Irregular Wednesdays will be a new feature here at your one stop shop for Sci Fi rants and information, welcome to todays edition,” Battlestar Galactica Razor”.
I know I have been down on this show since the Upfronts, and not without cause.
Folks, I am not asking you to turn off your TV sets or stop watching your favorite shows. If you live in NYC or Hollywood, show some support for some of the least well paid people in the industry.
Yes, we’re back. Sorry for the long delay but MAJOR PROPS to Kriana for moving us to a new hosting agent when our old one killed us off, without losing anything. Also, thanx and a tip of the hat to our friends across the pond, who were instrumental working with Kriana on the new interface. […]
Also, What if John Wu had directed The Bionic Woman Pilot. And a Rachael Ray Update
On my Thursday Sept 6 post, I was a schmuck. In a taste test between Good Luck Chuck, the absolute BOMB of a movie and Chuck the television series that anchors Monday night for NBC, I made a horrendous choice in hoping that the FABULOUS BODY of Jessica Alba would be able to save yat another Poseidon-esque Dane Cook vehicle. Who the hell ever though Dane Cook was funny, or likeable, or engaging, or had any talent whatsoever? Well, evidently not even the smile of an angel could make this donkey fly and it was in and out of theatres so fast, the popcorn faux butter barely had time to congeal.
Sure, for the past few years Sci Fi has enjoyed a Renaissance (goodness, I love them big wordies). Doctor Who, Heroes just to name a few but there have also been so big big budget shows that for the most part are …… no so good, and yet they keep annoying me by taking up valuable space on the schedule.
Monday night was a HOME-FREAKIN-RUN for NBC:
Chuck – B+
Heroes – SOLID A
Journeyman – B-
The reason Journeyman was the weakest was because I can see Chuck and Journeyman switching timeslots very very soon. It was one hell of a roller coaster ride night. Can’t say enough and hope this lineup lasts for a long time.
It’s here, finally. The new season is about to embark and I, for on and ready, more than ready, BORN READY ! LET THE GAMES BEGIN. RELEASE THE HOUNDS! OK, so I am just a bit excited. Well, tonight is a good one and I don’t even have to do anything but hide the remote, cuz everything is on NBC.
Ok, first the factuals. This is a book by Stephen Gould (not to be confused with Stephen J. Gould, and if you did confuse the two, give yourself 5 points on the IQ scale)
The buzz is it will be directed by Doug Linman (all together now, “Who?”) and stars Hayden Christiansen. A Regency/Fox Production with a budget of about 100 million, and no word on who the CGI team will be. Screenplay adapted by David S. Goyer (again,” WHO?”).
One of the smartest episodes EVER in the current incarnation of the good doctor ran last Friday, Blink. If you didn’t see in catch the rerun. If you did, don’t even try to tell me how amazing it was. I know, I know. .. To me, it seemed like another perfect spin off, but then again, what the heck do I know?
