Eureka!
« on: 28 Jul 2006, 01:00 »
Anyone seen it?  I watched the pilot and the first episode or two.  So far, I like it.  The characters seem pretty stock, but likeable (even the A-hole doctor) and of course, I <3 sci-fi.  I have a good feeling about the show and pray it is not another Lexx.

Wasn't my cup o'tea sadly.  Aside from the oversexual female and the clueless guy, maybe I was just too into Farscape to really appreciate it.  Then again, I watched a few eps early on, wasn't interested and never went back.  Did I miss something?


ALTHOUGH HOW ABOUT THAT EUREKA HUH?


Also, why are most of sci-fi's original shows good, but the movies shite (I didn't like Dragon Lord, that take on the Ring of the Niebelungs either even if it DID have Kristanna "I did Mortal Kombat: Konquest!" Loken in it.

Lexx was one of the funniest sci-fi shows I've ever seen. No, it was no Farscape or I-Man or BSG. But it was a lot of fun.

That's the reason I was wary. I missed the pilot, but I'm sure it will be on again one of these days.

You can watch on the sci-fi channel website...

Eureka ftw, I was waiting for it since last December and it was exactally what I hoped it would be, and more. It ir proof that the sci-fi channel is starting to get away from the bad movies and getting into the good shows/mini-series.

Best Sci-Fi channel movie? Boa vs. Python. Why? David Hewlett, thats why.

Boa vs. Python liek omg.  By far Farscape is still above and beyond my fave thing to come out of Sci-Fi, but Eureka's getting there.  I <3 real genius because it displays smart kids how it did, but now Eureka's doing the same thing for smart people.  Even better is how they made the first few eps interlink so well.


THe writing's just been so natural to me, and the house is hilarious.  "I'm sorry.  It'll never happen again."

The quality difference is intentional, sci-fi dumps a lot of money into the shows, and hires good writers and talent.

The movies are meant to be campy, and to run on nights when no one is going to be home or as filler.

On last night's ep...



Geez.... awesome performance from Tamlyn "I was in the Karate Kid Pt. II!" Tomita.  And Jack Carter's getting more and more likeable with each show, muddling this way through all the technobabble.

Best. Shakespeare. EVAR.

Sci-Fi makes their Sci-Fi Original Movies so they can make their Sci-Fi Original Series.

Thos emovies cost so little to make that the return they get is way more than enought o keep the channel afloat. They know this and it's all intentional, because if they tried harder, they'd start losing money.

I haven't watched the last few episodes, but I really do dig this series. The first episode was fun, clever in that campy B-movie way. I really have to catch the newer ones, but hey, when's it air? I can't seem to access the Scifi schedule.
