Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Yes I saw them & liked them enough to give the TV episodes a go :tu:

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Ditto.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Do you know if anyone has picked it up for the UK?

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

sorry, no - I think it is Sci-Fi channel in the US, but whether that will transfer to showing in the UK, I don't know??

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Ah well. I wouldn't be surprised if Sky end up buying it.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

ITV2 have it. Well, since what I think was the official site led me to ITV2...

---------- Post added at 00:26 ---------- Previous post was at 00:25 ----------

Correction, it's ITV4.

http://www.itv.com/Drama/cult/Sanctuary/default.html

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

It starts tonight in America, but it starts on Monday on ITV4. Nice to see ITV are keeping up to date like BBC and Sky. :tu:

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

It's season 2 though, unless you have seen the webisodes it's going to be abit confusing (though from what i hear sci-fi have re-edited so from their view it may be season 1, in which case if you have seen the webisodes you will be in wtf mode)

S2E1&2 is already up on *well* you know where.

Bring It On!

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Using my "sources", the first episode is the first 4 webisodes, just changed a bit.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

So ep1/2 = all 8 webisodes edited and re-aired?

Why is sci-fi showing them as season 2 then? :confused:

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

God knows. This is off a forum I go on.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

It can't just be a simple edit though as the eps are only 17mins long :confused:

Guess i will have to d/l and watch now just to see.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

In the webisodes, it starts like over 100 years ago? This doesn't... I've noticed several changes in the first 10 minutes.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Being Human..seems to have made it to a series...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pre...24/human.shtml

Anyone know any more about it?

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

I watched the pilot & enjoyed it.

It is quite quirky, but humorous I found, with interesting characters that offer lots of scope for development - in my opinion, of course :)

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Nope, apparantly there's no cast changes though. There's been no information given out for this.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Just caught up with it tonight on ITV4..Not sure about it..and I'm not used to Amanda Tapping with an English accent.

Not certain if I will keep up with it...

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

I'm a bit confused - they're showing it on both sci-fi & ITV4, both started this week. WTF is going on? I watched the 1 on sci-fi, but what's the ITV4 1? [recorded it, but not watched it yet].

edit: I just looked at DigiGuide again, & it wasn't on sci-fi. I think lack of sleep is getting to me, must have got mixed up with someone else mentioning sci-fi.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

It's on the Sci-Fi channel in the US.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Just watched (V+) first two episodes of Eli Stone - really liked it.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Yeah, it was quite funny.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Very good show. :tu: I've saw all the first series, tis very entertaining. The second series starts next week in the US. :angel:

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

From the man who brought you Blade Runner and Alien............

Ridley Scott intends to direct The Forever War

https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2008/10/55.jpg

As you may have guessed by my nom-de-internet, it is one of my favourite SF books (along with it's (almost) prequel, Forever Peace, and it's sequel, Forever Free.

Here is the wiki summary of the book

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Loved The Forever War but hated the sequels..especially the last one..that true tripe...

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

To bits of news that i came across this week

(1) Abc are doing for v what universal did to galagtica battlstar and rebooting it if it work onlt time will know :)

http://www.darkhorizons.com/news08/081010g.php

than there was this ! (4th down) neet idea but i doubt Christopher Eccleston's up for anything like that :(

http://www.gallifreyone.com/news.php...lkAFyAVsoDLApv

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

V wouldn't be the same with out Jane Badler as Diana, the ultimate queen of sci-fi camp. :D

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

And here was me thinking it was Servalan :)

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Servalan is definitely right up there with the best of them - but you can't beat an alien uber-bitch with an 80s perm. :D

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Tries and finds a shower of liquid oxygen now......:)

Now that is just great News about V, My son has just got addicted to the TV series i bought years ago on DVD.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Eek, not sure what to make of V. Didn't like the remake of Battlestar Gallactica at all.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

I remember when they first said they would remake BSG, and changed starbucks sex, I thought no way and boycotted it.

Then on an offchance i picked the miniseries up on budget DVD and went WOW! what have i missed.

S1 was great, S2 was amazing, fell flat a bit in S3, but came back very strong in S4. Can't wait for the last 10 episodes. for once a remake that is worthy of something. I just hope they do the same standard for V.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Showtime have ordered a 4th and 5th season of Dexter already. Both will be 12 episodes and the first will start filming in the spring of 2009.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

1 minute 50 second clip from Watchmen

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Seen the trailer at the cinema a while ago but this does look a good film :)

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Looks weird to me ....

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

I find the overly stylized visuals quite off-putting. I thought Snyder's last effort, 300, was a piece of crap, and that the guy shouldn't be directing anything other than music videos. That said, Carla Gugino and Malin Akerman in tight spandex is hard to say no to.

Lost Season 5 trailer

I haven't watched it since season 2, but others may be interested.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

oh yes ! can't wait for season 5 ! hopefuly it won't be to long in to the new year until it starts

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

The BBC Press Office has announced that the first two minutes of the forthcoming Doctor Who Christmas special, "The Next Doctor", will be broadcast as an exclusive preview for the episode as part of this year's Children in Need charity telethon.


Nice can't wait to see it :D

Admin edit (Chris): Spoiler tags removed, there's really no need.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Cool:) Although not sure there is a need for spoiler tags as its actually all over the news.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

I'm guessing we're going to get to see the mini-cliffhanger that precedes the theme tune.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Empire (film magazine) cover - Energise!

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Yes, and the more I see of it (The new Star Trek film I mean) the more I grow to hate it...

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

... I just want to SEE it, they have been making it forever ... :grind:

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Any particular reasons? I haven't read or seen much about it, so don't really have any feelings on it in either direction [like or hate].

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

It will be interesting to see if a remake of Forbidden Planet comes to anything..


Mind I'm even more thrilled at the idea of a Lensman film..

But as I can't find anything later than January of this year I'm not holding my breath...:(

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

A Lensman film would be nice.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

How about this for some new info

http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=50166

Edit: ok I just noticed its the same info, lol.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/a1343...-revealed.html

So the Being Human cast has been revealed with only one original character and a new story. Thoughts?

I think this is a bad idea to change everything, it just doesn't look like it's going to work now.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Latest Watchmen trailer

long time coming that movie with a bit of luck it will be worth the wait looks awesome :)

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

The Sci Fi Channel has renewed Sanctuary for a second season, ordering 13 new hour long episodes.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

I've enjoyed the episodes I've seen up till now, so this is great news - anything that keeps Amanda Tapping in the public eye will 'do for me', but Sanctuary is intellectual, also :)

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Good and bad news for TV shows today then. I saw this earlier that it got renewed. I've enjoyed it so far. Bad news is for Monk, it's finishing after it's 8th season.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Oh no :( why was it canned it's a great show with many years ahead of it :(

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/ustv/a13...t-seasons.html

I honestly can't see how the production costs can be that high for Monk.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Perhaps they had to reshoot each scene 29 times ?

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

The Sci-Fi channel has ordered a 20 episode first season of the BSG prequel "Caprica" - to debut in 2010.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Yeah, I posted that.

http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/23/46615-caprica.html

That's good news - it excludes the TV movie.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Not sure if this has already been mentioned, but apparently Eli Stone has been cancelled, so the second season will be the last.

I'm not really that bothered by the news, I like it enough to keep watching it, but I won't consider it a major loss when it's finished.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

I wouldn't mind have the bandwith that the Sanctuary sub has.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

The only one that has actually been confirmed is Pushing Daisies, I believe. It's a shame though, I enjoyed Eli Stone a lot.

Imagine the speeds when it's floating at the top. But hey, shows always somehow have the best search engines, computers, internet connections and such.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Yeah but people would still complain about speeds

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Lol Homer and cimt, very true on both counts.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Wolverine trailer

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

That looks excellent!

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Wolverine does look fantastic.

I have a feeling next summer is going to be as good as this year has for some big movies.

Star Trek and Terminator will be the highlights of my summer :)

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

The last two Stargate Atlantis episodes where excellent.:D

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

I just noticed that they have been released as 'pre-air' copies - they are not officially due to be shown until January ....

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Which means that they may be parts of the episodes missing. It's what usually happens with pre-airs.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

they are both just over 42 minutes long :)

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Its not always scenes that are missing from pre-airs. Normally its sound effects, special effects, music or all of the above.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Being Human starts Sunday..:)

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00hb49h

Let's hope that if this gets cancelled that the ending isn't a cliffhanger.;)

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

me thinks it was a bit silly to put this on at 9 as lost is on at the same time and will more than likely wipe out any chance of good ratings

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Thats why I have my V+ :)

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Unlikely, as one is on a pay-TV channel and the other is free to air. BBC3 has a far larger potential audience and is less likely to take a hit from something else being on Sky. I would have said that there is a greater risk to Sky, to be honest. Plus, of course, ratings take account of time-shift viewing, so anyone who records either of these shows (whether by VCR, DVD or PVR) will be counted in the final figure for that show's audience.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Hasn't everyone downloaded the entire series of Lost by now off t'internet?

Anyway tis as Chris says..Both channels are not immediately available to everyone,everywhere so it's not going to be a problem for most as BBC programmes are available either to download on BBC's player or on VOD for those of us who have gone digital with VM.

Personally I hate Lost as it's too damned confusing,even more so since the hiatus..:erm:

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Well a reminder that it starts in about 9 minutes..:)

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Thanks for the reminder, i'll be off in a mo to give it a whirl :)

---------- Post added at 22:03 ---------- Previous post was at 20:54 ----------

That was pretty good, probably one of the better BBC drama's of the past year or so. On series link now :tu:

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Yes it looks like a winner to me..:tu:

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Seen the Star Trek one, GI Joe looks good as well. :)

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

That The Fast and The Furious 4 one, does that begin where Tokyo Drift left off or something? Because that first scene in that trailer looks a hell of a lot like the last scene in Tokyo Drift.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Apparently it is set after the second film(2 Fast 2 Furious) and before the third one(Tokyo Drift)

The new one is called Fast and Furious

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Great news. Presumably this Sunday's (ep.6) is the last in this series?

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Yeah, this series only has 6 episodes.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Very good news..I think this series is excellently written and I'm looking forward to seeing where they all eventually go in with the story.:)

I love the idea also that the BBC is encouraging new and young writers again..I hope they will be trying the same format of getting new writers to write a script with the chance of being made into a full series again in the future..Showcasing new talent this way should be something the BBC does more regularly...
