Anybody heard about this show coming out in the states in the middle of the month.

Don't know about anybody else, but there seems to be a real vacuum for on TV lately for a really good sci-fi show, do you think it will deliver the goods?

just watching the pilot now on sky one.

has something of an x-files feel to it, but i can't see it lasting long. only because it seems limited to one town and american audiences are fickle like that.

otherwise i think it's a show that shows great promise.
great cast too.
greg germann, rob labelle and matt frewer (with a south african accent) to name but a few.

Nah if your gonna make a science fiction show, it has to have a reasonable premiss for breaking so much scientific common knowledge besides excessive special effects. Other wise your hard core nerd culture won't latch on to it.

Science rarely results in special effects in my experience.

The whole show makes no logical sense, it's just fanciful pap. The characters aren't orginal or interesting enough to warrent another season, but that said alot of similar shows have got one

Well the thing about it is, its a kinda Sci-Fi/Comedy/drama type thing. Its notr pure comedy and its not Drama. Its more light harted. Seen the first 3 eps there. Looks like it could be as Mordeth said. A bit of the braindead. Still better than surface or Invasion :rolleyes:

Ok, I think we're all in agreement then.
We're sceptically and cautiously expecting it to suck, but we'll go along for the ride until it makes us want to eat our remote controls as penance for watching it...

I keep missing the first hour of the pilot, its just being repeated endlessly on Sky One (usually a good sign that sky thinks it will be popular) but from what I've seen it does indeed look ok. Though, from what I've heard, the second episode sounds like it will break the proverbial sci-fi camel.

In fact, I'm not sure I liked the whole talk from the first episode

About creating tachiyon particles, which would destroy the laws of physics and thus bring the universe crashing down on itself. Now, I'm no quantum physicist but this just sounds like pure boulderdash.

Still, I await with child-like anticipation for some decent sci-fi series, this year...

Been keeping up with this show and it looks like one of thoose shows that if it's on you will watch it but would not bother planning ahead to view. A show like that can drag on for a long time, depends how expensive thier special effects are.

I actually have been following that show closely and I feel like it's a very original and lighthearted show. It is great to relax and doesn't take itself too seriously.
It also has really funny stories, something crazy always happens. I would recommend it, especially if you are into Sci-fi.

But that's my opinion.

I just interviewed Colin Ferguson on my show. We talked about the future of Eureka, Jo, the reason for the order of release of the shows and a whole lot more.

I hope you like the interview.

Just watched the season finale last night. I won't spoil it for people who haven't seen it, but it was a fun episode to end the season, with a nice 'WTF' twist towards the end to draw people into season 2.

Season 2 was greenlit this week, so it will be back next summer.
