Upcoming Sci-fi Series

[xfirefly9x]

Battlestar Galactica is over, now what?

Maybe Caprica? Stargate Universe? Warehouse 13? Dollhouse?

The above link begins with a nod to BSG and then introduces upcoming shows, with promo vids (for all but Dollhouse). Personally I can't wait to see SG:U and Warehouse 13!! :D

The current fox8 add for new 2009 shows has a tiny clip from Dollhouse - which I want to watch when it starts - also Greek too! :)

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Oh true. That's shiny! (The first few eps of Dollhouse aren't the best ever. They're good, not Joss level good though. Network intervention. Give it til episode 6 when Joss gets full control before you judge it too much. I made the mistake of having quite high expectations and until ep 6 was a little disappointed. Though hey. Still awesome. I'd definitely recommend it.)

Greek? Another show, I guess?

Despite my disappointments with Stargate Atlantis (by season five I think everyone kinda realized it was circling the drain) I mean, no one even really fought for that show to continue... I do wanna watch Stargate Universe. I just hope they don't completely mess it up! I really don't want to get invested in another show that's only gonna upset me later, but SG-1 ended okay (even if Jack and Sam never really did get together) so I'm willing to give it a chance! :D

Haven't watched Dollhouse. Was going to, but so many people were saying it wasn't any good that I decided not to. Maybe I'll give it a try and see. :shrugs:

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Same thing for me with SGA/SGU. I really hope it doesn't disappoint and make the same (or hell, even different) mistakes as SGA. Looks quite good from teh trailer..

*points to comment further up re Dollhouse* I'd recommend watching. I'd also recommend not judging it by the first 5 episodes. Ep 6 is where Joss got full control and no network interference. ;)

Warehouse 13 looks like Friday the 13th: The Series.

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Oh? I haven't heard of that one.

[andieshep.livejournal.com]

Yeah, SGU does look awesome, and I like the cast. I know I'll have to watch, at least give it a chance. We'll see how it goes. If I see it starting to go downhill though I'm done with Stargate. I was really pissed off with how they handled some things in SGA!

I'll probably end up watching Dollhouse. I can handle 5 episodes before the good stuff. *g*

[silent-snark.livejournal.com]

It's an older series (no idea if it's available on DVD or not). TBH, it wasn't very good, lol. In it, a team is responsible for collecting cursed items from around the world and safely storing them where they can do no further harm.

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

True, yeah..

Heh, shiny. I'm not saying the first 5 eps aren't good - they are - they just aren't up to the Joss standard. So it's more like 5 good but not OMG!awesome!eps and then Joss!is!win stuff. The promo for ep 7 looks wayyy awesome also. *can't wait* :D

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Hmm.. sounds interesting enough. Though if that series wasn't very good, I hope Warehouse 13 doesn't go for the same thing.. *ponders*

[andieshep.livejournal.com]

Oh cool! Well that's even better! :D Must find a way to catch up! Maybe I'll just start watching and catch up on the eps I missed later... would it be hard to understand the story if I just started now? I know some eps are on Hulu....

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

:) Yep! The order you watch is really up to you. I'd personally watch from ep 1..

[andieshep.livejournal.com]

I'm sure I could probably get it off itunes... maybe I'll watch the first ep that way and take things from there. I hate to start watching a show with no idea what's going on, even if I've only missed a few episodes....

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

If not, send me an email and I'll find links for downloads for you. :)

[andieshep.livejournal.com]

Awww thanks! *hugs* :D I'll let you know!

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Okay. :)

[sparkly-sparky.livejournal.com]

hmm im kinda worried bout SGU, but im gonna give it a chance and not expect too much. its stargate, and i usually love all stargate. plus i love lou diamond phillops.

[datnetie.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm not into BSG, so I don't think I will start watching Caprica ^^ Even though I liked the trailer... Hmm, maybe I watch the pilot...

Because of my Stargate!love I will give SGU a try. I just hope they can pull it off. I mean the trailer doesn't give away much, but it still looks nice. One thing I've already assessed, I'm not really convinced with the cast. Maybe I have to wait for the pilot and see them in action to be convinced.

And I think W13 is also worth watching the pilot... At least the trailer wasn't that bad ^^

[dierevolution.livejournal.com]

Waaaah? Stagate Universe? Whats this?????

Also, I don't think Dollhouse has started yet - but I'll keep that in mind when it does.

Yeah Greek - about a nerdy guy, a whole bunch or sororities, his sister - you know college life - it's funny as - well worth a watch.

As for SGA being crap - I knew that ages ago...lol. No offence intended :P

I'm watching those promo vids now.... :)

[dierevolution.livejournal.com]

Ok, I just watched the promo for Stargate Universe, and it looks way to much like an end of the world type thing I think...I'll give it a try, but I think it will join the pile of bad take offs with SGA.

I can only get a couple of second of Warehouse 13 to load....but its already looking freaking awesome! :)

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

*points to link*

Okay.

Ah, fair enough..

*pout* Yeah, it wasn't the best show ever.

:)

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Hmm.. well you can't really judge the whole show from one or two minutes, can you? *shrug* I'm gonna give it a try too and hope that it works out. Think there'll be a lot of cautious watchers of SGU to begin with.

Ahh, I got the whole W13 to load. Has a bit of an XF vibe to it, but at the same time, not really. Also has a guy who guest starred in Bones. Awesome stuff. I think I'll be adding it to my fandoms if it turns out as good as I suspect.. :)

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

I'm a bit worried about it also but I'm thinking maybe, just maybe, the writers/etc have learned from what went wrong on SGA and gone about the show differently in a way that actually works and doesn't involve killing off main characters whenever they get bored. I'm definitely giving it a chance, but if it falls through, yeah... *shrugs* We'll see. I'm cautiously hopeful.

[dierevolution.livejournal.com]

I think I'll watch both, and give them both a try :)

Hey come online so I can talk to you :P

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure about Caprica either yet, just going to by the description there. I'll try it, but whether I get seriously into it or not is another matter.

Yep yep. True. As I said to someone else I'm cautiously hopeful about it. Am hoping the writers have learned from their mistakes on SGA and go about it differently enough to not screw it up. The cast, yeah. I've tried not to worry about it too much. I wasn't sure about the cast of Dollhouse to begin with but now I quite like all of them. Wait and see is my plan. *shrug* Will be interesting to see what everyone thinks after ep 1.

Heh, awesome! Yeah, I'm most hopeful about that one. Looks pretty cool. Though again, always cautious getting into new shows without knowing there's a huge following for them already. Never know how good they'll be/if they're gonna get cancelled..

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

:) Sounds good!

I would but I've had enough distractions from my uni assignment already. Really need to get at the very least a draft done for it today. It's due Tuesday and all I've done so far is photocopy a few possibly useful notes at the library and watched the film I have to base it off. And yeah, not a fun film. It's from 1958. Bleh.

[dierevolution.livejournal.com]

Well dont you just fail...lol...j/k.

Whats the film? Isn't this the one where you were doing 1984?

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Gee, thanks. :P

It's 'Touch Of Evil'. I ended up going with it since they had a copy going quite cheap at one of the online stores I buy at. Couldn't find the other.

[dierevolution.livejournal.com]

Ooooh I see, well good luck with your assignment darl :)

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Thanks. At this point I'll need it. OpenOffice keeps crashing on me. *headdesk*

[kuroima.livejournal.com]

I'm not so thrilled by SGU yet but we'll see maybe it'll turn out good. But I'm willing to give that show a chance.

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Yep yep. I know what you mean. I'm not overly excited about it yet, but who knows.. Will be interesting to see what it's like.

[force-oblique.livejournal.com]

Whats Warehouse 13?
Sounds so amazing...
Hehe I am already hyped for Caprica! <3

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Warehouse 13. The promo on that link is pure win! XD
Guy from Bones looks to be in it, yey. Has a very X Files-y vibe to it as well which is never a bad thing.
I on the other hand am not sure about Caprica. Sounds like it could be good, but... yep. Cautious about getting too excited.

[force-oblique.livejournal.com]

Oh sounds interesting.. I'd watch this!

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Yep, me too. I'm looking forward to the pilot ep. :)
(Though I hope by then some of my other series have finished for the season so I don't get overloaded with shows to download!)

[datnetie.livejournal.com]

Just d/l Caprica ^^ Depending on the weather I might give it a try this weekend :) In that case I also might be posting a review...

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Okay shiny :)
