BSG Fans, another FRAKING series knocked on the head
-
I agree Scifi shows like the above for some reason are lacking, is it a lack of viewers or because of some idiots out there wanting more "reality" based shows?
The last great Scifi's I saw was Stargate -Universe, Star Trek -Enterprise, BSG - Razor and Firefly. I normally wait for them to get to Netflix and watch them all at the same time, I cannot wait a week for the next episode.
As for Falling skies, I watched about 4 episodes and got kinda bored with it, still prefer 'The walking dead'.

This is a cool project. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/58936338/space-command

I recommend checking out "revolution" a new series which looks promising, but hey I taught "tera Nova" was promising too but what a fraking disaster that was, falling skies was a good concept but I believe it lacks the umph BSG had and it's going to be very hard to beat, I'm looking forward to seen blood and chrome even thu it's only a movie instead of a series.
-
Yeah, I saw the ads for Revolution, I guess it looks interesting lets hope it does not go Terra Nova on us.
Seen Prometheus yet? I saw it and actually liked it, the ending however seemed a little strange and not needed as the movie could have stood on it's own without linking it to Alien.
-
@Solo yeah seen Prometheus, I taught it was average, a lot of unanswered questions tho, and indeed it was a very strange ending, I could never understand the opening scene either, with the alien on the top of the waterfall, it baffles me what he does, and the big question at the end, why did they plan on doing what they were doing, don't want to be spoiling it for others but it was worth the watch, excellent in 3D

It seems scifi games last better than series these days, for example, mass effect, dead space, deux ex revelution and the list goes on, great sci fi games, and the stories so unpredictable, if these games were made as a tv series they proberly take the plunge too, even tho some games where considered for the big screen, like Halo, great game but a movie would just destroy its repertation for sure, scifi games are the alternative to scifi series, and these games do engross you into great stories like BSG, I was a huge fan of Mass Effect, a game which was designed to be a trilogy before they started making it, if this were a series well it would of blowing us out of the water, to think it ends after the 3rd game seems a waste of a sci fi world, I'd like to see it develop more with spin offs or something, this game was also considered to be a movie but a movie can't tell the story like this game did and give the views the same satisfaction a gamer got from the trilogy, I think Marian's link to kickstarter project of space command is the future of sci fi shows and movies since it's suits who don't know anything about sci fi who cancel these shows in the first place for the syfy channel.
-
I knew about Revolution, but it's not really the same sort of sci-fi. It does look promising though - a mix of Firefly and Jericho.
With Fringe about to end it might have a chance of getting more than one season (it seems like there is a rule in TV land that you can only have one long running J. J. Abrams show on at any one time).
-
There is a good example, I heard that the second season for Jericho was cancelled and a huge protest followed where the fans sent peanuts to the producers, tones of peanuts, why peanuts? Don't ask me but the protest sparked something and the second season went ahead, ha what do we send the syfy channel to give blood and chrome the go ahead, maybe send them fraking moron bars,
-
I thought that they sent peanuts because it was 'nuts' to cancel the show. Weirdly I actually meant to mention Jeremiah, not Jericho.
As for SYFY the US channel apparently shows more wrestling than sci-fi, so maybe used jock straps? Otherwise car air fresheners?........because cancelling the series stinks?

have you not seen the StreetFighter movie with Jean Claude Van Damme and Kylie Minogue? Probably the greatest game to big screen adaption ever made.
