Since KevinDavis is out of town for the weekend, I've offered to take over the weekly sci-fi thread for the week.

Also, if any of you missed the premeire of Stargate Universe, it's re-running tonight at 11 PM on SyFy, and is also available on Hulu.com

This is the makeshift weekly sci-fi ping. Since I wasn’t able to get the full list of names, I’m just pinging everyone from the usual list who I could see and then everyone who commented on last week’s sci-fi thread or the Stargate Universe thread - so feel free to ping anyone else who’s usually around here who I missed!

Not a regular on this thread, but wondering, has anyone seen "Flash Forward"? Seems like a good show, strange but good.

Thanks for the ping and good job filling in for Kevin. Have a good one. :)

Primeval has been picked up for a two-season venue, split 7/6 for a total of 13 episodes.

AMC ANNOUNCES “THE PRISONER” MINI-SERIES PREMIERE SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 15 AT 8PM ET/PT

Dollhouse is experiencing low ratings and web chatter is that it will be pulled soon.

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

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.

Good news for Chuck fans! It's coming back SOON. Likely related to NBC's axing of Southland after deciding the 6 episodes that were already shot were unsuitable for the post-Leno 9PM slot it was given. Both Southland and Chuck were scheduled for Fridays so that either means they'll either move the 8PM show to 9PM and put Chuck at 8PM (my hope) or they'll run Chuck at 9PM on Fridays up against Stargate Universe (which I hope they don't do, though I'll watch Chuck and catch SGU via DVR if they do). The question remains whether Chuck can get decent ratings at 8PM or 9PM on Fridays.
