As for Terminator: it was a good episode..

Fringe: Boring.. Not my type of show...

Eureka: Lose the hippie sister (even though she is good looking)

Stargate Atlantis: Typical episode with Todd.. I really like Teyla.. She can sing, she is good looking, and she can kick butt.


Well on September 17th the original Battlestar Galactica first aired.. To me it is first sci-fi show.. I never heard of Star Trek until the movie. I also had the first tv crush Maren Jensen. To me it was the first Sci-Fi on tv that dealt with good and evil. It was also the first Sci-Fi that introduced us to "ascended" beings (before SG1 dealt with the ancients) with the Ship of Lights.. It also had the best endings (Showing the Apollo 11 moon landing), except for Babylon 5 Sleeping in Light (when the station blew up). Granted Star Trek started Sci-Fi on tv, but I think the old Battlestar Galactica started modern Sci-Fi.. On a side note George Lucas tried shut down BSG, claiming that the show copied Star Wars...

The most important thing to me is that SciFi will be showing Season 10 of Stargate SG1. Finally.

I've had the cliffhanger for season nine on the DVR for a while. It's been on twice, in fact.

Then, last week, they had a marathon of Season 10 episodes. But they DIDN'T start with the season opener!
I only watched the 199th and 200th episodes. The rest are still saved and waiting.

Terminator - Awesome. Loved it. This show is gonna work. I just hope it stays around for a while.

Fringe - Decent show, but it was REALLY boring. They took a half-hour Twighlight Zone and made it into a movie. Waaayyyy too long. The future episodes should be better, since they will be 40 minutes instead of 1:15.

Eureka - Not as good as last season, plus they killed off one of the best characters. The hippie chick is VERY irritating. I guess that is mostly my conservative bias showing, though.

Atlantis is officially cancelled. No idea how many more eps we are going to get. Too bad, too. It was getting good.

I kind of liked Fringe...Broyles reminds me of a friend from awhile back, and I’m really looking forward to seeing more of him. A very promising character.

Should mention "Lost" starts airing on the scifi channel at 7 ET for a block of four shows from the series beginning... Starting tomorrow (Monday) night.

I never watched it in syndication but hear it's a good show...

8/7 - Fringe -- Fox

The biggest problem I have with getting involved in a new series is that most of them get discontinued before a legitimate ending.

Kinda like reading a good novel then discovering that the last 75 pages are missing........

I actually liked Fringe... it could become really good or really awful, and I think it’s going to go one way or the other really fast, but so far it was fun to watch for the special effects and explosions, and it had a halfway decent plot, but super-lame dialogue and acting. Why they even advertised the fact that it was scripted by ‘the writers of Transformers’ was beyond me, cause as far as I could tell, the writing in Transformers could have been done by giving an 8-year-old some action figures and writing down the results. Beyond that, it really looks like my type of show.

I haven’t seen last weekend’s Stargate Atlantis yet cause I still haven’t got DVR, but the one before it, “Whispers” was really good. I’ve been missing that kind of TV since the X-Files and Buffy went off the air =( Although, I agree with you on Teyla. The one thing about the Stargate franchise that always appealed to me the most was that there were cool female characters that were more than just completely useless eye candy (although I NEED Teyla’s clothes. She’s the best-dressed female character currently on TV, IMO.)
