by @ Wednesday, October 20th, 2004. Filed under Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Television

SciFi has announed excellent ratings for Peacekeeper Wars.
Hopefully that’ll mean more Farscape in the future.

Farscape

by @ Monday, October 18th, 2004. Filed under Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Television

Just finished watching Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars. It was amazing! The only regret I have is that we didn’t get to see everything that happened in those 4 hours happen over the course of an entire season instead.
The whole thing was very well done. There were a few points here and there [...]

PeaceKeeper Wars Trailer

by @ Wednesday, August 25th, 2004. Filed under Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Television

Apple now has up a trailer for Farscape: The PeaceKeeper Wars. Watch and enjoy.
Kate and I really need to get caught up on all the Farscape that we have sitting on the TiVo.

TiVo #3

by @ Monday, August 16th, 2004. Filed under Television

We got DirecTiVo number 3 up and running today. They are only $80 now, and we decided to get a “spare” in case our primary one ever gives up the ghost.
We actually bought it yesterday, but we got it home and the second tuner didn’t work, so after work today, I ran it back [...]

Tru Calling Official

by @ Thursday, May 20th, 2004. Filed under Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Television

The Futon Critic is reporting the official
renewal announcment of Tru in Fox’s Upfront presentation today.

Tru Calling

by @ Wednesday, May 19th, 2004. Filed under Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Television

It’s not official yet, but it’s being reported that Tru Calling has been picked up for next season.
It’s a great show and I was afraid that it wasn’t going to make it, given FOX’s record with good Sci-Fi lately. John Doe was another great show with so so ratings, and it got snipped [...]

Farscape: Peacekeeper War

by @ Monday, April 5th, 2004. Filed under Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Television

The Sci-Fi Channel has confirmed that it will be airing a Farscape mini-series in the 4th quarter of the year.
It’ll pick up from the end of the series and it looks like everyone is back on board for it.

Angel Canceled

by @ Sunday, February 15th, 2004. Filed under Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Television

No new Angel next year. No good thing goes on forever, I guess. At least they have a little bit of warning, so they might be able to tie things up in a way they like.

Captain Kangaroo Dies

by @ Friday, January 23rd, 2004. Filed under Personal, Television

Captain Kangaroo died today. I’m pretty sad about it. I remember watching him when I was a kid. The thing I remember most is Mr. Moose dropping ping pong balls on the Captain’s head. It’s not often I cry because someone I never met died. This is one of [...]

The Return of Farscape?

by @ Saturday, November 15th, 2003. Filed under Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Television

There are rumors going around that Farscape is back in production. Keeping my frelling fingers crossed.

Rod Roddy Dies

by @ Tuesday, October 28th, 2003. Filed under Television

Rod Roddy died yesterday. The Price is Right won’t be quite the same without him. Rod was also the announcer on Press your Luck and Soap, two other shows I enjoyed. His wonderful voice will be missed.

Firefly Movie

by @ Thursday, September 4th, 2003. Filed under Movies, Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Television

It looks like there is going to be a Firefly movie. This is great news! Firefly was great show, which like John Doe, was cancelled by Fox because it didn’t have the ratings they wanted for it. I’m thrilled to hear that the story is going to continue past what Fox produced.

Buffy and 24 Season Finales

by @ Wednesday, May 21st, 2003. Filed under Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Television

The Buffy and 24 finales were pretty good. 24 felt a little like a let down. The previous few episodes had been a lot more fast paced. Things seem to slow down too much in the last hour. They clearly knew they were going to have another season before they got [...]

Angel Renewed, John Doe Not

by @ Monday, May 12th, 2003. Filed under Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Television

Angel has been renewed for next season. That’s good.
John Doe was canceled. That’s bad.

The Daily Show

by @ Tuesday, September 25th, 2001. Filed under Personal, Television

It occurs to me that I’ve not mentioned how happy I am that The Daily Show is back on the air. Frankly, I need them right now.
