Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Agreed though I find it hard to see how they could make it worse than the other seasons so there's that I suppose.

Looks good.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Yep :)

For some reason it reminded me of Agents Of Shield, which after only a few eps, grated on me so much I deleted the series link.

I can only hope for better.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

you should have stuck with SHIELD as it dramatically improved and had a great season finale.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Yup, AOS massively improved.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

quite agree ..........but ........stuck with AOS and it got much much better,give it another go

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Too late I deleted the few remaining unwatched eps last week.

Sorry but I found the casting to be uninspiring and the stories, well, just boring.

Maybe I'm getting to the age when I seen it all before but I still enjoy an out-there yarn if the cast have the talent to flesh out the characters.

I found the characters of AOS to be disappointedly 1 dimensional :(

Nevertheless Kudos to those that stuck with it and were ultimately rewarded. One mans meat and all that.......... :)

Terminator Genisys trailer

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Interesting. Looks like a total reboot.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

It looks exactly like an Abrams-Star Trek reboot, via the use of timey wimey plot devices.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Indeed....

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Exactly what me and the Mrs said last night when we saw it. I actually quite like the idea to be honest.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Wow, looks good.

I remember that the trailer to AVP Requiem. " looked good"

Also DC Legends of Tomorrow which features Arthur Darvill from Dr Who as a time traveller who collects a team from The Flash/The Arrow including Sara Lance, The Atom, Hawkgirl,Firestorm + others

The Whispers started on ABC last night, could be an interesting alien subterfuge/invasion show

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

I have the audiobook and the original (copyright free) book. It's not bad at all, I am definitely looking forward to this one.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Killjoys could be a great little such "b" series

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

It's getting really quite good reviews - one said it's the best thing on SF TV since Firefly.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

That's being rather generous :erm:



You wait years and years for a new space-based SF series, and then two come along at the same time: Dark Matter and Killjoys.

Both are watchable, but neither one (so far) is particularly great.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Seen Dark Matter, not seen Killjoys yet.

Dark Matter was OK.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Killjoys is from the creator of Lost Girl so I was expecting better than what it was.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Given how Lost Girl has been getting worse each year, I wasn't really expecting much from it anyway.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Really ? :erm:

Thats not my view of it.

It was average at best, I'll keep going with it for now.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Yup, totally average.


I think that the best space-based SF we've had since Firefly are Battlestar Galactica and Stargate.


Killjoys is nowhere near on a par with any of those (nor is Dark Matter).

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

I think people are expecting a bit too much from it.. I did suggest it was a "B" series and you should view it as such.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

I am more enjoying the Whispers.

Proper creepy.

This show surprised me i started to watch it as it had Lily Rabe in it and the show itself has hooked me.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Latest trailer -

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wygm...layer_embedded

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Three new pilots popped up this morning on the usual sources

Blindspot
Lucifer
Minority Report

Lucifer is slated for 2016 with the other two for Sept this year

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Yep, picked all three up to take a peek at.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Watched Blindspot earlier, looks interesting.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Just watched all 3

Lucifer I liked the best but I think that's because it's my style of humour. Blindspot has the most potential and minority report is the one I least liked as the plot is held up only by the special effects

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

I have watched Blindspot & Lucifer so far.

Blindspot looked quite interesting though I wonder how irritated I might become if they drag the mystery on and on (and surely there is a limit to the number of clues on her body as well, which could be somewhat limiting).

Lucifer I loved, I'm definitely looking forward to seeing that, roll on 2016.

I still have Minority Report to watch, that sounded like the one I would be least interested in.

I decided to pull down the Supergirl pilot as well, and watch that, its had poor reviews so far ... :erm:

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

There's a teaser trailer on imdb of the new Westworld TV seriesx due out in 2016.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Sky Living have picked up Blindspot for the UK.

NBC has also ordered nine more scripts for the show, making it likely they will subsequently order the nine extra eps - to turn it into a full 22 episode season.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Netflix's Jessica Jones which is out on the 20th November looks interesting

3 minute trailer for Legends of Tomorrow

The more I see the more I like.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Jessica Jones is quite good, not relying on a lot of special effects with a good story behind it. Currently just watched ep3

Any views on SyFys The expanse ?

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

I really enjoyed the Expanse, and it appears to be keeping to the books (read the first four, got the fifth still to read).

---------- Post added at 11:17 ---------- Previous post was at 11:17 ----------

Can I also recommend Man in the High Castle, and episode 1 of Into the Badlands.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Is not Man in the High Castle on Amazon Prime?.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Yes it is, I watched the first episode yesterday, it was quite interesting. I'll be watching some more to see how it goes.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

I am up to Episode 8 of Jessica Jones. Its starting to get really really good.

Although Tennent doing his 10th Doctor accent it a bit jarring. Everytime he speaks I just think its a slightly evil 10th Doctor lol. He should really have gone with a different accent.

Captain America:Civil War trailer.

South of hell was shown back to back in the USA last night.... Looks like I have the ideal TV session for my birthday tomorrow.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

It's meant to be awful :erm:

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/rev...-review-843757

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

That's a shame. I've downloaded the first 3 episodes cause I liked the sound of it.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Plus they only showed 7 episodes, you have to buy it on iTunes instead if you want to see the 8th. Apparently you can't even buy the single episode you have to pay $15 for the season pass to get it.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

ITunes? OH you mean Usenet ;)

Some B series are so bad that they are hilarious to watch..

If bad I've still got Man in the high castle to watch

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

No, i mean iTunes. As far as i can see no one has bothered to rip that particular episode to usenet or torrents :p:

Halfway through Man in the High Castle myself. It seems pretty obvious where it's headed and it's a bit slow but i'm still enjoying it.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Sadly this was my impression as well, I enjoyed the first episode, but by the time I got to the forth, I found it slow going. In the end I skipped two or three, and watched the finale last night.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Lucifer has finally started reshowing the pilot as episode 1, must admit to watching the ep again and again enjoyed it.. just the right style of sadistic humour for me

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Yeah, Ive been looking forward to Lucifer since I watched the pilot last year.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Netflix has ordered a 10 episode reboot of 'Lost in Space'.

:rolleyes:

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

Interesting to say the least.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

If done right it could be good. The BBC are usually really good at period set shows. As long as it has a decent budget for the effects.

as the original book was set in that period it should hopefully work.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

I am looking forward to it.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

We can only wait and see. The bottom line will be the viewing figures.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

That is a fantastic image.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

There's several new series coming along later this year or next.

Bright Set in an alternate present-day where humans, orcs, elves and fairies have been co-existing since the beginning of time. Bright is genre-bending action movie that follows two cops from very different backgrounds. Ward (Will Smith) and Jakoby (Joel Edgerton) embark on a routine patrol night and encounter a darkness that will ultimately alter the future and their world as they know it.



Stargate: Origins Young Catherine Langford embarks on an unexpected adventure to unlock the mystery of what lies beyond the Stargate in order to save the Earth from darkness.



The Orville Set 300 years in the future, The Orville follows the adventures of a not-so-top-of-the-line exploratory ship in Earth's interstellar Fleet. Facing cosmic challenges from without and within, this motley crew of space explorers promise to boldly go where no comedic drama has gone before.



The Gifted Teens Lauren and Andy are involved in an incident at their high school which reveals their mutual powers to the world, forcing their parents to flee their old lives in order to protect their children. The Strucker family goes on the run, but things are made even more complicated by the fact that Reed is a prosecutor in the district attorney’s office tasked with going after mutants, which is why his children hid their powers from him for as long as possible.



Star Trek: Discovery Set roughly ten years before the events of Star Trek: The Original Series, this show sees the Klingon T'Kuvma look to unite the 24 great Klingon houses, leading to a cold war between his race and the United Federation of Planets that involves the crew of the USS Discovery.



Marvel’s The Defenders Marvel’s The Defenders follows Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist. A quartet of singular heroes with one common goal - to save New York City. This is the story of four solitary figures, burdened with their own personal challenges, who realize they just might be stronger when teamed together.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

I have added The Orville to the schedule but left Bright off because it is a movie and not a tv series.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 

I like the look of Bright so the post wasn't in vain and I'd never heard about it until now :D Generally always happy with Will Smith in an action but comedic role, lol'd at the opening sequence in the trailer.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
