    Warren Ellis just showed me a link to the future of Awesome. Because if this actually makes it into production... let's just say this needs some serious pre-production buzz.

    Flash Forward episode 10 actually aired already in Australia, so of course it's already all over the usual sites for people who are interested.

    It's pretty good... compared to the other FF episodes anyhow, but shit actually happens, and we get quite a few answers.

    So not to shabby overall.

    "(And am I the only person who spent the last episode waiting for a big lizard reveal, only to be thwarted? They even talked about skinning an alien just to tease us, the bastards)

    Seeing as how it was already revealed they were lizards, I wasn't disappointed.

    What I'm hoping for is that Anna is part of a mammoth warning plot where she has already turned against her whole race and wants to save earth, and that she'll reveal her real motives to the fifth column once the revealed BIG fleet is in range. I'm not holding my breath. It's probably going to be stupid.

    I'm not really intrigued by Alice. "NEW, MODERN, EDGY, OOOH!" if you want to be new, modern, and edgy, make something new, modern, and edgy.

    I really liked Tin Man but I am not so sure about Alice. On the other hand it was several actors I really enjoy watching.

    In reply to Why The World Needs A New Space: 1999
    Space: 1999 has not aged well at all. The science is insurmountably bad, the acting wooden and the premise hilarious. It had great sets, some good special effects and a half-decent spaceship design in the Eagle, but without the filter of childhood nostalgia it's simply not that great a show.

    Anderson's previous show, UFO, had a much stronger premise (later 'borrowed' for the X-COM computer games), much more interesting characters and was better-written, as well as being extremely morally ambivalent a long time before the likes of BLAKE'S 7 (which is also far more deserving of a reboot/remake) showed up. Interestingly it is now being remade as a movie, apparently starring Joshua Jackson. Interesting to see how that goes.

    Having a DVR means not having to choose between House and Heroes, assuming your DVR works. If you're a Time Warner subscriber... good luck. Fox HD has had a lot of mysterious DVR fails recently. I've had recording problems and my gf has had recording problems. Time Warner denies knowledge of any issues.

    @PlaidNinja: We missed an episode of FRINGE, we believe because the internet listings used by our TiVo indicated it was a rerun (which we don't record) instead of first-run. That's our working theory. Now we have to peer at the listings ourselves to pick it up in reruns.

    @Chip Overclock: On Saturday I created manual recordings for the Cleveland Show, Family Guy, and American Dad. I had a witness as well... one who chided me for recording American Dad, saying "IT SUUUUUUUUUUUCKS". In any case, I had nothing else recording on other channels at the same time. I came home and turned on the TV at 9:55 and checked the DVR, only to find that nothing recorded, and to add insult to injury, the guide channel showed American Dad with a REC icon that had a line through it. Time Warner had no idea of what could have happened.

    @Chip Overclock: Was that a few weeks ago? It wasn't because it was listed as a rerun, it was because it was listed as game 7 of the World Series. When the Series ended before game 7, your listings didn't get updated in time.

    @Evil Tortie's Mom: R.O.A.C.H.: Yeah, probably just a matter of timing. OTOH, El Gato Diablo has also been known to pull the Ethernet cable out of the back of our TiVo, which we discover when it complains that it can't download any updated listings. So I guess I'll have to check...

    Alice looks ridiculous. Tin Man was unfortunately unwatchable as well though, so I guess I should have expected that.

    The theme to SPACE1999 is still one of my favorite pieces of music, and the Eagle spacecraft they used still hold the title of most realistic looking spacecraft I've ever seen in a show. Love it, love it, love it!

    Would't it make more sense and be more exciting if it was Space 2099 or Space 2199 instead of Space 1999 The Reboot? Plus who wants to hear about Monicagate again or rehash Seinfeld jokes? I could care less who Dr. Russell finds spongeworthy.
