Does that mean that Who will continue to alternate with SG/BSG?

I think it's likely.

The evening they're trying to set up with Eureka is one where The 4400 and Dead Zone would fit in. In fact, if they had been proactive, that's exactly what the block would have been, since USA and Sci Fi are under the same umbrella.

I'd presume Who is nearly finished it's run, Betsy HP.

Without checking, I don't even think it's halfway through. And a little birdie tells me there's another season.

Last Friday's episode was six out of thirteen in the first season.

The word "skein" continues to hurt my soul.

Do you think that Scifi is going to go right into season 2? Or make us wait?

Possibly doing season 2 here during the mid-season hiatus of the Stargates? (While the Brits get Torchwood and Season 3?)

The word "skein" continues to hurt my soul.

Yes. I don't get its usage. I understand what they're trying to say, but it doesn't make sense to me. A skein is a ball of yarn in my world.

A yarn is another word for a story.

I was super excited, at first, thinking it was the series that Gale Harold is in. But then I remembered that he's in the other pilot about searching for someone from a powerful family that gets kidnapped.

That's "Vanished" on FOX. A Senator's wife gets kidnapped. I did a day on the pilot as an extra. They told us it was "24" meets "Without a Trace."

I think we're seeing a trend where shows are basically season long mini series and if they don't get make it to a full season or to a second season they can still make money on DVD.

Huh, hadn't realised the US was only half way through Who S1. No idea if they'll run straight into series 2.

This is Sci-Fi we're talking about. Any sort of scheduling permutation is possible. They could stop at 1x8, wait six months, and then show the rest of S1, and then show the first three episodes of S2.

We're just damn lucky that they're showing them in order.

Well, technically they did miss the previous 18 series, Tom ;)
