I finally saw it. Loved it. I think it will breathe new life into the franchise. I like the reimagining. Love the casting choices. I'm especially in love with ZQ as Spock. I thought he by far outshined everyone else in performance, presence and what I come to expect from Spock (reimagined...

Thanks Galahad. You rock. I remember that now (vaguely.) Very archetypal--killing the patriarchal figure. Yet, was it ever explained how Locke's father knew "the others?" Or was he brought to the island strictly for the purpose of Locke's initiation/proving of oneself?

Kate really has become the "fly in my soup" in this show. Every time I see her, I just want the slap her. I think we all know that Sawyer and Juliet are not going to get off the island. I get that, but seeing her climb down into the submarine made me want to throw something at the television...

Well, true about most of the battles. There are a few that take place that are pretty damn intense (i.e. Kings Landing and Tyrion defending one entrance of the wall / the ship battles, etc.) There is also the battle that Tyrion fights against Robb's army in book 1, I believe, where he has his...

Well, I know HBO has signed up for the first year. I just hope they stick with it. I know they're counting on the LOTR type audiences, though Martin's work is hardly as much a "household name" as LOTR. And yeah, the red wedding. (shudder) They would probably need a bigger budget as the...

Bumping due to latest news: http://grrm.livejournal.com/86651.html From his blog... Image of Peter Dinklage... Dinklage was on a LOT of fan "wish lists" to play the role of Tyrion. Awesome choice. The director, however, seems more actor-experienced than director. Have not seen The...

I have to agree with peeps calling some of these shows out (the ones that are not science fiction.) Have to ask what the D&D peeps are smokin' these days.

Dr Who as a babe? WTF?

Looks like Mal is winning so far (best captain.) woo!

And ME! YES! I'm still freaking out. Not my best picture, but who cares? It's Admiral Adama, yo! My husband and I went to a local event here in Fort Collins to see Edward James Olmos. There were about 600 people there. There wasn't a lot of advertising and we found the small notice in a...

Aww, cmon Hyp! You gotta see Harry Potter! You can't watch that on a wee lil' screen. BOOM! Explosions! Spells! (nudges you) P.S. I rarely see movies in the theater now, but I definitely will make an exception for HP. :)

Latest Harry Potter (Half Blood Prince) Trailer. I'm sure it's already been viewed by most of you, but I'm gonna post it anyway. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96QRVfto7OM Also HD Apple/Quicktime link: http://www.apple.com/trailers/wb/harrypotterandthehalfbloodprince/ I'm such a fangirl...

Hmm, well it doesn't rely on its genre, if that makes sense. They're laying groundwork for something bigger. I wouldn't call it "sci-fi lite" so much as it gives attention to characters and relationships. The only thing that felt "soap-opera-ish" to me was one fight between a mom and daughter...

Well, my husband and I bought the DVD and watched it tonight. Honestly? I think they have another good show here. We both really enjoyed it. I liked the look, the feel. Esai Morales as Joseph Adama was an excellent choice. The acting all around was good, though at some points felt a tiny...

Reviving this for a quickie. I had the pleasure of meeting (and taking a picture!) with Katee Sackhoff this week-end at Starcon. During her Q&A session, she talked quite a bit about Starbuck and Galactica. A few things I wanted to mention here: 1. She didn't feel that the way Kara's end...

Old Galactica was too much of a Star Wars / space anthem ripoff, imho.

Ya know, I think it's called something different for each city. For us, it's Starcon. BTW, here are other pics that I took while there if anyone is interested: http://www.stephanietrain.com/starcon2009/ you could try here to see...

What if we were talking about movies? What would be on your top 5/top 10 list (however many you want to add?) For me (in no particular order.) Star Wars (it's unforgettable.) Sunshine (the music was awesome!) 2001 Serenity The Matrix ET

My thoughts exactly, with the exception of Galactica (liked season 1 intro better, btw.) I do enjoy the X-Files theme because it's catchy. I'd love to see B5 in there, but which season? Season 5 is distinctly different (though that is my favorite, truth be told.)

Yeah, I'm pleased as punch with Lost lately. It's taken that leap from "ok, maybe we're a fantasy/supernatural/sci-show and maybe we're not" to "heck yeah, time travel, Egyptian demi-gods and ghosts!" I like!
