Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
I haven't heard of it before but it sounds great. I am so glad that scifi is making such a massive comeback these days because once SG1 & BSG finished in ~2008 we were starved and had nothing decent for years.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
The original aired for 3 series starting in 1965.
From the same guy that created Time Tunnel, Land of the Giants and others from that era.
Was a great little show and there was a movie in 1998 with Matt LeBlanc and Gary Oldman.
Great theme tune too, well season2 & 3, both the original and the Apollo 440 version from the movie.
Apparently John Williams is redoing the theme for this series.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
I was talking about the Culture book. I used to love Land of the Giants/Time Tunnel/Lost in Space when i was younger. Like BSG and V, it is one of those things you look back on and think "it would be great if they could make it today with the new special effects so it looks real".
We are getting there. I think i said last week that i woukd like them to remake Land of the Giants. If this works out who knows!

Depends on the definition of sci-fi and personally I group all fantasy type stuff under the scifi banner, so Game of Thrones and Walking Dead would come under this label.
There has been a deluge of both scifi and fantasy shows, so I don't see how we are starved, but I suppose it depends on what you like.
There are just a few shows over the last eight years that come under scifi or fantasy banners that I think are worth a try for those that have not seen them:
The Expanse
Tru Blood
Awake
The Returned/Resurrection
The 100
Into the Badlands
Revolution
Colony
Falling Skies
Outcast
Outlander
Extant
Supernatural
Revolution
V
Some of the superheroes stuff, and obviously its not just a deluge of these type of shows, but a flood.
There's tons of stuff. In a sense, we're in a golden age of tv, the problem is not lack of shows, but finding them and having enough time to watch them all.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
Fantasy stuff comes under the SciFan umbrella, not Scifi and never will. You on the other hand can group anything under whatever banner you want.
Watch and follow whatever you enjoy.

My bad, when I said scifi I meant "space" series. As you demonstrated in your list, there has been a consistent flow of scifi shows over the last 10 years but apart from The Expanse (which I still think of as being new) we didn't really have any quality space series after BSG and Stargate finished.
I am well chuffed we have got Lost in Space and The Expanse one day after the other in April.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
that will be good, I have been hoping they would do something like this for years. It will be a premium series which will pull everyone to Disney's streaming service.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
This weeks sees the 100th episode of Agents of SHIELD.
However, its looking likely that it may not get past the end of this season, current rumours are that Season 5 will probably be its last.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
It does my head in. It is so much better than the DC shite (Black Lightning is doing my head in and I think I am going to stop watching it) and I would take it over the Marvel/Netflix series as well. I will look it up later but I am sure AoS had more viewers than the rest of them. I don't understand why they cancel good series and keep rubbish ones going.
I think they are doing it so the entire Marvel Universe syncs up and wraps up nicely because AoS has always loosely tied in with what is happening in the films. I know we are only getting P1 of Infinity Wars this year but they can't really move on story wise in AoS if they renewed it next year when P2 will still be dealing with something which happened a year ago (if that makes sense).

Quote from The Sun:
Game of Thrones fans got a glimpse of the final series as a huge castle set was erected in Belfast.
Workers, cranes and diggers are busy constructing the spectacular fortress, which included turrets and ramparts.
It's not clear what the set is trying to show - possibly the scene of a gigantic battle between Winterfell and the White Walkers, or perhaps a new fantastical location not yet seen in the much-loved HBO fantasy series.
The almost-completed £1million set is being built in Belfast's Titanic Quarter after a mammoth five-month project.
It is the most expensive movie set ever to be made in Northern Ireland.
Our set shots show panels for directors to add CGI special effects.
A shroud of secrecy surrounds the last season, with fans desperate to know how the epic saga ends.
