Rosbjerg Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Hey, I don't have a problem with intelligent drama, SF is a solid vehicle for that. Jericho was good, for example. What I don't get is the apparent necessity of US TV companies suddenly using ageing, cheesy IP like Galactica and 'V' to do it. Cheers MC On the bright side, the next generation will be so fed up with the lack of original ideas that we will see nothing but completly new and probably uninteresting ideas for a few years - only to have the next generation continue the cycle and remake the old "original" ideas in "better" and "smarter" ways.. I call it -= The Hollywood Food-Chain =- Fortune favors the bald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blarghagh Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 They cancelled My Name is Earl when it had good ratings. They are the spawn of the devil, and must be beheaded. I was wondering why that was cancelled. I know plenty of people watched it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gfted1 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 (edited) Except for hamster-devouring-scene and shedding skin-scene, i cannot remember anything about V. I was maybe 5 or so when it premiered. I really hope that it will be "Aliens just want to enslave humanity"-series, since that was cool part about it, i think I cant remember much either but a few points that I do: 1) The V's were actually a genetically engineered slave race that escaped from the true bad guys. (or maybe that was their cover story) 2) Due to said engineering, they had two hearts to make them tougher. 3) Salt water was like sulfuric acid to them.

Pidesco Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Alien Nation was great fun and a great idea. I remember the aliens hearing sex between humans and thinking someone was in danger.

Slowtrain Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 How come alien female human/human thingies aren't fat with acne? Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.

Gfted1 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 The pilot episode was on last night and I thought it was pretty good. Decent CGI and actors although the plot "all your resources are belong to us" is kinda lame IMO. Im definately looking forward to seeing more.

Purkake Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 (edited) The pilot was pretty good and actually set everything up nicely unlike a number of other pilots. I didn't expect to like Juliet's character, but she's really good and most others are at least likable, except for the TV douche of course. I totally did not expect Alan Tudyk, too bad that he apparently died . Morena Baccarin is still cute as a button, even if short hair doesn't really fit her. I can totally see her pulling off the evil Diana thing. They pretty much jumped over their biggest hurdle by putting the Visitors reveal and the rebellion thing in the first episode instead of dragging it out. The TV interview intercut with the rebellion meeting was really well done. Looking forward to more. Edited November 4, 2009 by Purkake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gfted1 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I totally did not expect Alan Tudyk, too bad that he apparently died . Per the previews for uncoming episodes, hes not dead AND he kidnaps the son of his now ex-partner so he can show up at her door and blast her.
