What happened to ‘Enterprise’ on scifi or syfy or whatever their flavor of the month is.....
It’s my favorite star trek, do to its general lack of PC and prime directive crap, since the TOS (voyager being the worst...with the exception of 7 of 9).
The Dr. Who is going to be wonderful. Am washing and waxing my Tardis.
On another subject: a few threads back, I mentioned seeing the same two character actors pop up on reruns of Poltergeist the Legacy and Stargate: SG-1 within days of each other, and something similar happened a couple days ago.
I finished an episode of Poltergeist on the DVR, and when it ended, the Syfy (ick) channel popped up. There was a marathon of "The Outer Limits", which I've only seen a couple of episodes. Anyway, it was the first scene, so I figured I'd watch until the opening credits. Two people running from soldiers in the woods, one throws a knife at a soldier, infects him somehow and he starts to die horribly. An officer arrives and looks at him, apologizes and shoots him. That officer was Derek de Lint from Poltergeist. I've never seen him in anything else (that I've noticed, at any rate).
Okay, so I watch after the break, first thing I see is Nathan Fillion who owns a coffee bar. Okay, I'm interested. Next, is his assistant, played by Robbi Chong, also of "Poltergeist", and also someone that I've never seen in anything else. Hello? Okay, now I had to watch just to see them in other parts.
There was a logical reason why these two turned up together: the director was Helen Shaver, also of Poltergeist.
Anyway, the episode was "Star Crossed", and it was sort of a remake of Casablanca with humanoid aliens in place of Nazis, and a Russian woman in place of Claude Reins who didn't seem "Shocked" at all. Not terrible, but I'm glad they didn't write the original.
I haven’t seen Warehouse 13 yet. Thinking about getting the episodes from Itunes to catch up. Is it worth it?
anyone else notice that Eve Myles has packed on a few pounds? I mean she was never Billie Piper, but she was cute in a Welsh DHH kind of way.
Although not Sci-Fi, I really enjoy NBC’s KINGS. An updated look at the story of David.
They showed a nine-minute preview of “The Prisoner” at Comic-Con on Friday. I never heard of the original, but this new preview looks pretty good. Cast members were there to talk about it. Here’s a link to the preview we saw:

For those fans of the original, how does this compare?
I thought Children of Earth is exactly what I was hoping from the so-called “watershed” series when I first heard about Torchwood. I think Children dealt with a tough issue in an adult way and was insightful in the way government officials might handle such a crisis.
I actually found the 4th episode to be the most depressing.
Even Gwen was less annoying this time out.
Overall, this is what I expect and hope for from speculative fiction. Bravo!
Does anyone know if that Doctor Who episode is repeating any time this week? I was traveling back from out of town when it aired =( and I’m still behind with Torchwood, but someone’s much younger sibling is visiting my apartment for a few days so it’ll have to wait till they’re not around...
