Old news I'd missed -- from Futon Critic:
'SCI FI Investigates' is a special series, a real-life 'X-Files' that will aggressively explore the mysterious, wondrous and unexplained of our world. A six-part, one-hour, weekly series 'SCI FI Investigates' will initiate sweeping, eclectic explorations of the stubborn mysteries and classic legends that pervade our world. 'Survivor' and 'Amazing Race' alumnus Rob Mariano is joining the 'SCI FI Investigates' team, which also includes an array of subject- specific authorities including forensic expert Lisa Van Camp, tech wiz John Greenwald, scientist Dr. Bill Doleman and journalist Len Cannon. Mariano will be the resident "jack of all trades," offering pragmatic, resourceful input on a variety of investigations.
I love Rob, but I don't know if I love him that much. Ooo, unless "pragmatic, resourceful input" really means he'll be making fun of the other people.
Also, "sweeping, eclectic explorations" of mysteries that "prevade our world"? Whoever writes the press releases is trying too hard.
"In Search Of..." take 2.
I've always wanted SciFi to do a Mythbusters kind of show, using science to debunk urban legends and stuff like that. But I rather doubt that's what they'll be doing here.
I went over to SyFy Portal and spoiled myself for something that's going to happen in Season 3 of BSG.
Why must I give in to my curiosity? I mean, it's not like they didn't warn me or anything.
Of course, maybe it's not true.
The guy who runs SyFy portal is a jackass; I'd stay away from that site.
BSG Sharon is on an ep of Stargate. It's the one where the oldbies fake-out the newbies that the base has been taken over.
Foothold! I love that ep.
It was actually Proving Ground [link] My description may not have been all that... descriptive. Though, I love Foothold, too.
Hmm. What's the difference between the two? (On Blackberry, links bad)
I'm probably wrong.
Gimme a sec...
Proving Ground:
Col. Jack O'Neill is assigned to train a new SG team, which includes former cadet Hailey, who is now a lieutenant.
O'Neill puts the team through training exercises, and he stresses the importance of being able to identify one's real enemies.
The training is cut short, however, when O'Neill learns that Stargate Command might be facing an alien incursion. Now he has to take this unproven team into a real combat situation — one for which they might be woefully unprepared.
Except it's all a fake-out to test the newbies.
Foothold is the one where they have the little devices that let them look like each other, and Sam shoots Jack. Proving Ground is the one with the cadets from the Academy.
