Is it me, or we headed to a "Firefly" verse future??

[KevinDavis]

A big thanks goes to Visualops for the Banner!!

[Crazieman]

I still wish FOX wasn’t so stupid and didn’t try to deliberately kill off Firefly.

[exist]

I shall miss TSCC.

[KevinDavis]

Same here..

[KevinDavis]

I know.. If it had a good following for 13 episodes, imagine for 4 to 5 years..

[Pippin]

Good Afternoon!

Can I be put on your weekly Sci Fi ping list?

[Crazieman]

As a rule, if I like something, it dies/goes away. I have begun to notice a trend.

[kaylar]

Same here. :-( And not just for media-any consumer product, too. It’s like I’m the Grim Reaper of Foodstuffs in particular : if I like it, it’ll be discontinued .

[Crazieman]

Oh yeah! 3 I can think of immediately. Surge, Prego Meatball Parmesan, and Tyson Southern Chicken Nuggest (can’t find any here)

[kaylar]

RIP Lemon Kooler cookies...Schweppe’s Raspberry Ginger Ale...Bar None candy bars...Moose Brothers frozen pizza....Campbell’s Fisherman’s Chowder...Chef Boyardee Chicken Ravioli in Alfredo sauce...Coke Blak ...Next to join you will be Canada Dry Ginger ale with green tea

[Syntyr]

Please don’t shoot the messenger but Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles will notbe back for a third season. Confirmed, Target Acquired and Terminated...

We were offered a tour of the studio and was asked is there anything in particular we would like to see. Of course I didn’t pass up this opportunity and said “Yeah, I would like to see the TSCC set”. He looked at me kind of funny and I almost fell over when he smiled and said “It’s all gone sweety, they tore it down a couple weeks ago, (paused a second then said) everything“

With the possible exception of NCIS, it was the best show on TV.

Oh well.

What does that leave? NCIS, Breaking Bad, maybe Burn Notice.

I guess we'll find out whether Stargate 90210 has anything to offer this fall.

PS: Thee Dollhouse jumped Thee Shark on Friday night.

Joss should be ashamed to be associated with that dreck.

[KevinDavis]

That was a good show.. I wish that SciFi channel would show it.. Instead they are showing Ghost Catchers..

What are you talking about, "jumped the shark?" I thought that was a really interesting episode, and could add quite a bit to the plot lines. And I think that it's a terrific show with a lot of potential to boot. It's finally getting on its "feet," now that it's had 7 or 8 episodes to get going.

I LOVED Space Above and Beyond

I liked the Hot Chick, Kristen something, and the guy who plays Bill Buchanan on “24”

[Captain Beyond]

Bummer on Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. I was hoping it would last at least another couple of seasons. Oh well it was fun while it was on. Hope they have a good Season wrap up next week maybe they will do a dvd movie or something.

[misterrob]

YOu could put a Change sign in your front yard.....

[misterrob]

They really screwd the pooch on that show. So much potential and they instead use crap writers.

BOOOOOOO
