My TV Musings

The first of the Stargate: SG1 movies has finally arrived! The dvd and downloads are available now! There will be a second movie Stargate: Continuum coming soon and there are plans to continue, possibly at a rate of one per year.

Stargate: Atlantis recently ended its 4th season and production has begun on its 5th! In the meantime, the SciFi Channel is picking up a 13-episode 1st season of Sanctuary, the world’s first hi-def internet series moving to television!  Click here for my take on the early episodes of this cool, dark drama!

This episode of Eli Stone got me thinking about several new network scifi shows and what makes them interesting to watch.
Eli Stone, John Amsterdam (New Amsterdam), and Dan Vassar (Journeyman) have something in common: incidents that occur beyond their control that force them to examine their lives and how to make them meaningful.

It’s looking like John and Sarah are going to try to keep “Uncle Derek” alive so they can have some family around to help out, but they don’t plan to tell Derek that he’s John’s uncle. I’m surprised that word never got out that Kyle Reese was John’s father. I mean, this is [...]

Jessi seemed to be going in the right direction. She apologized to Lori for beating her up at a time in the past when Jessi was just trying to get herself under control and fighting the evil programming she had forced on her. She tried to help out with the plan to get [...]

This well-oiled series keeps on coming!  So fast I can’t keep up: I’m recording Torchwood season 2 before I’ve even had time to watch Season 1!
Can’t wait to see all the swapped out companions the good Doctor will have, maybe Rose Tyler will even show up!

Have you noticed that Terminator:The Sarah Connor Chronicles and Kyle XY have something in common? I find that Jessi and Cameron share similar traits. Though Jessi is far from being Kyle’s protector, she tries hard to fit into school along with all the other angsty teens, while Cameron doesn’t know how to lie [...]
