve been watching. A lot of setup going on, everything keyed to one date that would be the season finale ... unless they decide that the next six months will be spread out over 100 episodes or so.

unless they decide that the next six months will be spread out over 100 episodes or so.

Unless it happens again.

In the novel, the flash forward was 21 years.

[Question_Assumptions]

I think Flash Foward belongs on your list. What I’ve seen so far is good.

[Question_Assumptions]

Make that “Flash Forward”.

The Dollhouse really jumped the Shark. I couldn't even get through it.

I'll give Heroes until next week.

Enjoy your football game. Think about a windbreaker.

[Hyzenthlay]

A couple things you missed: There’s no new Warehouse 13 on Tuesday, cause the season 1 finale was last week. Also, Dollhouse is on Fox Friday nights at 9.

Oh, and I’m totally willing to fill in for next week’s thread if you still need someone.

I’m also looking forward to Stargate Universe, and SO happy that my DVR can record two things at once with the way there’s four people in the house and the networks have put our favorite shows up against each other...

I’m looking forward to SG-Universe but am hoping it’s not a soap opera like BSG. Hated that.
