Re: Children of Dune
Looking back from today's perspective the 1984 DUNE is not that good from a technical standpoint but when it first came out it was a "ground breaker." I always did like the 1984 version and have an original four hour tape. I also have a tape and DVD for DUNE 2000. Wasn't...
Antony,
When I tried to log in I kept getting "incorrect password." The password I used was the same one I've used on this board since I joined. Finally got in by getting a temporary password. Suggestions?
True. There are very few shows with a real "arc" so I suspect the viewing public's attention span is short so they like "stand alone" or "mini-arc" eps with good CGI and lots of action over a well thought out story, also with good CGI and action, that builds over time.
Watching SG-1 last night got me wondering why shows like SG-1, Buffy and X-Files, consisting primarily of 'stand-alone' and 'mini-arc' episodes, go into Seasons Six, Seven and so on but shows with an 'arc' end after the arc is completed and spin-offs from an arc-based series rarely succeed? Any...

Makes me wonder how much is actual Roddenberry's and how much is additions by Majel? Not hard to take a few notes written about a possible plot, add one's own ideas and claim it came Roddenberry himself. Just call me, "The Skeptical Gangster."
Actually it was a typo, Recoil, so corrected it. At 71, the fingers get ahead of the brain so reverse letters sometimes. I am doing that more and more. They call it "Old Timer's Disease." <G>
Re: There\'s nothing left for me to watch
I'm afraid SF has gone downhill in the past few years, mainly I suspect because no one has put out a quality series. The Trek writers have run out new ideas so viewers turn it off more and more. When the producers/advertisers see this fall off, they...
Sadly, I've noticed a deciline in posts about B5 and B5 related shows like Crusade and Rangers over the past few months and it makes me wonder if the B5 Univrese is dying or, hopefully, just taking a nap? Scifi Channel's relegating B5 to the "filler" category doesn't help. Comments?
