BSG

No, the 8th of April.... It's you silly Americans writing the date in an illogical fashion!

I was never much of a Battlestar fan, but I loved Stargate!  Alas! We haven't had television service for about two years now, so I've seen none of the new episodes.  I wish SciFi would do something like what ABC does when it makes all of its shows available to watch on their website the day after they debut.  I have gone through horrible withdrawals.

I never saw the series, but enjoy the movie.  I would probably like the series for Stargate.

Did anyone here ever watch Quantum Leap?

Have you seen the remade BSG?  

[PastMember]

I've seen bits of the remade series, and it looked interesting, but I never did get around to actually checking it out.  

If it is still the same as it was two years ago, then Stargate should be on the Sci Fi channel on Fridays.  I'd take a look at gateworld.net if you're interested in it.  They have transcripts of almost every episode I believe.  

I loved Quantum Leap!  That series was what initially drew me into the science fiction genre, though I was about seven or eight when I first saw it

[Amanda N]

I used to watch it.  It's out on video now.  It's on my Amazon wish list, but no one has bought it for me.  I can't complain though. I at least have the first seasons of He-Man, She-Ra, Two of Gargoyles, the first of Smurfs, and the first of The Muppets.

For the new BSG, you really have to start from the beginning. I'm sure once the series is over they will have it on Scifi on a day to day bases, like X-files, and Sliders... I loved Sliders. Yummy Jerry O'Connell

I don't know why, but for some reason I never really got to see much of Sliders when it was on.  I remember one episode where they came back and saw the news article about OJ Simpson so they thought that they must be in the wrong place, so they slid again - but it was actually where they were trying to reach.  It seemed like a show I really would enjoy.

[emma]

I admit it, I have the first 3 series of Sliders on DVD. If Sci-fi here were to show it, I'd be using my DVD recorder to get the rest of it!  Although it did go downhill after the killed off Arturo.

I'm always well behind everyone else on these things. I just finished watching the Firefly series. If I continue with the current time lag, I'll probably start into BSG some time in 2010.

[Amanda N]

Hey Vix, we're about as behind as you are.  We didn't watch Firefly until last year ourselves.

[PastMember]

I've watched a few episodes of Sliders.  Did anyone watch that new Startrek series they tried to start?

I love Gargoyles. That was one of my favorite shows when I was younger. That and Batman

The last Star Trek show that I really got into was Voyager. But I think Deep Space Nine was the best.

Matt bought Firefly for Christmas two years ago and we watched it. I loved it because it was so different from all the other Scifi shows that I had seen, and it actually made a lot of sense with how they presented it. I mean, when we start going out into space, and inhabiting knew worlds it could very well be like exploring the new frontier all over again. I just loved the concept, and then of course there are the memorable quotes  

"She has a name too! I call her Vera"

"They have a special hell reserved for child molesters and people who talk in the movie theaters."

"I'll be in my bunk."

Unfortunately it was way ahead of its time, they did not air the episodes in order, and it started in the time slot where they put shows to die, so it only lasted fourteen episodes.

[Amanda N]

Firefly shouldn't have died.  They were stupid to handle it the way they did!
