Yay! :DD
Any idea when we'll get to see this?

surya74 August 12 2010, 15:09:37 UTC

Uh, I have no idea, sorry. Maybe this fall, if we're lucky? :)

More about the show here: http://io9.com/5330939/syfy-picks-up-superpowered-pilot-alphas Sounds like a "Heroes" ripoff...

I always thought Heroes had a great idea behind it, but it was terribly executed. I would love a good version of it, even though I doubt this will be any better.

From what I've just read in the press release http://eclipsemagazine.com/television/19493/ it sounds like "Heroes" meets "X-Files", so I'm cautiously optimistic. And the best thing is Callum obviously won't be playing a crazy serial killer! =D *wags imaginary tail*

Hahaha, it took me a second to get that one. But now I want to see (or read! ;D) it!

Anything on Syfy that doesn't involve wrestling, ghost-hunting or Stargate, I'll try it.

surya74 August 12 2010, 19:16:55 UTC

Hee. Here's hoping it's watchable and he has a recurring role.

bluebelle789 August 13 2010, 01:57:09 UTC

YAY. I am ALL FOR more Callum on tv. \o/

Any bets on his character staying alive? lol

surya74 August 13 2010, 10:06:38 UTC

ME TOO (which kinda goes without saying)! =D

The press release says he plays the contact of a Fox-Mulder-like investigator, so I'd estimate his chances for dying at 97,53%. /o\

*cuddles your icon*

I don't remember why but the show was already on my Maybe-I-should-watch-it-list. Too bad that it's just a guest role in the pilot - we gonna see him die another time most probably.

surya74 August 13 2010, 10:11:12 UTC

That's what I'm thinking. The press release says about his role: Callum Keith Rennie plays Don Wilson, a Washington bureaucrat, and Lee Rosen’s superior and contact inside the Pentagon. Remembering The X-Files, I'd say he'll be pretty soon pretty dead. :/

P.S. You got the last e-mail about our meet-up in October? :)

tyrella_2008 August 13 2010, 11:29:08 UTC

Course, I have. Sorry, my bad, will answer soon. The date for the meet-up is definetely in my schedule.
