Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

Blimey give it a chance first!!

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

Why not tho? Surely it can only make the story deeper!!

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

Depends I suppose on who the writers have in mind for other cast members to get into it, and for what reason

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

Thay should leave that sort of thing for the movie. that brings me to other point
What if any link will there be Between the tv show and the new superman movie
I mean thay have to do some linking Between the two or the hole thing will just
Become Nonsensical. :mad:

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

Your talking about "Superman Returns"? The two aren't connected if you are!

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

Yup superman returns but thay need a link it's Basically the same thing just in different time periods. :cool:

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

Hmmm I think they're better off keeping thing's seperate or else they'd have a hell of a job linking different versions of the same tale!

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

:Yikes: well at the end of the day it's not up to us only the Wb can Decide if there's going to be a link. :cool:

If everything gose ok thay will be makeing a new super-girl pic ! about a year after the movie opens alexis bledel is my number one pick to play supergirl. !

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

True! But i still think they'd be mad to try and link the two up!!

Oh god no! Not another Supergirl movie....... The first one was so naff!!

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

Oh yes ! i can't wait for tham to make it martin really i can't ! better People will
Do it this time. :) and just thinking about alexis in the supergirl suit just makes me get a special feeling inside.! :)

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

I got my sky magazine this morning - and this question (aboug BSG returning) was asked on the letters page.

Sky's reponse was 'In the new year'

It also mentions a new sci fi series 'Threshold' that starts next month.

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

next year :Yikes: next year :Yikes: well that sucks eggs :mad:

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

I expect that the DVD's will probably be available before then, at least on import anyway. Last episode of the second series tonight!

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

Don't you mean it's the last episode before the summer hiatus? not the last in the series.

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

There's more to come? :hyper: Can't get my head around these scheduling issues, surely a series should continue from one week to the next, then a break before the next series :confused:

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

Not in the US, they always have a mid season break.

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

They always take a break mid season its really daft. BSG SG1 and Atlantis won't be one again till Jan!!

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

Ant news if farscape is coming back after the special Peacekeepers war episode.

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

That was the end farscape is NEVER COMEING BACK ! :) :tu:

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

I did hear that if the PCW was sucessful they would bring it back

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

Why can't thay just leave it be for Christ sake. :mad:

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

Is serenity in cinemas on oct 17 :confused:

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

No, it's out on the 7 October.

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

Thank you :)

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

Stargate Season 9 starts on Sky One on Tuesday Oct 11th at 8pm, Atlantis Season 2 starts a week later on Wednesday 19th at 8pm.

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

I want a new Star Trek :-(

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

Well you'd better hope the new film (should it eventually materialise) is received well. The last I heard paramount/viacom are treating it as a pilot for a new star trek show.

Personally I don't think that star trek has a future as a tv series. Maybe as TV movies like Alien Nation did.

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

Yeah I need to be boldly going were know one has gone before!!

I've started watching all the repeats on Sky One/Mix to make up!

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

I know I hardly have any dvd's aswell of them aint paying £70 as some are asking for dvd boxsets from old series like Voyager and Enterprise.

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

What gets me is why people just don't record these show's instead of forking out a fortune on boxsets!

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

Cos most of them are shown with ads popping up every 15 to 20 minutes :shrug:

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

I want a new Quantum Leap. :(

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

I own every Star Trek Series on DVD (except the Animated series & Enterprise series 4 due on 31-10), because each box set has features that wont be seen on TV

Each box set cost approx £65.00
ENT = 21 DVDs, 3 Box sets = £195
TOS = 21 DVDs, 3 Box sets = £195
TNG = 49 DVDs, 7 Box sets = £455
DS9 = 49 DVDs, 7 Box sets = £455
VOY = 49 DVDs, 7 Box sets = £455

Total price...............................Ãâà ¢â€šÂ¬Ã…¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£1,755:Yikes:

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

Whilst they boldly reuse plots that they've done several times before...!

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

Picture the scene you record, then few month later goto watch perhaps with headphones on.

Sat back all relaxed with beer and a tub of popcorn.

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

I did read last year that there was a movie being made, set to feature Sam's Daughter who goes looking for him, not heard anything in a while so guess its not happening now.:(

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

But i thought the series had closure, so no more ;)

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

But it Didn’t :(

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

It turned out to be his own mind, and so leaped on

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

Yup thay start work early next year. :D


I was Lift upset and confused by the end of Quantum Leap :mad:

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

For those of you who have been collecting the B5 dvd box sets - or are waiting for the prices to drop (As I have been :))

Play.com are doing series 1 to 5 at £24.99 this month. I've finally ordered my series 5 set.

You can also get the movies for £22.99 - Which excludes the Pilot, In the Beginning and Legend of the Rangers (which you can get seperately)

Also Crusade for £24.99

I've never seen a single episode of season 5 - so I'm looking forward to finishing it off properly. The only thing I've got to decide is weather or not to watch it all through from start to finish :)

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

So the batcave did not have a smoke alarm?

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

Looks like all the fuss about if katie holmes was going to be in the next batman movie has been sorted out. :rofl: :Pumpkin:

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

£24.99 per box?

Hmm... :)


Season 5 - not very good, IMO. Well, when compared to the previous ones.

There were strong doubts B5 would get a 5th season, so JMS ended up cramming most of the rest of the story arcs into season 4 (hence why season 4's Shadow arc & Earth arc etc. seem quite rushed). But then it did end up getting picked up for a 5th & final season & he didn't really seem to have much left to put in it.

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

It may not be very good, but I couldn't not have the last part ;):D

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

Sad but true. The whole of season 5 could be lost and most people (inc me) would not miss it.

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

Is everyone ready for tonight?

I expect Atlantis will be there along with Bill C. :tu: :D

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

seen them all already.:D

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

No spoilers please :D

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

What a way to go :)

Space date set for Scotty's ashes

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

I quite liked the Enterprise series, but not the last season

After the whole thing with the Zindi was over, they seemed to get boring and uneventful

I wish they'd bring out a modern day startrek, starting off in the ST:Nemesis era.

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

Oh Doctor Who fans will love this Captain Jack's getting this own show :)

Captain Jack for 'Doctor Who' spinoff

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

This was hinted at by Russell T Davies earlier in the year. The show is to be called Torchwood which is an anagram of Doctor Who. It was also mentioned in the Bad Wolf episode and hinted that it would have something to do with the new series.

It sounds great as it should be a lot more adult than Doctor who has ever been. As long as its not as bad as the last Who spin off!!

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

So - I'm half way through The Last Train on scifi at the moment :)

Just a heads up for those who like older scifi stuff..... Invasion Earth is on scifi friday week (4th November).

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

Joss Weedon is apparently now looking at a Buffy/Angel spinoff tv movie centred around Spike. If it goes ahead it will address what happened at the end of Angel.

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

fight the good fight...

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

I see they are showing Odyssey 5 again on SciFi.

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

I have just watched the first (double) episode of this and WOW, it is very creepy sci-fi. I will definitely be keeping up with it.

(among others, it stars Brent Spiner [Data])

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

Are we looking forward to both star wars series?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertain...lm/4381934.stm

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

I didn't think that this deserves its own thread so this seemed the most logical place to post this....

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/article/ds25569.html

Never expected that at all, good on him though.

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

It really never is the one you would expect, my money was on Shatner.
Still, it sounds like he has had it rough with his family etc, good on him for coming out though, it must take a lot of courage for someone like him.

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

Hear hear! :tu: Just a shame it's taken so long for him to be able to do so, but that's not his fault :(

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

Threshold starts on Wed 9th November at 9pm, then every Wednesday at 9pm. :D

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

Paul which channel would that be??

I have just got the first 6 eps of a new US series called invasion, its pretty cool. Its all about a hurricane that hits the south of Florida but there are other sinister things going on people see lights in the sky falling into the water and after the hurricane it appears that some people who would have otherwise died have come back slightly changed.

Its all very invasion of the body snatchers but I really like it.:)

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

Sky One.

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

my digiguide says 'Threshold' doesn't start until the 16th November, 2100, Sky One :confused:

Odyssey 5, starting on Sc-Fi, 2100, Wednesday 2nd Nov looks like it may be good - I think it has been on before, but I didn't catch it the first time :)

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

I haven't looked to see when it starts yet to be honest. But I am looking forward to it.

As for odyssey 5 - I did like that a lot. But it was axed before it's time :(

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

Yes, that was added today. :) The sky magazine says the 9th, which is where I got the date from - so maybe they have put it back a week since the magazine was printed.

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

ah right - sorry, didn't mean to make it look like 'my digiguide is better than yours', seeing as it is you, that would be a little silly :D

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

Had a bit of a "Stargate: Atlantis" marathon this week...

Watched the whole of season 1, plus season 2 eps 1-10....

Quite like it so far :D

Just wish I'd kept up with SG1...not seen that since season 5...

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

Michael Piller is dead...... RIP.

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

Terminator TV series?

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/article/ds26082.html

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

I just watched the first three episodes of this, it's a bit slow getting gowing, but theres enough there to keep me interested in watching a few more. :)

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

I quite liked the sound of this until I read the timeframe it is set in. While it will be interesting in itself to see what becomes of Sarah before her death and the numerous scrapes they are sure to get themselves into. There can be little or nothing to do with terminators etc without ruining the continuity of the third and fourth movies, As we allready know that John Never saw another terminator since the one that saved his life previously.

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

Ah, but since we know that the T-1000 can change shape, maybe there's one that was watching over him all the time without him *realising* it...!

(Taken from the Big Book of Cheesy Plot Devices #17 :D )

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

Ok - so I'm a bit irritated with myself.....

I used to really like Alien Nation....

And just found out that it's ON itv 4 on Friday nights at 8pm.... Yet another heads up :)

Oh and there is a a fair few other oldie sf series on there so its worth a look - space 1999 :) and some other stuff.

I'm a tad irritated that I missed the first 2 episodes of alien nation tho.

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

Hey dilly they are also showing the UFO series as well at 8pm this evening.;)

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

MMMmmm - I never got into UFO................ But I guess it's worth another go :)

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

Just a reminder, Threshold starts at 9pm tonight on Sky One.

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

First one looks good, we shall see how things develop?


One annoying thing about many sci fi series is the way the natives of various more highly evolved planets all dress in a very similar fashion/colour! You walk down any High Street and there are a huge variety of styles/colours which is never reflected on the TV. :shrug:

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

Just seen Threshold. Looks pretty good so far. I'll see what the next episodes are like before I make any judgement.;) :cool:

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

I look forward to seeing it in the morning :)

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

Not SF, but ITV4 are also showing The Water Margin on Saturday evenings at 6pm - excellent series.




Just watched it. Not bad. Could develop quite well.

Hopefully won't get canned after 1 season.

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

Atm, it doesn't look like they are even going to finish Season 1. The first 13 episodes have been paid for, but the other 9 to make up the first season have not yet been given the go ahead, and it's not looking good. :(

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

Typical :(

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

MMMmmm Battlestar Galactica gets a season 3 :)

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/article/ds26341.html

http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire2005/index.php?id=33290

Also a return for 'The Prisoner'

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertain...io/4447216.stm

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

Indeed, I forgot to post that the other day. Also, Stargate is getting a Season 10, and Atlantis a Season 3.

Invasion (which has no uk schedule yet) has been confirmed for it's full 22 episode Season 1. Supernatural is also apparently doing well and should make it to the uk next year.

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

This is good news! :)

This is not such good news:

The Prisoner was an excellent piece of original TV drama and IMO should be left well alone :(

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

Well bad news Threshold has been axed. Only 13 episodes are to be made.

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/article/ds26778.html

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

I can't say I'm surprised. Ok, it's only had a few episodes here, but I wasn't particularly impressed by it.

Lots of running around, "dramatic revelations", threats of "hidden menaces" (hmm, terrorists, anyone?!) but it was always going to be rather limited by its basic premise.

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

Changed my avatar back to normal ... :D

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

What was it before? didn't notice:dozey:

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
 

only a very subtle change from normal. :D

In that case I'm glad I haven't started to watch it yet.
