This weeks Sci-Fi Thread:

Mon:
9/8 - New Amsterdam

Tues:
10/9 - Jericho - CBS

Thurs:
9/8 - Lost - ABC

Sat:
9/8 - Torchwood -- BBC America


TOPICS: TV/Movies
KEYWORDS: jerhico; scifi; torchwood
Even though I like Jericho, my gut feeling is that the show is not going to be on next season, but we shall see. From what I have seen is that there are two endings, one that ends with a cliffhanger and one that wraps up the show.

Missed ‘New Amsterdam’. Looks like a poor mix of ‘Night Heat’ and ‘Forever Knight’.

Not a fan of either ‘Lost’ or ‘Jericho’.

The two episodes of ‘Doctor Who’ preceding ‘Torchwood’ were quite good. Especially seeing the Doctor in the un-Doctor-ish role of Mr. Chips. Great cliffhanger ending, too!

‘Torchwood’ is getting a little weird with Dead/Un-Dead Owen, though Martha is a welcome addition and I’m anxious to see what happens with Toshiko and Owen.

Still waiting for the next season of ‘Eureka’.

Jack.

Torchwood was kind of dumb this week:

I can’t breath but I can talk. What???

New Amsterdam is sort of more dramay at this point but it is hard to say how the show will develop because someone game me Lost on DVD and I am starting the 4th disk, so somewhere around the 14th episode and it still doesn’t seem to sci-fi-ee to me, though it has sci-fi elements. But one doesn’t know if they are sci-fi or psychological.

I’m always willing to give a fantasy-themed show a chance unless it is horribly horribly bad, like Flash Gordon.

New Amsterdam looks like an American rip-off of Torchwood, with a few serious flaws (really, HOW does someone live such a high-profile life and NOBODY in the entire city notices that he doesn’t even get older for 400 years?) but I like the ‘old New York’ stuff enough that I might give it a shot - and I just got back from break in NYC 2 days ago, so I really miss the place.

I haven’t seen Lost since last season’s finale, my friend and I decided to officially give up whenever Charlie died. Has anything particularly interesting happened, or is it just getting more and more improbable and convoluted?

The undead Owen thing in Torchwood is getting really annoying - by the end of the seventh episode it was already driving me crazy. But what’s this about Doctor Who?
