I watched both the premiere and the 2nd episode and I like it; although, I must say that they are setting themselves up to have to deliver something major at the end of this season. April 29, 2010. Hope they know how to deliver.

Funny thing about the SGU pilot. The fact that the senator’s noble self-sacrifice was supposed to be heartstring-pulling, considering the current congress’s poll numbers, indicates how long ago the pilot was made.

My gut says they will.

Just hope they should will some real Detroit, not CG.

True. But something told me when he arrived that he wasn’t long for the movie. He just didn’t have the lines or the charisma.

Thanks for the ping. I’m interested in any comments on SGU - I found it confusing, and the fact it was apparently filmed in the DARK with no LIGHTS didn’t help.

Pretty out of character for the Clown Congress to make any sacrifice, let alone the ultimate. I'm always happy to see a politician take a hike, so I liked it.

I don't know if everyone would consider it "science fiction", but Smallville is on Fridays at 8pm EDT on the CW network.

since the premonitions/visions were six months in advance how they will sustain after that time has elapsed.

Another blackout would be my guess.

You figure that they’ll find a way to keep Agent Noh from being murdered on March 15. Then another flash forward.

New The Big Bang Theory on Monday (I think it belongs on the list). Enjoying FlashForward (also belongs on the list). Have mixed feelings about SGU (I really wish they’d drop the annoying Mary Sue characters — do they hire former fanfic writers to write these things?). The new season of Venture Brothers premiers October 18th/19th at Midnight. We’re about a month away from the new V and the new season of Legend of the Seeker.

Mrs. Springman loves the Big Bang Theory, have to DVR it for her, she watches DWTS.

Into Fast Foward big time, great show.

Yea I’m not sure about the sustainability either, but I do know the book it’s loosely based on went on a little past the 6 month mark.

With that though still seeing only a one season stand.

The FF novel Flashed forward 21 years. However the series is “inspired” by the novel not based on it. I understand there will be substantial differences.

Alien from space raised by humans? That sounds like science fiction to me.

I love FlashForward. It is new and could still jump the shark, but at this point it is my favorite show of the new season.

“Was a bit surprised to see Gen Jack O’Neil put on a few pounds.”

It’s ‘O’Neill’ with two ‘L’s’ There’s another Colonel O’Neil with only one ‘L’—he has no sense of humor at all. - Jack O’Neill

Have you noticed that everytime there is an O’Neill cameo that his voice has changed since he was a regular? He also has lost the evil twinkle and looks a little vacant. I’m a little worried about his health.

I know the two LL’s. My fingers got faster than me and I clicked ‘Post’. Sorry.

I think one L was the movie with Kurt Russell and two L’s was the tv series with Richard Dean Anderson.

Yeah, mention those to KevinDavis, he usually does the list. For some reason when I was checking the TV listings I thought FlashForward was one of those EMT dramas.

Although, during the credits of SGU, I saw that the writers were the ones who had done pretty much all of the previous Stargate franchise, so I have no idea what was going on. I have to say, I don’t like the look of the show, and ironically the thing that bothered me the most was the medic lady’s silly hairstyle. Granted, they took a spaceship there so it wasn’t like she had to carry anything, but WHY would anyone who was sane enough to get into a top-secret program bring SO many hair products to an alien planet?
