New TV season in UK

Jan 25, 2007 15:08

Due to the way the American schedules work it often means that in the UK genre series often have two start times , early/mid September and then early January the programs generally run the without a break. Although in recent years Christmas has seemed to force an American style hiatus. Very annoying with regards to lost which I am going off due to ( Read more... )

I haven't seen any of this, but I will say I LOVE SG-1 (admittedly I haven't seen any of the non-Jack stuff who, Faith apart, is my fav tv char ever). Also very impressed with BSG 1 & 2, far better than the original.

Atlantis, don't like. Gave up a few eps into series one, great set but that was it.

Your thoughts on The 4400?

Sorry hope I didn't spoil you. Tried to talk mainly about my views rather than the content of each EP ( ... )

I actually like SG-1 better than anything Joss has done, the heroic chars are far more likable (no Spikes or Buffys), the friends seem to be genuinely friends, you don't have the fubars like the Mass Calling that suggest Joss doesn't think much of the viewers' intelligence, and the villians (Angelus and the Mayor apart) more intimidating.

For me it's Bab 5, SG-1, Angel, Tru Calling, Quantum Leap, and BSG in that order. Hon mentions for American Gothic and The 4400.

Nah, I love The 4400, the coupling of the two leads work well, it's an interesting premise, I like it a lot.

Agree with you on Ultra-Violet though.

On Joss I think now that the shows really missed Greenwalt who kept the earlier continuity tighter.

Well also a fan of B5 although I cringe at the get the hell out of my galaxy line. Thought that was a crap ending to the shadow war.

Thought tru calling was showing promise in S2 . The premise suffered in S1.

On the others sorry just not for me. The only recent thing that has hooked me has been Lost again for the characters. My jury is waiting on Jericho and Heroes.

I recently rewatched Logans run from the 70's which needless to say was much shorter than my childhood recollection. Thought it went on forever not 14 Eps. Thought it had aged pretty well once you looked past the SFX.

Mind you I am still a great fan of the Day of the Triffids and Blakes 7.
