A big thanks goes to Visualops for the Banner!!
SciFi shows are starting to become as rare as hen’s teeth.
sorry...I meant to ping, you about Firefly’s Serenity Thursday (9:00p)/ Friday (6:30p).
Apparently benign alien emissaries show mankind how to end the misery of war, plague and famine. The Kanamits, nine-foot tall aliens, arrive on Earth with one lofty goal: To Serve Man. They end war, they end famine. They make the military wonder: what's the catch?
CAST: Richard Kiel, Hardie Albright, Robert Tafur, Lloyd Bochner, Lomax Study, Theodore Marcuse, Susan Cummings, Nelson Olmstead.

Nothing showing now, but I hear Eureka is coming back in July.
Well I went,against my best wishes,to see the new Star Trek Movie.It blew donkey dong!They didn`t even try to follow ANY of Roddenberry’s time-line!The later recycled menagerie episodes (I forget the titles) indicated that the Enterprise had already sailed to Talos before any of the characters had even gone to Star fleet academy.Kirk,in lamenting Pike`s accident,mentions that Captain Pike`s voyages were required reading during his academy days!They expect a cheap gimmick like a change in time lines to alter things that much?And the idea that a super nova could endanger the galaxy is absurd.Even a gamma ray burst wouldn`t do that.The plot was forced and haphazard at best,the only thing I liked was the FX.I don`t care how much money it`s earned at the box office,it sucked big time.
Eureka Returns on New Night - Friday, July 10

Say goodbye to the Tuesday, 9/8c timeslot on SCI FI Channel. In fact, say goodbye to the SCI FI Channel...at least as it is, anyway. Charlie Craig has announced via his twitter account (charliecraig) that Eureka’s third season returns to television on a brand new night - Fridays at 9/8c on the newly branded SyFy Channel. Currently occupying the slot is short-lived CBS series ‘Moonlight’.
WooHoo!
Pretty slim pickings.
Primeval seems to be wandering in the wilderness. They seemed to have an arc in mind the gave up and are just making up episodes until something pops into their minds.
I don’t know how far behind SciFi is but the BBC broadcasts are now about unwatchable.
There is an OK (but not more than OK, imho) fantasy - Legend of the Seeker.
It’s produced by ABC but goes directly to syndication (CW network in my area - Sunday at 10:00 pm). To check your local channel plug in your zip code in the top right corner on their website: http://www.legendoftheseeker.com/
The season is almost over, but you can catchup online.

Season 3 of Primeval has started on BBC-America, Saturday nights 9 Eastern (what I’ve come to think of as the “good” spot, as they usually have something good then).
Sure ain’t much else doing right now. Eureka starts up again in July, until then I guess we need to socialize or something.
Did you ever read Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? There is something I vaguely remember about one character having a stash of old sci-fi magazines and comic books because they drop off in popularity once the future finally arrives.
Maybe sci-fi is dead because we are in the future?
