@LiC: But that nice purple hyperlink saying STARGATE UNIVERSE that's sticking out like a sore thumb in the middle of the last paragraph isn't clear enough? ;) #theprisoner
I'm excited for the new Prisoner, even though it does seem to suffer a serious dearth of multi-colored capes and pennyfarthing bicycles. Also, snappy blazers. #theprisoner
Don't forget that Sunday is also the UK premiere of the new Doctor Who special "Waters of Mars."
If you'd asked me 10 years ago whether my two favorite UK shows would be back on the air on the same night, I'd have laughed in your face. #theprisoner
There's also a little show called "Legend of the Seeker" on over the weekend (times vary, being syndicated and all.) It's based on the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind. Season 2 just started last weekend.
While I wouldn't call the adaptation "faithful" (the plots vary widely, even though the characters are basically the same), lovers of the books should like the show... and if you find yourself liking the show, it's worth reading the books.
So far, writing and production quality have been on a par with the late Xena and Hercules series'. #theprisoner
@TomXP411: So I really liked the book series, but I absolutely hated the tv series. I just can't watch it. I've tried and it makes me angry.
To be fair, I knew they weren't going to exactly remake the book into a tv series considering how dark it can be, but I don't know what they writers were smoking. #theprisoner
@GodofMonkeys: I wanna give a shout-out to "Titan Maximum", which is much dumber than VB, but is amusing in a dumb-ass way. Takes no thinking. #theprisoner
