Yeah, I know, another gratuitous Summer Glau pic.
Two weeks to the premiere of “Defying Gravity.”
Man that is a bad week for Scifi.
What idi anybody think of Hangar 13? I’m having a hard time watching it. A silly show that takes itself too seriously. I’m TSCC tainted, I suppose.
I ran across these guys yesterday while at my local bookstore. I bout both books and the signed them for me. A couple of local guys trying to make it in the world of writing: http://legendsintimebook.com/
So is Merlin some sort of Arthurian romance and Meteor a ‘here it comes’ catastrophe flic?
It lacks the humor that Eureka has. It tries, but just falls flat. And it’s too campy to be a drama. So don’t think it’s going to go far.
To me hanger 13 had concept genius.. but the execution is slow.. and very very boring..
I've only caught the first episode of Warehouse 13....I liked the characters, if that means anything. ;)
‘Warehouse 13’’s second episode was pretty good. Nice guest appearance from the hot ‘BSG’ and last season’s ‘Burn Notice’ chick.
Mkya’s starting to loosen up a little and Artie’s got a hacker mystery to solve. Still willing to give the series some time to find its groove.
‘Eureka’ rocked with an episode focused on Jo, instead of Jack.
The ‘Torchwood’ episodes have all been re-runs of some of my favorites prior to ‘Children Of God’. I already miss Owen and Toshiko and wonder why they were written out.
BBC has a mini-marathon of ‘Doctor Who’ with Chris Eckleston
and Rose which id kind of interesting.
Jack.
Hangar 13 is a disappointment. They have that hangar full of interesting stories and all they do is go to a bank robbery and talk about the chick’s mother.
Bullseye. Lots of potential but boring.
Oooh. Gotta make sure that my Eureka and Torchwood timers aren’t in conflict. Both shows get repeated a bunch, so no biggie.
Looking forward to Captain Jack & Co. I hated to see Owen and Tosh go. It took a while to accept Owen. Seeing that flashback episode explained a lot.
Missed it except for the last half hour. Which was fine because it was one of Eccleston's best moments. It took a while for me to get used to him, but I missed him once he was gone. Not that Tenant is bad, but I liked Eccleston better.
The Doctor Dances, where "Everybody lives!" is just a great performance (although, ironically, the dancing at the end it silly and seems like padding).
Also, "Don't like them touch you." "What happens if they touch you?" "You're looking at it."
I liked his reaction to the first Dalek he saw, and his challenge at the end of the season.
Oddly enough, one of my favorite Tenant bits occurs in the Sontaran episodes when he's wearing a gas mask and asks, "Are you my mummy?"
It's quite ... illuminating.
Merlin is basically Smallville-King Arthur. It’s OK, kind of fun.
Like Disney's The Sword in the Stone?
