Don’t forget ECW!!!!!
I actually enjoyed Sarah Jane a whole lot. The opening story was like 150% better than any Torchwood story has ever been.
I think it is because being aimed at kids and not at some “watershed” ethos, they had to actually tell a good story (which seemed like a version of Larry Cohen’s The Stuff, only more sinister). The monsters were pretty good too.
There were times when the acting/direction seemed a little off, a little hammed up and maybe it went on about 10 minutes too long but I just remembered it was aimed at children and for the most part was a pretty cracking story.
In some ways it reminded me more of Classic Who.
BSG was great. Haven’t watched Torchwood yet. I can’t wait for this season of Torchwood to finally be over. Why couldn’t they just kill everyone off and start over with Tosh?
Torchwood was doing OK until it made the 90 degree turn to in-your-face queer then the main character was revealed as a homosexual.
I don’t watch any more.
*Gag* The Brits make the world's worst scifi.
Anyone have a lead on The Dead Zone and The 4400? I’ve lost track of them in the new 12-18 month cycles.
Does anyone know, I thought I heard that this was the last season for BSG?
Horrible, horrible, horrible, as in "click off my TV and don't watch a show if she's on" level horrible.
The 2007 Doctor Who Christmas Special - Voyage of the Damned - makes its premiere broadcast on the Sci-Fi Channel this Friday. The BBC was able to book pop star, Kylie Minogue to guest star in the episode. The Christmas Special is a copy of the Poseidon Adventure. A natural disaster strikes a carnival cruise in space and the Doctor tries to help passengers survive. A predictable episode with an underwritten villain who sounds like a bad copy of “Dr Evil”. The best part of “Voyage of the Damned” was the chemistry between David Tennant and Kylie Minogue. It seemed that Russell T Davies was so concerned about making Kylie Minogue look good that he forgot about closing up the plot holes in the story.
Overall, I give the “Voyage of the Damned” a grade of B-.
Fox is blasting off its new programming orders with Virtuality, a two-hour sci-fi pilot from BermanBraun and Battlestar Galactica's Ron Moore and Michael Taylor. The story follows 12 astronauts who are on a 10-year mission to find a distant solar system. They must be pretty bored up there, because they pass the time by hooking up to virtual reality modules — think Second Life, but you get sucked into the action. Good sci-fi trouble ensues when someone (perhaps a crew member?) hacks into the VR system and infects it with a virus.The concept came from Lloyd Braun, who, along with Gail Berman, pitched it to writers; Moore and Taylor turned out to be the perfect fit.
Fox boss/former Peacocker Kevin Reilly bought the program after NBC passed, saying, "Moore and Taylor have taken a complex concept and made it incredibly accessible."
Producers want to shoot Virtuality this summer with an eye on a February 2009 launch.
Are you excited about another sci-fi show from Ron Moore?

She was the most human of the humans. In some ways the only likable character on the show.
Oh well.
