TV Show Snippets & General Information
A few bits of information I have picked up today :)
Enterprise - S4 confirmed - but will be the last unless viewing figures improve. Andromeda - S5 should have started filming on May 25th. Babylon 5 - Rumours of a film are very strong - still awaiting confirmation from JMS. Stargate - The Atlantis spin-off debuts on the Sci-Fi channel in July. The main series Season 8 also lauches in July. Dr Who - The BBC have (apparently) settled with Terry Nations estate to allow the Daleks to appear in the new series. The first episode "aliens" are rumoured to be the Autons. Firefly - A film ("Serenity") with all the cast is in production. Battlestar Galatica - The series in in production for a 2005 debut. Dead Like Me - Series 2 is in production for (I think) the Autumn. Charmed - Rumoured that Season 8 will be the last, not bad considering that S7 hasn't launched yet !. On a side note - Both incarnations of one of my favourite baddies - "The "Master" from Dr Who - are now deceased. Roger Delgado (the original) died in the early 1970's - His replacement (Anthony Ainsley) passed away a few weeks ago - he was 71. |
Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
All very good news, except 'Dead like Me', which I never got into and the news about 'The Master'. Thanks Pem :tu:

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
Thanks Pem.
Anyone heard anything about the Red Dwarf film?I can't find anything later than April 2003 about filming taking oplace in Australia and summat about a September shoot. Incog. |
Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
I'm looking forward to the new Battlestar Galactica series. I never liked the original, but the new pilot film was very good. I especially like the new blonde Cylon :naughty:

BTW does anybody have any info for what they planned for a conclusion to series 8? I heard that supposedly Ace Rimmer Saves Rimmer from the disolving Red Dwarf and reunites him with the other dwarfers who have jumped to another dimension through the quantumn mirror but I never heard anything else about it.

Im not that big a Dr. Who buff though, could you tell me who the autons are? are they those brain thingies that created the Daleks? (I dont even know if what I just said is right, I think it is :D ) Quote:

I saw a new design for the Dalek in an old Dr Who magazine - I hope they go with an updated Dalek.

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: Sounds like a good un http://www.fileheaven.org/forum/imag...on_biggrin.gif |

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets

wasnt to bad.. |
Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
Quote:
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. |

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets

even if its rubbish i will watch it so few sci fi shows these days have to watch em to get my fix. |
Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
Quote:
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...!

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
For those that are interested this is just a reminder that the Battlestar Galactica (2003) film is on sky 1 at 9pm (with part 2 tomorrow night at 9.05pm) both parts finish at 11pm.......

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
So what do we think of the first episode of BSG?
Im very impressed so far, its Rather bleak & apocalyptic but then I like that :) Im also very impressed with the Centurians, I was so dissappointed we didnt see more of them in the mini series movie. |
Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
Quote:
Actually - I quite liked it.... I must admit I like the apocolyptic stuff too.... And although I do like the new centurions - I'm also hoping there's a cameo of the old ones :) |
Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets

Well whats her face said in the movie that the old ones still have thier uses so im sure we'll see them. |

anyone watch new farscape?

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
:erm: I was watching Century City on the Sci Fi channel.Raised a very interesting theme based on the idea of genetic profiling on unborn babies might lead to a situation where couples will specifically refuse the homosexual gene for their unborn child and a doctor who thought that this was wrong was slipping in the gene anyway where ever he could.He then got caught out and was sued for emotional distress by the parents to be.It was very thought provoking.
Incog. :) |
Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets

They also opened up a new angle that we didn't have in the original series - what happened on the colonies after the war? I can't wait to find out what turns up there. |
Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
I liked the new BSG except the documentry style camera kept making me dizzy all that wizzing around and zooming in and panning out.

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
Quote:
The only main differences between this and the original are... The original war didnt go as one sided as it did in the original series. Everyone is 50 years younger, basicly just so they could use known names from the original series. The Galactica is smaller (At least it looks that way), though I think this was to make it look less like a crockodile and more like a millitary ship. The colony of the 12 government seems sickeningly identical to the american Government of today. They dont really believe Earth exists. They have lost the Egyptian them that Galactica had in the original, shame since I liked that, it gave them a link to our past :( im interested to see if they get back to Earth or not. I wonder if it is going to be like voyager with the main plot forever being about getting to Earth? or if it will be like the original where they stumble accross us and the rest of the series will be about Earth & Galactica? Im also wondering what state we will be in technologically, will it be now? will it be the 1980's? will it be the near future? or will it be the distant future? |

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
Just another heads up...
Sky 1 is showing the series of Tripping The Rift at 10.05pm from tomorrow night. The scifi channels site is here http://www.scifi.com/tripping/ more info here http://www.sadgeezer.com/tripping/ Original (Pre pilot) movie from here http://www.ausgamers.com/files/details/html/738 There are going to be offensive areas on this site - so be warned. I've only seen the pilot and the original animation that the series is based on but I thought they were quite funny. |

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
I don't know if anyone has said about it / seen it but, just for info, Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars is showing on Sky One, starting on Sunday (16th) at 9 o'clock.
Having missed it originally, I'll be tuning in, so this is just for info :tu: |
Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
i had just got round to watching all 4 seasons of farscape and while i think some of it was real cheap and poorly acted most of it was magic :) the main dudes are great and the way its got a constant story line is superb - i also really enjoy Johns use of earth terms to all the aliens as he pretends his name is Luke skywalker etc :) i watched peacekeeper wars last week and it was good - shame we didnt get another few seasons :(

Re: Science Fiction & Fantasy Snippets
ok,
here's a question to test the true fans out there: anyone here been to an actual sci-fi convention? i've been to several, and am going for the first time in three years in a couple of weeks time :tu: i last went when i was 18, and my other half (who i've managed to convert into being even more of a star trek fan than she used to be) wanted to see what it was all about.... i warned her that it would be scary, but she wanted to go, and plus it's around my birthday - so we got tickets. and, fortunately, that means we get to see patrick stewart for several hours in the afternoon, lol! :) P |
