    In reply to Spoiler Filled Stills From Iron Man 2: What's Happening To Tony?
    I'm guessing the veins are either part of a dream sequence where Tony is freaking out about the Man/Machine identity, or nanobots in the bloodstream.

    I keep hearing from people that Heroes is not exactly that terrible this season. I'm not sure who to believe, as I can see how the staff has been scarred by the previous badness.

    @Lassus: It's not as bad as last season, but it's still bad. I don't know why, but I've watched every episode. I guess so I can feel better when it ends.

    Stargate SG-1 was clearly worse than most of these. And it gets extra awfulness points for lasting as long as it did, and spawning increasingly irrelevant spin-offs.

    I know that someone will flame me for this opinion. However, the stilted dialogue, totally silly aliens and wooden acting put SG-1 in my list of most shameful SF series.

    @OlavRokne: Which season did you watch? I'm a huge fan of the first five but after it got moved to the Sci-Fi channel the quality dropped a bit. I can understand disliking seasons 9 and 10.

    Wow. I actually thought I was alone in this, and was worried about coming out about my dislike of SG-1.

    Thank you!

    Enterprise? *ducks*

    Don't get me wrong, I love Trek, but I couldn't stick with this one. I remember being happy about my choice later on when I heard a radio ad for it that made it sound like they'd recycled a Dark Angel plot for an ep.

    Not that I watched Dark Angel, but I do seem to hear a lot of radio ads.

    The one thing that Birds of Prey had going for it was that Dina Meyer was, to me, physically spot-on for Oracle.

    Also, the Huntress? Kinda easy on the eyes, and that didn't hurt.

    But yeah, the show never really got off the ground, and hotness only goes so far.

    @Wookie1972: Haha, that cracked me up because I totally get what you mean. Mutant X had a totally rockin' theme song too, a choice blend of classical orchestration + pulse-pounding electronics, with the same drum loop as a remix of Rob Zombie's "Dragula".

    Anyone else remember Freakylinks? I just recall it being a poor wannabe of the X-Files.

    @EdificeComplex: Gotta disagree. Freakylinks wasn't brilliant, but had a nice mix of characters and great subversive twists on many well-worn urban myths.

    @MonkeyT: The show never hit the mark for me. It seemed like it was trying too hard to capitalize on the success of the Blair Witch Project. Granted, it aired during the middle of my college years so I never really watched episodes on a consistent basis. If it ever hits DVD I may have to give it a second chance.

    @EdificeComplex: The Chiller cable network is re-running it frequently (all eight-or-so episodes). When you watch it, think less of X-Files and more of Kolchak, The Night Stalker. This is more of a live action Scooby Doo style show without the talking dog.

    Just watched it last night.

    Didn't laugh once, and I loved Blue Harvest.

    "Blue Harvest" amazed me not just because of the detail in the animation (which had to have been a labor of love) but because they used the original John Williams score, and used it so well. Sounds like this one is also going to as well. I'm embarrassed to admit I had forgotten how great the score was until I saw "Blue Harvest".

    BTW, Mrs. Overclock (etc.) and I saw the "Star Wars Orchestra" perform selections from all the movies live when they played in Denver. We've heard the CSO perform some of it as well during their John Williams concert (conducted by one of his arrangers). Hearing motion picture scores -- particularly full orchestral scores like Williams -- performed live is an experience I recommend.

    I have this on order when it hits the shelves in the UK. The first one (Blue Harvest) was fantastic. I was also supprised on how cool George Lucas was in the DVD extra's interview.

    He doesnt mind people taking the piss out of Star Wars as long as its not too bad. And the way he goes on about new talent and new directors getting a chance to shine and how its not cool to go around sueing everyone for everything!! Nice guy! Kudos to Lucas.

    I hear they are making all 6 films. Or at least thats what the comentary on Blue Harvest points too.

    Fingers crossed.
