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.

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

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.

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.

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.

This is good news!

Also a return for 'The Prisoner'
|
This is not such good news:
Quote:
|
Damien Timmer, who has been lined up to executive produce the show for Granada, told Broadcast the new series would take "liberties with the original" and would not retain its arty feel.
|
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.

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.
