:) Seen a mini workprint of the first looked ok and the first few eps sound interesting from what i read

Andromeda - S5 should have started filming on May 25th.
:) its already started airing on tv the second one is out today i think

Stargate - The Atlantis spin-off debuts on the Sci-Fi channel in July. The main series Season 8 also lauches in July. -

:) Atlantis 1+2 are very good after that prepare for a huge let down - SG1 s8 lacks RDA big time as hes off looking after kids but its watchable - a lot better than atlantis

Charmed - Rumoured that Season 8 will be the last, not bad considering that S7 hasn't launched yet !.

:) S7 is out now i think upto #3 #4 is airs on the weekend.

You missed Farscape peace keeper wars mini series - should be good i have just started watching farscape and its good i couldnt stick with andromeda but i will go back to it when farscape and voyagher s4 are finished :)

oh and smallville Season 4 is out now #2 was just shown

"Storm Front" is the name of the fourth-season premiere, picking up where the bizarre cliffhanger of "Zero Hour" left off. Director of photography Marvin Rush has adopted the use of a Sony 900 digital camera, after conducting tests with it last week on the standing ship sets and some exteriors. Those tests proved that the new generation of high-definition video now easily rivals film in look as well as practicality.

"If anything, it's neck-and-neck with film. And I'm just talking about aesthetics, image to image. I'm not talking about other aspects of how easy [the digital camera] is to work with or how flexible it is," Rush told STARTREK.COM.

In two days of tests, Rush's team was able to shoot more footage than planned, in less time than budgeted. And when they showed the footage to executive producers Rick Berman and Brannon Braga, "they both walked out of the room and said basically, 'Wow, why weren't we doing this before?

Start( Having mysteriously survived the destruction of the Xindi superweapon, a battered Archer awakes to find himself back on Earth in the 1940s in the custody of Nazi SS agents, and learns that Nazi-uniformed aliens have successfully helped Germany invade the United States. When he manages to break free of his captors, Archer joins forces with American resistance fighters to unravel the conspiracy behind the occupation.
Meanwhile, believing Archer sacrificed himself to save Earth, T'Pol and the battle-weary Enterprise crew attempt to figure out how to return to their own time. But then a near-dead Daniels appears and informs them that the future has been wiped out by a faction of the Temporal Cold War, the same faction responsible for the altered events on Earth, and they must be stopped.)End:

Do you mean episode 1 from season 4?

It wouldn't be too bad if it hadn't been done so many times before and was full of plot holes and inconsistancys....

But I'm not going into details 'till it's been aired over here :)

Anyway - I'll see how this mini arc pans out before I REALLY say what I think... But if it carrys on this poor it will definately be the end of the series.

It hasn't been on here yet - It was on UPN in america last week (with part 2) this friday.

This is why I'm not going into why I didn't like it :) - It would give too much away.

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets

well it wasnt that bad - worth a watch

Well once they've used their desperate ploy to get more viewers by having Bent Spiner in the series in a couple of weeks - THEN I hope they manage some original stories :) (with my fingers crossed that they don't find the money to pay William Shatner to be in it as well)

If it was original, and we hadn't seen much the same thing before - then I think I'd have been more impressed - but yes - it is worth a watch.

Don't get me wrong - I AM looking forward to some of the storys this season :D

Just not the first 4 or 5 episodes is all I'm irritated with.

I wouldn't miss enterprise for the world :D

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets

i kinda like enterprise a lot has happened in the past 3 seasons and all last season was very good as it had a story arc unlike the voyager / TNG eps who went from week to week meeting new alien almost getting killed by alien and escaping. ds9 had a good story arc and so did some of the other great sci fi / fantasy shows bab 5 farscape ds9 buffy etc, even sg1 kinda has a story but far to many random episodes of them going through the gate and something going wrong invloving time or one of them "missing" yet he/she can still see the others.

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets

I have to admit that the only reason I keep watching it is sheer disbelief that it could get any worse...!

I think the cliffhanger from the end of Series 3 was it's lowest point :)

So the only way from there is up :D
