Reply to: Something good on TV at last

Are we talking Bonekickers bad here, or even worse than that?

Demons puts Bonekickers in Shakespeare territory...

Well you can always watch 'Demons' on ITV on Saturday. Although I thought it was so bad I'd rather stab myself in the face than sit through another episode...

I loved Buffy & Angel but was hugely disappointed when I saw Serenity, I didn't rate it at all.

I would imagine you really need to watch the TV series to appreciate the film, it assumes you know who everyone is since it was basically made for the fans after Whedon had a big strop with Fox. The series has far more humour as well.

Oooh Dark Skies, I'd forgotten about that, I used to love it.
But none of these is a patch on Bab 5.
Although DW is still the best (and longest running) Sci fi series

I don't think they showed all the episodes in the States.

Did they show them all over here? They are included on the DVD box set I think.

And that weird Odyssey Five thing was ok.

Blimey, I remember that - I stuck with it for a while but then Sky/SciFi seemed to muck around with the schedule and moved it.

Dark Skies had the advantage of Jerry Ryan too... (before the catsuit).

That was a good series too.

I see you're getting the points...

I quite enjoyed the mutual decontamination scenes between T'Pol and Hoshi in the latest "Enterprise" incarnation of the franchise Sci-Fi at its very best...

Firefly is the vehicle Thunderbirds used to fight fires. Normally lived in TB2 Pod 4.



....I am so very sad

And so very wrong! TB4 lived in pod 4 and was the only one whose number was fixed! ISTR that most of the other vehicles such as Firefly, The Mole and those little tractors that saved Fireflash came out of various other pods with different numbers.

Jewel Staite - she's also in the current season of Stargate Atlantis.

So Wikipedia told me, my wife is a fan of that show so maybe I shall by her the DVDs as a gift Wikipedia also told me we're the same age, unfortunately she has a much cooler name than me.

... just like Space: Above and Beyond (from the 90s).

That was a great series too, cancelled in its prime and left on a real cliffhanger I recall. I was quite fond of Kristen "The Lips" Cloke (she played "Vansen") at the time

Am I the only one who thinks the engineer in Firefly is hot? A bit unconventionally so, albeit.

A mate of mine has a real thing for Jewel Staite - she's also in the current season of Stargate Atlantis.

Complete series for £12.99 on play.com, not seen it myself but I'm willing to give it a go at that price, TV tends to take a dive this time of year.

If you like Sci-Fi and/or anything else by Joss Whedon (i.e. Buffy) it's worth a punt, except if you like it you'll be pissed when it ends and you know it's cancelled... just like Space: Above and Beyond (from the 90s).

I loved the series, but was always a little disapointed by the film. But still worth watching.

Joss Whedon Yay

Firefly / Serenity is basically a space opera with a Wild West theme.

The film of the same series 'Serenity' was actually quite good, I didn't like the series though.
