Thurs:
9/8 - Lost - ABC
Fri:
8/7 - The Sarah Jane Adventures - SciFi
9/8 - Dr Who - SciFi
10/9 - Battlestar Galactica - SciFi
The Sarah Jane Adventures is growing on me. And always Dr. Who is a hoot. Wish his female companion were more imaginative and creative and more into sci-fi.
So what’s the story on the Sarah Jane Adventures?
I’m going to be honest, but I don’t like Donna.. I prefer Martha.. I tried to be open mind about her, but I just can’t like her..
I couldn’t place the actress there for a second, then it came to me...
(One degree of separation b/w James Callis and Alexander Siddig ;)
Thats who that was. I thought she looked familiar.
I'm starting to think that the Humans and the rebel Cylons are going to find Earth (in our past) and father our ancestors. That would make the intro voice over from the original series relevant. "Life here began out there... may have been the ancestors of the Egyptians, or the Toltecs or the Myians... (sp)"
operation double 007 horrible spy flick with the brother of sean connery.
o.k. the movie is not sci-fi, but it was hosted by mst3k. :)
Battlestar Galactica - IMHO, the best show on television. Truly inspired writing.
Eureka marathon this Sunday.... quite enjoyable!

...how about Judeaism?(Judaism?) It seems that the idea of ‘the one true God’ is catching on with Cylons and Humans alike. Maybe a whisper into Abram’s (Abraham’s) ear...
And possibly, those who do not believe as above go on to influence ancient Greece at it’s beginning.
But either way, I think you are correct in the timeline; I don’t think they’ll be jumping into present-day Earth.
I'm watching last week's BSG even as I type this. I've been losing interest quickly this season. Losing patience.
I missed Sarah Jane this week -- so that was Part II from last week and Part I for next week. No reason to watch part II on friday. It's okay to watch, but low on the priority list.
Lots of SG-1 for me to catch up on. It was a busy weekend -- and I didn't even get to see Speed Racer yet.
Please add me.
A muddled, confused Harry Potter wannabe that can't quite grasp the spirit of the original. If a little magic is good, an overload of it must be better. Right?
Wha...? [puzzled]
Sarah Jane is a spin-off of Doctor Who. She was the Doctor’s companion around 20-25 years ago. The show is geared toward
younger children, so lots less scary than DW, and much less risque than Torchwood, the other Who spinoff (for mature audiences only).
No magic or Harry Potter stuff whatsoever. She uses technology she got from her travels with the Doctor. I believe she’s also been in a few of the DW episodes as well.
Should be: I believe she’s also been in a few of the CURRENT ERA (2005 on) DW episodes as well.
Doh! It was driving me nuts trying to figure out who that was (what do you mean I could have checked the credits?)
Question, please - Is Jamie Bamber who played Apollo still in the BG series.
Sarah Jane is starting to grow on me.
Still prefer Martha to the Doctor’s most recent companion.
The ‘Eureka’ marathon was excellent, as always. Can’t wait for the new episodes in July!

I remember seeing the film ages ago on TV, when it was called ‘Operation Kid Brother’, robomatik.
Always have had a soft spot in my heart for a 1908 Broomhandle Mauser used as a personal weapon.
