I think you need to add FlashForward to your list. So far, it’s been pretty good.
I also think you should add The Big Bang Theory because it contains plenty of science fiction fandom tie-ins.
Stargate Universe is pretty good. I like it so far. Nobody died this week anyway. It was officially the 4th episode.
Did anyone see the very end of the third episode? Did I see a tiny ship come off of the big ship? Does someone know about them besides Earth?
Not pleased by the scientist and the kid in Stargate U. Looking forward to the remakes of ‘V’ and ‘The Prisoner’ (what a cast).
I did and I wonder myself.. Probably the new bad guys in the Stargate Universe...
It will be interesting to see what happens with their unpowered vessel that seems to be heading into a star? Will the aliens capture them? Which would save them from the star but make things tougher in a way?
Will they finally use the stones to bring Col Carter aboard to fix their power system?
Inuiring minds want to know.
I also want to see V and The Prisoner.
When is “V” going be on. My buddy saw an ad for it on TV.
November I think. On the ABC network I believe. Kevin might know. I keep forgetting.
May we have more Julia, please?!
I think we saw her in her undies in the last episode
So Warehouse 13 got cancelled?
V starts on the 3rd on ABC. And Prisoner is the 15th on AMC. I’ve had to start taking notes.
Season ended. Word is it got renewed.
Cool......about time. As long as they dont junk it up with a Liberal theme.
Yeah, that's had me wondering what it was all about. At first I thought it was the ship the senator was in and then thought it was going to look for the closest habitable planet.
The new bad guys? Perhap... hadn't thought of that.
I watch Flashforward on hulu and it’s always the first show I watch in my queue. I like it more than Heroes which to me is getting too busy, too lame or maybe it’s just me.
yup... we saw special-spice (i like that one) in shorts & a t-shirt. that pic was a shot from the scene
hot and can probably handle a knife... well, the character at least :)
I'm guessing that the ship is going to recharge itself in the energy from the star. Probably give them another sixty days worth of power.
I think that is what going to happen.. The flight sequence though the gas giant was cool..
That would be the Hollywood way out wouldn’t it? A “green” spaceship.
Special Spice... good one.
In this last episode they mentioned they would have to do something with the Senator. So I guess he’s still there in the airless shuttle.
Yep, the little alien unmanned spy-bot went to tell the boss that the ship is now occupied. Wonder what will come from that?
Another question, if 2 people switch places using stones and one dies... does the person get to keep the new body? or so they both die?
Making sure people got away from the walls was a nice touch, it would be a good idea.
I agree... Don’t know how true, but smart..
thanks... you heard it here first :)
I have completely missed the story about these 'stones'. No wonder I am so confused.
The stones are an alien communication system that allows 2 people to switch bodies even across galaxies. Of course this would seem totally impossible to us. But it explains to someone who missed this how people can be visiting Earth from another galaxy. Its kind of confusing people their still being played by the same person even though their supposed to be in another body.
SG1 was fun! SGU, not so much. I know that they setting up the story but “problem of the week” episodes so far just plod along.
There is no spark between any of the cast members yet, they just seem like they are doing their acting thing and cashing their checks and not getting a kick out of being on one of the few remaining scifi shows left on TV.
It does seem like a very long story arc doesn’t it?
No life support one week, no power the next, I guess water might be next week.
At least part of the problem is that SGU is written with the school of thought that to make characters interesting, they have to be heavily and annoyingly flawed. I wish they’d stop with the childish geeks in space Mary Sue characters, too. While drop-out MIT boy is one of the more interesting characters so far, he’s something straight out of Internet fanfic.
I miss Carter and O’neill. No inner angst, no festering issues other than some pheromones. No prolonged naval gazing or indecission based on how they were potty trained.
She was a little hard not to notice on that episode.
