Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

2 things give me the creeps.

1. is that dude that can stretch him self out and get everywhere and eat peoples organs.
2. that dude in 1 episode who worked for a circus and had that puppet that killed the kids..

oh xfiles if only u answered some questions!

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

yes!
Just hope they don't change the liberator.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

I suppose it depends if it's a remake or a sequel.

It would be nice if they could find a souped up liberator type ship :)

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Another (longer) article. Apparently they are making two 60 minute episodes.

Being Human

If you watched this one off drama back in February you may be interested to know that the BBC have comissioned a 6 part series. Being human was about two friends (one is a werewolf, the other is a vampire) who live in a house with a young woman (who is a ghost).

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Any suggestions for the actress to play Servelan? :naughty:

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Dr Richard Dawkins will play himself in the Dr Who S4 finale, Michael Brandon will also appear as a General.

The next Christmas special should feature the Cybermen as they have been spotted on location (filming in a graveyard).

ITV have picked up the new Sanctuary series to be shown on ITV4 later this year.

The BSG prequal series (Caprica) is taking shape, with the Graystones and the Adams (later to be the Adamas).

Although not officially announced, SC-FI do not appear to have renewed Flash Gordon.

Primevals third season has begun filming, with three new characters joining the cast.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Interesting stuff about Dr Who :tu:

Also the confirmation of Sanctuary on ITV - the first tranche demanded a sequel, so something to look forward to - in my opinion, of course ;)

Thanks Paul ..

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Knight Rider has been picked up for the 2008-2009 season.

Moonlight has been cancelled.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

...with hilarious consequences.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Reaper has been picked up for a second season of 13 episodes.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

i like moonlight! i like vamps :(
i hate US TV

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

I'm gutted about Moonlight; don't think I've been so much in love with a show since Firefly. I sure know how to pick 'em :(

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

I Wish they'd bring farscape back...i miss aeryn!

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

I can't be bothered to get involved with fantasy/SF TV shows anymore.So many get cancelled and when you have invested time in getting to know the characters and their stories, it's rather peeving to find yourself left hanging mid story wondering how it all turns out. It really pees me off.:mad:

The end result is I just don't watch them.What's the point in never knowing how a story ends?

I'd rather buy a book and know that there will be an ending of sorts and I won't be wasting my time.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

I know how you feel - the attitude of the tv companies is very confusing - basically they want long running series, with big story arcs, but they also want to be a ratings hit straight away - so basically they want the last season of a popular series straight away - which is never going to happen - and whenever ratings drop they can it.

You've obviously not read some of the books I've read then...

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

You mean your stash of pron in the attic? We all know how that ends.:D

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

What, his stash of Black Lace books :)

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Wow, they wrote agadoo, and they wrote books too? - talented guys

That is what you mean, isn't it? :)

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Fox announced their schedule today.

We already know the Sarah Connor Chronicles was returning for Season 2, now confirmed as well are Bones (Season 4), Prison Break (Season 4), The Simpsons (Season 20) and 24 (Day 7). There will also be a two hour 24 special on Nov 23 to bridge the gap between Day 6 and Day 7.

There is also a new series called Fringe

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Yeah, I agree. I'm not gutted that it's been cancelled, but I am disappointed. Sophia Myles is still cute, though I think she's gained a bit of weight since her appearance in Underworld.

I never really managed to get into that. Ended up with a bunch of eps on my V+ waiting to be watched & me finding other things to watch/do instead, so I ended up just deleting them & cancelling the series link.

Just a suggestion, but you should check out TV.com, especially for American shows, as you can often find info about whether a show gets canned early before it gets shown over here.

Anybody got any idea when season 3 of Supernatural is going to resume over here?

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

I just watched the finale of the 3rd series of 'Bones' - which was totally weird - series 4 is going to be interesting trying to pick that back up ????

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Indeed, I never suspect Zack - in fact it seemed a bit out of character to me.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

just have to wait & see, I guess :dozey:

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

For those who follow the US showing of programmes, two shows return in July ;

Eureka (Season 3) returns on July 29th.
Stargate Atlantis (Season 5) returns on July 11th.

On a seperate note, there are rumours that there may be one or more Battlestar Galactica "made for tv" movies filmed later this year - but they wont be set after S4 ends but sometime in the S1 - S4 timeline..

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Its not rumors, there is one already in production called 'Caprica' and will show the beginning of the Cylons. Cast has been confirmed for the story as well.

If the two hour movie does well then it may become a series
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caprica_%28TV_series%29

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

The rumoured TV movies Paul M mentioned are in addition to the spin-off series "Caprica".

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

My Bad:dunce:

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Does anyone on here know when the web episodes of farscape start? cant find any info!

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

FYI, The DVD Screener of episode 1 of this is now available from the usual places.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Thanks Paul, just watched it & I thought it was quite good - certainly worth looking out for the next one to see how it develops :tu:

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Just watched it, first impression looks good, let's hope it develops well.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Anyone know when Stargate Atlantis (Season 5) & Sarah Connor Chronicles (Season 2) will be starting on TV in the UK ?

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Nope, but Atlantis starts in the US at the end of July, and as I recall, Sky usually follow within a few weeks. Sarah Connor will not be on in the US until September, so dont expect it here until after that.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Just watched this, not bad.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Interestingly the first episode of series 5 of Stargate Atlantis appears to have been leaked onto the web in advance of the planned US broadcast date of July.

No link, obviously, but it does seem to be the real deal.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Yep, d/loaded the Preair of Season 5 Ep 1 today - its real.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Just watched the pilot of this and enjoyed it good story good action good twist nice bird what else can you ask for

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Season 7 of 24 is apparently set four years after the last one, which reportly means its set in 2017.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Wow, that's some leap.....

I can hear the voiceover now.....

"The following events take place between 11am and 12pm, 4 years after the last story.

Sorry about that, I got locked up for being a bad boy."

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

What a surprise ;)

Stargate: Continuum has leaked...

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

A even bigger surprise, Ark of Truth is better

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Watching it just now :)

Fantastic, so far liking it much better than Ark of Truth.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

baal humbug ;)

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

There's a problem with 24. Jack doesn't seem to age in it. I mean, he must be in his 50s and the stuff that happens to him? All the running he does, the torture he goes through.

Also, do we expect to see flying cars or the start of flying cars in this season? I wonder if they'll also show custom cars...

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

That's because he is Jack Bauer! :cool: ;)

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Apparently for the first 2 hours of the new series, Jack balances his cheque book, and sorts out his tax return - gripping stuff!

---------- Post added at 07:01 ---------- Previous post was at 07:01 ----------

Stop right there! - there's no such thing as a problem with 24 :)

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Hey, I love the show. I spent several days of my life doing nothing but watching every episode of 24. :erm::D

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

RIP Don S Davis

Better known to us all as General George Hammond from Stargate - he died sunday morning from a heart attack at home, he quit the series with health issues - he had had ongoing heart problems and diabetes. Age 65

Sad news indeed. :(

Missus says she first knew him from Twin Peaks, in which he apparently played a somewhat similar character.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Watched an ep of x-files last night which he was in, looked pretty young really.

Remember him from the early SG1 days,feels kinda weird.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

It's only when you look back at some of the really old episodes of SG-1 that you realise how far it's drifted from where it started. It's gone kind of the way Star Trek did, much too obsessed with its own universe and mythos with too little attention to just telling good, self-contained sci-fi adventure stories.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Watched it last night, quite good.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

got some big news about the next seson of The Sarah Jane Adventures

Dunno if anyone has said yet but Fringe has been picked up http://uk.reuters.com/article/televi...28649120080515

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

I don't like her, but some of you lot do ;) so I thought I'd mention that Freema Agyeman (Martha - Dr Who) has a leading role in the BBC revival of the Survivors series due to be shown later this year.

More info about cast and program (If you've not seen the original could be spoilers)

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets

Geekasm!

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Be interesting to see how it transfers to the screen - I just wonder if it will do badly because the only people that go to see it will be the people that have read the graphic novel.. and the story line might be a tad strange for a lot of people that haven't

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Link isn't working.

It's a shame they've returned to chasing wee beasties instead of extra-terrestrials.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Shame we gotta wait till January at the earliest to see it.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Wow, Zachary Quinto really does look like Leonard Nimoy, I had to do a double take when I saw that.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

the RSC must have known this sort of stuff was going to happen when
thay cast two of the biggest names in Science Fiction to star in there
play how it took tham so look to get a clue is is beyond me :rolleyes:

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

I've been chuckling about that all evening. Over at the doctorwhoforum.com they've been organising official outings to go and see Tennant at the RSC. There are a lot of Who nutters who are going to be very unhappy indeed. :rofl:

Mouse eating at its best, also Freddie Kruger is a pussycat in this, great series though.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Excellent.

I still need to get the original miniseries + The Final Battle first though.

Used to have the lot on VHS. Not seen it in years.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Get tham now V is one of the greatest Science Fiction shows in the history of mankind.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

It's harmless, camp fun, and Diana is a superb old-school baddie, but one of the greatest ever? I don't think so.

The whole lot was repeated from start to finish on Sci Fi about 18 months ago IIRC, I watched it all then.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Isn't that the title of the 7th book?

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Apparently not...However the author chosen is rather a good children's author..the Artemis Fowl book I read seemed pretty decent.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Wrong that should be

Ameglian Major cash Cow :)

Nerdy to me is replying to previous posts with quotes ;) :D

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

You mean Peter Davison, whose wife was Trillian in the TV series. I'll stop now :D

Was Peter Davison playing the Cash cow?

Dish of the Day at the Restaurant and the end of the universe was Peter Davidson ;)

The new series of 'Sanctuary', with Amanda Tapping, kicks off with a double episode on American TV, Oct 3rd. :)

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

I've seen the webisodes. It's OK, it uses god knows how much CGI instead of sets. I've looked at the trailers of it, but they seem to just show parts of the webisodes.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

That is one thing I will be interested to see - i.e. whether this forthcoming series will rely so heavily on CGI ...

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

You see the webisodes, like? It has a lot of potential.
