The Sci Fi Channel lives down to its name, again.

The only entertaining program I've ever seen on the Sci Fi Channel was MST3K. Most of the stuff produced for the Sci Fi Channel should have been presented on MST3K.

I liked it. It is TV, after all. We're not talking the Foundation Trilogy or anything like that. It was good.

[I missed the first 45 minutes.] That brain surgery scene was pretty good. What happened? Did the aliens make everybody in the room go crazy?
To: vikingchick
Dad, the pilot, had a seizure, went for x-rays, found "tumor". Son has identical "tumor". Father and son innocently approach evil overlord of Blue Book and get sucked in. Rerun tomorrow at 7:00.

I guess that makes three of us. I think it's somewhat believeable, unlike films like Alien. I also liked Close Encounters.
To: Joe Hadenuf
I think it's somewhat *believable* too.
To: Joe Hadenuf
I just won't invest 20 hours in a show I think is slow. They did a good job on "Dune" on SciFi, and I'm really pleased with how they picked up "Stargate", but this seemed a clunker.
Not that I'm a science fiction geek or anything.
To: Chancellor Palpatine
I guess I am strange, I prefer the less spectacular science fiction films, specifically UFO type films, without the gawdy monsters.
To: Joe Hadenuf
Ah - like "Starman" (which was pretty good, despite having no budget and being shot on mundane sets).
To: Chancellor Palpatine
Yeah, Starman was pretty good. I also like Contact, with Jody Foster.
To: Joe Hadenuf
That one kinda grew on me.
Along those lines, there is a series of books by an author named Ian Douglas called "The Heritage Trilogy". Hard science fiction (not fantasy), set in the middle of this century. Its about US Marines, alien artifacts on the Moon and Mars, a war against the UN. You'd probably enjoy it.
To: Chancellor Palpatine
Thanks for that.
To: Joe Hadenuf
No problem. I'd missed them when they first came out, and slapped myself for all the crap I'd browsed and bought instead. I've got a huge rack of books, some I liked, some I should have tossed before I was halfway done.
They're "rock 'em, sock 'em, drink a beer and sit and have some smokes" kinda books.
To: Chancellor Palpatine
I'll look for it. Sounds great.
To: js1138
Oh my goodness! Last night's episode was good! Although I did miss the first hour of it...my brother had to watch Fastlane on Fox...so, I'm gonna plant myself in front of the tube at 7pm this evening to watch 4hours of Taken.
The brain surgery scene freaked me out. That little micro-chip that turned into an insect looking thing, was a little Matrix-ish.
Can't wait to see what happens to Jesse Keys.
