We can already expect those from Arrow, Flash, Supergirl & the Legends (and possibly even Batwoman).
Although Black Lightening will participate it won't be a Black Lightening episode.

Here's the schedule for it.

Supergirl: Sunday, Dec. 8 at 8 p.m.

Batwoman: Monday, Dec. 9 at 8 p.m.

The Flash: Tuesday, Dec. 10 at 8 p.m.

Arrow: Tuesday, Jan 14 at 8 p.m.

DC’s Legends of Tomorrow: Tuesday, Jan 14. at 9 p.m.

Its also been stated that Arrows crossover episode is episode 8.
This is interesting given that the final series is supposedly 10 episodes, but hes supposed to die in the crossover ?

The LOT episode is also a week before the season has previously been stated as starting, which means its probably the first episode of the season.

I completely agree, I have watched them each year and tbh I consider them to be a disservice to the characters and the universe. They are pathetically weak stories with no substance designed to get as many characters together as possible and because there are so many characters (regardless of which series you are watching) none of the series-specific characters have time to shine through and be the full characters that we know them to be and everyone just seems to be in the background while Oliver, Cara and Barry stand in front of the camera and do their thing.

Potental Darth Vader Prequel Series being considered.

It seems Lucasfilm is open to exploring this period even more in another show, based on the most iconic Star Wars character of them all. We Got This Covered has heard from our sources – the same ones who told us Ewan McGregor was returning as Obi-Wan back in May, and that Robert Pattinson was locked in as Batman – that a Darth Vader series is being considered.

fantastic. The fact that they are trying to get the original actors back for it is brilliant, it all adds to the realism factor for me by maintaining the continuity and feel of the story.

The Rise and Fall of House Targaryen: Yet another Game of Thrones prequel is in the works and close to getting the greenlight for a pilot. Set 300 years before the events of GoT, the series draws from George R.R. Martin’s Fire & Blood and will focus on the rise and fall of the Targaryen family. That book tells the history of the family and covers such major figures as Aegon the Conqueror and Aegon the Dragonsbane. Martin will write the pilot script with Ryan Condal (Colony).

nice, I love it when they care enough to do things like this.


Not so good news, a BSG reboot is in the works which I am not happy about. BSG is a superb series and tbh I can't see any remake or reboot living up to the quality of the original (2003) and only being worse. Plus, the effects in the original were awesome and even though it has been 16 years (which I can't believe) it isn't as if you watch and think "omg that looks old and could do with being remade".

I agree Paul. The original series was a masterpiece of it's time including the SFX. That could be due to Glen A Larsen's production company being involved.

Have you watched the 1978 series General?

General Maximus 18-09-2019 22:50
Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 
I loved it when I was younger (8 years old) but like Buck Rogers and The A-Team etc, it is kids stuff, way to cheesy and not serious enough (my realism factor). I loved BSG 2003, it is my second favourite series ever behind B5. It isn't just about the special effects, the story was excellent, the tone and look of the series and you really felt the tension and the ever impending annihilation of the human race. There were many an episode when my heart was racing and I was on the edge of my seats thinking "this is it now, they have had it". In terms of my realism factor, when the humans got their asses kicked you saw it, whether it be big explosions on ships and destruction or some bloody dead bodies. It doesn't have to be guts and gore but when you have that kind of story line where killer robots are relentlessly hunting you down then you need to see what the consequences and repercussions of that are.

The thing which made this series stand out, like all great series, is three things. The acting, the story and the characters. It was truly an ensemble cast with no leading actor and every character was great. You have Adama, Tigh, Apollo, Starbuck, Dee, Gaeta, Chief Tyrell, Baltar, No. 6, Boomer etc. All fantastic and adding something different to the story. The one person who did do my head was flipping Billy (President Roslin's assistant), he was an absolute drip.

The original 1978 TV movie (which actually had a theatrical release - I saw it at my school film club) was superb. The full first series started off well but was running out of ideas in its second half, and didn’t seem to quite know whether it wanted to be an all action epic or more metaphysical musing.

And the less said about the follow-up Galactica 1980 the better. :disturbd:

The 2003 reboot was superb from beginning to end ... end of. :D

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 
Not really something to brag about when it has been cancelled. Maybe if it does well on Amazon they'll try and buy it and keep it going. Tbh i think this is what should happen with all series, it is only a fair way for networks/the people who fund them to gauge true interest and $$$ revenue. HBO know GoT was hugely popular in the US but also hugely popular globally and as such made it available to global broadcasters. I dont understand why series like Swamp Thing arent broadcast on a US network like NBC and arrange for another service to air it internationally. We have seen many a time with movies (e.g. Alita Battle Angel and The Great Wall) where they flop in the US and it is international markets which hold them up.

fantastic, that is actually going to make the whole thing worth watching. I think they missed a trick not getting him back to play Superman in Supergirl. It will be interesting to see how many people recognise him though. Coincidentally I am working my way through Smallville atm (currently at season 6) and the other day I looked him up on imdb. Sometimes you see actors move onto other things quickly like Buffy, Willow and Lana but I hadn't seen Tom in anything since Smallville. Turns out he is in Lucifer which I don't watch but he looks completely different now. I didn't recognise him at first and thought it was Karl Urban. It is funny how people like Lana still look exactly the same yet Tom is completely different.

Earlier this week, reports came out that a reboot of the beloved 2000s "Battlestar Galactica" was in the works and headed for NBCUniversal's new streaming service. As much as this had us scratching our heads and asking why, we were also intrigued by the fact that "Mr. Robot" and "Homecoming" showrunner Sam Esmail would be in charge. Thankfully, Esmail came out and cleared everything up, explaining that his series would not be a reboot, but a new story within the "Battlestar" mythology. Whew! Another bit of good news from Esmail: Ronald D. Moore has given the project his blessing.

I interpreted as less of a telling of the same story and more of another story in the same universe; synonymous with TNG and DS9. I may be wrong.

Damien 23-09-2019 15:50
Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 
Yeah I read it as a continuation in a different part of the universe, presumably to make it worthy of being in the universe they'll have things like Cylons and references to the events that took place in Galactica.

Galactica would be interesting now as the original reboot took place just as television was becoming more 'serious, audiences were trusted more and the budgets were increasing. A few years later they would have likely gotten bigger budgets and been allowed to do fewer episodes per season

tbh this is one series I am very happy with as it is. I never saw it as being money deprived and I definitely don't want fewer episodes. You can call it a soap in space if you want to as many people do with B5. I want to immerse myself in the universe and I loved the 20 episode seasons; the more the merrier.

Deborah Chow has helmed several episodes of the 'Star Wars' spinoff series 'The Mandalorian' ahead of its Disney+ bow Nov. 12.
This is the director Obi-Wan has been looking for. Deborah Chow, who directed episodes of the upcoming Star Wars TV series The Mandalorian, is returning to the far-away galaxy and will direct the series featuring the popular character Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Ewan McGregor is returning as the Jedi Master for the series Lucasfilm is making for Disney+, the stand-alone $7 streaming service that the company is launching Nov. 12.

Chow has proved herself in the elevated genre space in cable series. In addition to two episodes of Mandalorian, she has directed and worked on shows such as American Gods, Better Call Saul, Lost in Space, Jessica Jones, Reign and Mr. Robot.

it looks like they are going all out. I don't know how many people watched it but back in 2001 ish there was a series called Birds of Prey and Ashley Scott is reprising her role. They have apparently approached Michael Rosenbaum (aka Lex Luthor from Smallville) about appearing as well but he said thanks but no thanks. It would be fantastic to get all the old actors back, it would be like the DC tv version of Endgame. I haven't read anything about Lana yet, I am keeping my fingers crossed.

A pity. I quite enjoyed it, though I can see how it has been an acquired taste. It has made the all-too-common Marvel TV error of having its lead characters spend far too much time agonising over their powers, losing their powers and generally getting done over, rather than actually being action heroes. It also went in a bit hard with the voodoo ...

Funny, on the big screen the MCU rules and its DC that finds it hard to produce acclaimed box office hits, whereas on TV DC’s roster of heroes are back year after year for many multiple seasons and Marvel’s output (with the notable exception of Agents of Shield) finds it hard to get past 2 or 3 at best.

Yep, they seem to forget that people want their action hero series to have ..... action & heroes :)

Agents of SHIELD managed it, and so survivied.
Runaways is doing a pretty good job, and has managed 3 seasons (maybe more).

The rest were pretty dull most of the time (Daredevil, J.Jones, Iron Fist etc), even Luke Cage got a bit dull.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
 
you need the right actors and characters for it. If for example it was done in the same tone as the New Adventures of Superman with Dean Cain and Terry Hatcher it would have been too cheesy and not worked. It would be perfect though if they did it with the same cast from Smallville and got Tom Welling and Erica Durance back (although I want it to be Lana/Kristen Kreuk). Those guys really nailed it and made it mean something when it came to the emotional moments whether it be humour, sadness or love. Lana and Clark had a couple of special episodes where everything was perfect and their lives were bliss. I would love to see them zip forward 10 years and for Clark and Lana to have settled down in the Kent house in Smallville living in perfect happiness with baby Clarke's running around the farm. It would be hilarious seeing them playing chase and speeding around the farm, burning wholes in the grass and lifting cows up.

It has been common knowledge for a while but HBO have unveiled their new streaming service. There is a obviously a tonne of existing content which will be available on it but the exciting thing is going to be the new original content which will be in the works. If it was any other service I would be very meh about it because you know they were doing it out of necessity to justify to the existence of the platform however you can be very confident that with it being HBO the quality of the new series is going to be exceptional.

Yup, got through it all in about a week (which is saying something with the competition for the TV in our house).

It’s quite old fashioned in many ways. Reminded me of the sort of sci fi novels I loved as a kid, by Ben Bova and the like. It takes a couple of episodes to get going and the dialogue can be a bit expository at times, but it’s a well conceived universe and it’s a story that unfolds at pace. It doesn’t suffer the all too common problem of having just one idea that they then have to spin out over 10 weeks.

They are beginning to shop the property for series, with Glen Mazzara (The Walking Dead and The Shield) and Prison Break and Star Trek: Discovery‘s Vaun Wilmott attached to adapt the sci-fi fantasy tale.
Having read the books years ago this is something I'm looking forward to coming to fruition.

Noah Hawley is directing the Next Star Trek Film

https://www.comingsoon.net/movies/ne...star-trek-film
Quote:
Hawley is best known for his work in television. He achieved mainstream success on FX when he created the Fargo TV series in 2014. Three years later, he followed this up with the X-Men-adjacent series Legion, which also aired on FX. Hawley made his feature directorial debut earlier this year with Lucy in the Sky, which he also co-wrote. He was also attached to write and direct a Doctor Doom standalone film for 20th Century Fox before Disney absorbed the studio’s IP.

According to THR, Star Trek 4 is expected to feature Chris Pine as James Kirk, Zachary Quinto as Spock, and Zoe Saldana as Uhura, among others. Pine’s return is somewhat surprising. Last year, Pine and franchise co-star Chris Hemsworth reportedly opted out of the film over salary disputes. But fortunately, it sounds like these have been resolved.

I also have the set of Elric novels. This will be an interesting adaptation as some of the content is quite "challenging".

Trivia: Elric also appears as a cameo in "Dancers at the End of Time"

Stargirl actually appeared in Season 2 of Legends of Tomorrow (played by a different actress).

The CW have confirmed series orders for both Superman & Lois and Walker.

Superman & Lois will star Tyler Hoechlin and Elizabeth Tulloch, the actors who have played the roles in Supergirl and the other Arrowverse crossovers.
In the Supergirl series the couple are married with a young son.

Walker is a reboot of 'Walker, Texas Ranger' and will star Supernatural’s Jared Padalecki as the lead character.

No further news on the planned Arrow spin off, but next weeks Arrow episode is the the pilot for it.

I still would have liked to have seen Tom Welling and Erica Durance in it.

This is interesting.

On Tuesday, Disney CEO Bob Iger teased when season two of The Mandalorian will debut, and also revealed that the Disney+ series could even launch spinoff shows based on its characters.

During an earnings call, the exec said The Mandalorian will return in October and will run beyond season two, "including the possibility of infusing it with more characters and taking those characters in their own direction in terms of series."

Hard to know where to put this as it is bound to be missed no matter where I put it but Wandavision and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (Marvel series to stream on Disney+) are premiering in August and season 2 of The Mandalorian is returning in October as Pip has previously mentioned.

A trailer for Utopia Falls has dropped on EW you'll need a VPN to view it though (at least I did).

Just to clarify, Wandavision is due in December, not August.

According to the Pogdesign calendar, Lucifer Season 5 is due on 6th June 2020.

I have not been able to confirm this anywhere else atm.

I'll look properly later but suspect June is a guesstimate based on previous air dates

Sources now say Tom Ellis has signed a new contract to continue his role, which paves the way for Season 6 - so hopefully we will see a renewal announced soon. :)

Sanctuary may be getting a reboot, with Amanda Tapping returning as Dr. Helen Magnus.

The original article on Deadline seems to have vanished since being picked up and repeated by various sites.

I will give that a go, i love Amanda Tapping. I can remember watching a couple of eps back in the day but i couldnt get into it.

There will be no more new Supernatual episodes aried for a while.

They have filmed a few more, but hadnt finished post production when everything stopped. They still have to fim the final episodes.

Snowpiercer is coming earlier than planned, it will now premiere [on TNT] on May 17th.

The virus is biting into current CW shows.

Legacies & Supernatural are both on hold with no return date.

Batwoman, Supergirl & Flash are running out of new episodes to transmit.

Nancy Drew has finished Season 1 at 18 episodes, Charmed will finish on 19.

I believe Legends of Tomorrow filmed all their episodes before the outbreak.

Just in case anyone needs a retro fix, the complete series of Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes have just appeared on Netflix. Missus and I watched s1e1 last night, it’s still superb and Gene Hunt’s still a legend.

Is that a series or the film? If it’s the film I saw it on Netflix or amazon ( can’t remember)

It was OK, nothing more.
