I see they've finally given Harry acting lessons, although he seems shorter than I remember...

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Just hope they follow the books a bit more. The films are way to sanitised.

Battlestar Galactica's 3rd season is on a 1 month Christmas / New Year break, after tonight's State-side airing of season 3 episode 11 "The Eye of Jupiter".

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Has anybody been watching heroes? Its apparently starting on sky in the new year some time?
When I first heard the premise I was expecting another mutant X but this seems to be so much more. Will post a linky if someone doesnt beat me to it after I get back from work.

The Two Stargate Movies appear to have been announced ;

http://iesb.net/index.php?option=com...1613&Itemid=75

"Stargate: The Ark of Truth"

As SG-1 searches for an Ancient artifact which they hope can defeat the armies of the Ori, they learn more Ori ships are about to be sent through the supergate to launch a final assault on Earth. Daniel discovers that the artifact, the Ark of Truth, may be in the Ori home galaxy, and SG-1 embarks aboard the Odyssey to find it, and pre-empt the attack. The IOA has a plan of their own and SG-1 ends up in a distant galaxy fighting two powerful enemies.

"Stargate: Continuum"

While SG-1 attends the execution of Ba'al, the last of the goa'uld system lords, Teal'c and Vala inexplicably disappear into thin air. Carter, Daniel and Mitchell race back to a world where history has been changed: the Stargate program has been erased from the timeline. As they try to convince the authorities what's happened, a fleet of goa'uld motherships arrives in orbit, led by Ba'al, his queen, Katesh, (Vala) and his first prime, Teal'c. SG-1 must find the Stargate and set things right before the world is enslaved by the goa'uld.

Trek
Trailers for the ST:TOS remastered versions, with enhanced CGI.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Currently watching Westworld on TCM, when I saw this, some way of yet though

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0475784/

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Good heavens ... what would be the point, the original is a masterpiece! What's the betting the remake relies so heavily on FX to emphasise the fact the park is all computer controlled that it completely forgets to inject any suspense.

There are few things scarier in sci fi cinema than the sound of Yul Brinner's spurs in the distance. :D

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

I watched the pilot of another new sci-fi series last night (from the states) called PainKiller Jane - it was slightly weird to start with, but a promising start. Sci-Fi have ordered 22 episodes.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

I was just thinking the same!
There's no way a re-make could be as suspense filled as the original.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Thanks for the info Paul. The link says it next shows at Friday at 10pm. Is this a repeat of the pilot of the start of the series?

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Next Friday will be Episode 2.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

I also watched the first episode of another series called 'Drive' - about a secret race across America. The description sounded a bit dull but I gave it a chance and I'm glad I did, it was actually quite good and had me reaching for episode 2.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

I've just watched some of a new web-based project, called Sanctuary, starring & produced by Amanda Tapping.

http://www.moviesonline.ca/movienews_12027.html

First impressions are favourable - the CGI is very obvious, but understandable, given the budget, but the acting & storyline are spot-on, imo, so far.

So far I've seen 4 episodes, each of which is about 15 minutes long.

One surprise was the very credible English accent from Amanda.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Well, she was born over here ;)

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Considering she was born in Essex, I'd still say her credible English accent was a surprise :D

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

I've watched the four available episodes as well, quite enjoyable, I'm looking forward to the next four.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Excellent :) gonna enjoy watching these :)

You can take the girl outta Essex, but taking Essex outta the girl :o:

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

I just watched Babylon 5 - The Lost Tales. Not bad, but not as good as I hoped, although it was nice to see make an appearence.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Is that a new one?Or an old one?

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

New one.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

I used to love babylon 5, not seen it in years.

I liked the big alien, that was cloaked, and had a strange head, was kind of the wise one.

ik

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

The Vorlon ;)

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

You mean the guy in my avatar? His name is Kosh :)

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Yes, he was a Vorlon.

I watched the pilot of the Sarah Connor Chronicles tonight and quite enjoyed it - there was plenty of action and set up the series nicely.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

thanks for that, especially the 'spoiler' - downloading now ;)

<edit> and has been watched - very good first impressions, if it can maintain the pace it should be great :tu:

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

The second series of Eureka starts on Sky One on Tuesday 2nd October at 8pm

This was an excellent fantasy/sci-fi series that is entertaining and often quite funny.

For some odd reason, it's known as 'A Town Called Eureka' in the UK.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Excellent :)

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Thanks Paul..For once it doesn't appear to clash with another programme.:)

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

This has just started filming.....

I bet Alan Moore hates it.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Eureka is having a third season commissioned - Yay!

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Good! :)


I'm annoyed that The Dresden Files was cancelled though. I thought the 1st season showed a lot of potential.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Fantastic - the second series has been really enjoyable - just the season finale left to go now.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

For those that want to know its the start of Stargate Atlantis Season 4 tonight in the USA :)

Cannot wait for the morning so i can watch it. ;)

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Thanks for that, I got all exited the other day when I thought it was released already, but it turned out to be a pre-production version with no music or sound effects....

Heroes & Bones already have started new series, so things are looking good :tu:

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Got a ton to watch this weekend ;

Bones, Journeyman, Reaper, Atlantis, Prison Break, The Unit, Flash Gordon, Bionic Woman

and that's after already watching

Chuck, Eureka, Heroes, How I Met Your Mother, The Simpsons, Sarah Jane Adventures & Mythbusters ....

:eek:

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

:nworthy:

I have to catch up with some of those too :cool:

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

The books are soooo much better...:)

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

I think there is about to be a large increase in trans Atlantic traffic:D

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Another new series I'm also checking out - Moonlight

"Moonlight centers on a private investigator, Mick, who is also a vampire. As he works, Mick must deal with the ups and downs of being immortal, his adversaries in the vampire world, and a forbidden love he feels for a mortal."

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Hmm. A vampire PI, who has a forbidden love for a mortal?

What's that sound like then? ;)



There's a few other new shows which don't sound particularly original. Can't remember their names, but one had a premise which seemed to be pretty much "Quantum Leap", while another sounded very similar to "Brimstone" (v good show from a few years ago, only lasted 1 season, had a dead cop sent back from Hell by the Devil to round up some escaped souls).

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Those would be Journeyman & Reaper. :)

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

So, any good then? :)

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Watched Journeyman, and it was quite good. Its a bit like Quantum leap except he gets sent back in time to save people rather than leaping into the person's body.

Will keep watching to see how it turns out.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Journeyman - it was a bit confusing to start with, but good enough to keep watching. One thing that bugged me was how easily his wife was convinced at the end.

Reaper - Yep, entertaining and quit funny at times, shall continue with that.

Moonlight - for a first episode I thought this was very good, even my daughter got hooked by just a few minutes of it. Definitely going to watch more of these.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Trailer for Pixar's Wall-E

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

its good to see the dog soldiers lad getting a good run around after rome.

moonlight wont last it was pretty obvious whats going on cant we just have buffy etc back? :) it was nice to see marshall from alias turn up as a camera man.

bionic woman - was..ok for now. 2 x bsg crew.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

A reminder...


"Eureka" ("A Town Called Eureka" in the UK) returns to Sky One tonight at 8pm with a double-bill to kick off the second season. It's on at 9pm from next week onwards.

Season 4 of "Stargate Atlantis" starts on Sky One next Tuesday (9th October) at 8pm.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Oh bum..the footie is on and it clashes with CSI Miami.Why do all my favourite programmes clash? :mad: Neither of them will be appearing on VOD either.Grump,grump. Rollocks.

:sniper:

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

It is on five US tomorrow at 9pm - do you get that?

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Sorry misread your post...thought it was ScFi channel..which just had a Eureka weekend so I thought that they would be showing the second series...:blush:

So got to see CIS anyway.:tu:

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets

Anyone annoyed with running DS9 adverts with Enterprise stuff on it on Virgin 1?

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Nope :)

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

One of the other promo's mentions a new series 5 (in 2008) on comedy central.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Just got round to watching Charlie Jade episode 1 on FX - hope it gets less confusing in episode 2 (and I like stuff like Day Break).

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Always liked DS9 and found it odd it was the one not repeated :erm:

So pleased that it is on its way to Virgin 1

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Mondays looks like 5th gear, then Virgin +1 for DS9 & Enterprise - nice ;)

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

A few snippets from my TV Zone magazine, these may have been mentioned before as I'm a month behind reading the mag !

Virgin One has bid for the rights to show Battlestar Galactica.

BBC2 has picked up the 6 part series Origins (spin off of Heroes).

The BBC and Joss Whedon now look set to make the Buffy spin off Ripper as a 90 minute movie to be shown in 2008.

---------- Post added at 15:21 ---------- Previous post was at 14:55 ----------

Virgin 1 will also be showing the Sarah Connor Chronicles.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Stargate Atlantis has been renewed for a fifth series of 20 episodes.

Eureka has also been renewed for a third series of 13 episodes (I think that may have been mentioned before).

Three more season one episodes have been ordered for The Bionic Woman, Chuck and Journeyman.

Four more episodes of Moonlight have been ordered - despite it apparently not doing great in ratings.

A full 22 episodes of Pushing Daisies has been confirmed.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Always good to read about shows being renewed instead of canned :)

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

So what new fantasy / space type stuff do we have in the pipeline ?

I know Atlantis is on Sky, but i'm on Virgin. And Dr Who will be back again next year, but what else can i look forward to ?

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Same here. I've bought each box set of season 1, 2 and 3. The third one i made the mistake of buying from Australia though and had to mess around with my DVD player until i managed to make it multi regional. I do know what your talking about though.
;)

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

I watched this last night :D

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

NBC is understood to have placed new series Bionic Woman and Journeyman on the scrapheap due to poor ratings.

http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/index...ory=1&id=46274


shame really as i liked Journeyman and BW wasnt bad at all.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

I won't miss the Bionic Woman much - that really hasn't been brilliant IMO.

Shame about Journeyman though, that was getting better with each episode.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Well Well Well look whats shown up on the net in the last few days ?.

http://gateworld.net/news/2007/12/mg...ark_of_t.shtml

The full work print has appeared on all the well known sites and is a very watchable version as well according to people in the know.


How the hell did someone manage to get hold of that considering its not meant for release till March. :shocked:

Not that i condone you all downloading it to evaluate it ;)

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

A screener has already appeared on usenet....

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Torchwood returns for season 2 mid january, first episode features the guy who played spike in buffy, also there will be edited versions shown as repeats before the watershed for younger viewers

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

I believe the 16th Jan is the start date and its on BBC2, not sure what time though.

Saw a trailer for it yesterday and it looks might good.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Does any know when "The Sarah Connor Chronicles" starts in Virgin 1 or have I already missed it?

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

IMDB show a launch date in the USA of 14th Jan

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0851851/

- but when it starts on V1 I have no idea, March time would be a guess?

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

so what did we all think of the TSCC ?

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

I enjoyed it.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

I liked it. Going to watch the 2nd ep tonight.

The opener was slightly different from the test ep as they had a different guy playing the ex-boyfriend so all scenes with him were reshot.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

anyone for Flashgordon (no not ramsay..) starting on sci fi, a modern day flash but based on the early comic book.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Flash Gordon is okay, Ive watched the first 16 eps, with no. 17 waiting.

Really enjoyed TSCC again (watched the pilot last year).

I also watched the first episode of Jericho Season 2 last night, got two more to watch - looking good so far.

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
