I am going to put it on the TV at my office and use it as background noise. I watched the original this past Sunday on SyFy. It is a decent story.

There is a lot of discussion about political allegory with this series, eg "Aliens come to deliver hope and change" blah blah. But we must remember, this show came out in the 80s when Reagan was president.

What do you think?

I watched it when I was young. I think this is yet another example of writers focusing on bringing back the past rather than thinking of new ideas.

I try not to compare shows to current events, I do note the hope/change/peace angle but aside from that its a pretty decent series. I am hype about the new series.

This fall is going to be pretty good for SCI FI.

Fringe
Heros
V
SGU

Perhaps Heros inst pure scifi but I think it straddles the line just fine. And if they can put wrestling on syfy then heros fits as well.

*puts on firesuit*

well, considering that the original series was not all that to begin with, I do not have high hopes for the remake.

*yawn*

Let me know when Dollhouse is back on.

Chem . . . you forgot a show

agreed

amy acker needs to come back. she is a slammin' hottie.

QFT

Doc is smokin'. You know what else was hot? The "student" costume two episodes ago.

I think they made Echo a flaming militant liberal vegan animal rights tw@tface specifically so that I had to hate her on principle.


November/Melanie/Madeline is the best character. There are three flowers in a vase... B)

no, amy ackers story line at the beginning of this season was the best story line in the whole show. titillating and fascinating, a good combination.

hell, every women on that show is super hot. yeah, even Dewitt (who is played by the youngest cast member BTW), i would certainly hit that.

I caught the first episode. It was pretty good.

Morena Baccarin is even hotter as Anna than she was as Inara, IMO.

Morena Baccarin is Class-A hotness, but the short hair kills it. Turns her from a 10 to a 6. Hate short hair. Worst thing a woman can have.

I was about to say "Worse than a penis?"...but then I realized who I was talking to.

Then she wouldn't be a woman, would she?

Murf, let's not start this again. You're wrong about short hair. Just accept it.

You just still don't get it. :P

Good


Bad


HORRIBLE


Hair is like boobs; none is bad...too much is worse...the happy medium is just right.



Just depends on what you consider "short". To me, shoulder-length is definitely not "short".

Worthless, Murf.

You'd have to show the same woman with three different hairstyles.

And TM is right, as usual.

/ Just noticed: Murf and Beef share the same opinion?!

Not according to Ted.

*points at third line of sig*

I...I think Murf and I agree on something not paintball related...Those hair pictures and descriptors were dead-on.

You guys go ahead and be picky, I ain't kick'n any of them out for bed for eating cookies.... or my gf for that matter.

as long as there is enough to hold when bangin' em i dont really care.

and that goes for boobs and hair.

Eating your girlfriend? :huh: :unsure: :lol:

i just watched the first episode

i like it... not sure others will though ... kind of like invasion that was on a few years ago

okay - I watched the first 2 episodes tonight. I liked it, it was better than I expected.

I am more interested in AMC's new 'the prisoner' series, since I am a big fan of the original series. hopefully it will not disappoint

Anybody know of where to find the second episode online?

hulu.com

Not at hulu until the 14th

Are they still lizards in flesh? Eating guinea pigs and other rodents?

Yes, though they have not yet showed them chowing down.

Dang, I cant believe I missed the launch of the series.

After the first two weeks, I am really enjoying it...though the political overtones are pretty freaky*.

Is this going to be based on that old Twilight Zone episode where the alien writings the humans interpreted to include "to serve humanity" (which made them think the aliens were friendly) turned out to be a cookbook?


*Speaking of political overtones, I was watching SVU with the wife the other night. When they first showed the bad guy, I thought "Hey, he looks kind of like Obama." Later in the episode one of the detectives said, about the bad guy, "He's a narcisist who gets off on the love of young people and the dependence of their parents." Yeah...I had to laugh at that one. So obvious...

*applauds the writers and the casting director*

did you ever watch the original V miniseries?

survey sez - not likely!

:lol:

Before my time, old man. :P

Thems fighin words you young wipper snapper...... (of)

So in the series the enemy of the visitors is called. Do they ever come? I never saw it in the series.
