A preview of Being Human USA. It doesn't look too bad.

Having watched the first episode of "No Ordinary Family," on Watch, I got a bit of déja vu with "The Incredibles," mixed with a tiny bit of "Heroes." Anyone else see it?

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Only seen the pilot myself, like what I have seen so far.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

I'd say with one family member being a scientist, there's a similarity to the Fantastic 4.

Interestingly, the character of 'Jim' seems to have the exact same powers as Michael Chiklis' Ben/Thing character in the recent Fantastic 4 films, minus the CGI disfigurement. :D

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Yes, I got that as well.

I hope they make a decent job of it then, I used to love the Flintstones.

Does anyone know when Torchwood: Miracle Day will air?

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

There is no UK airdate yet. It premieres in the US on Starz on 8 July and should be shown here 'soon afterwards'.

Doubtless those that just cannot wait will simply access it by ... Ahem ... Other means.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

A date has been announced now, it'll begin on July 14.

Apparently Firefly hasn't been mentioned since 2008, so I think I will!

Are there any other Browncoats here on this board, or am I, like Mal Reynolds, the Last Man Standing?

I only discovered it this year, after hearing about it at a number of conventions I went to. Finally I saw the DVD set on offer in HMV, and I thought, "Well, I haven't heard anything negative about it - they can't all be wrong..."

They weren't. It's easily one of the best TV shows of any description I've ever seen, and I'm rueing the fact that I discovered it so late. I'm in the midst of writing fanfic, in fact, to be posted in the Blue Sun Room on fireflyfans.net. There's nothing about the show I don't like, nothing at all. It doesn't hurt that Jewel Staite and Morena Baccarin are cute and gorgeous respectively...:p:

You gotta love a folk hero like Jayne Cobb, though!

Favourite line of all time is Kaylee's complaint to Mal in Serenity:

"But he coulda made 'em family! 'Steada keepin' Simon from seein' I was there, when I carried such a torch, an' we coulda...goin' on a year now I ain't had nothin' twixt my nethers weren't run on batteries!"

Mal: "Oh, God! I can't know that!"

Jayne (typically): "I could stand to hear a little more..."

Here's hoping Fox/Universal/whoever see sense at some point and bring it back. After all, it happened before...

Can't stop the signal!

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

I love Firefly. I have the series and Serenity on DVD, and keep meaning to get the Blu-rays.

Great cast, and always good seeing them star or guest-star in other things (Fillion in Castle, Baldwin in Chuck, Staite in Atlantis, Baccarin in SG-1 & V, Tudyk in Dollhouse, etc.). Pity about the "Curse of Summer Glau" though of course! ;)

There was even an episode of Castle where the main character Richard Castle (played by Fillion) dressed as Mal for a Halloween party. Excellent little in-joke / reference.

Morena Baccarin is utterly stunning, and my no.1 "Sci-Fi / Cult TV babe".

Now I'm near the end of my "complete Stargate marathon", I'll probably watch Firefly again.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Castle is full of little Firefly references, plus Chuck has had a fair few too

I quite like Abed and Troys suicide pact from Community though :D
