A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

Well that didn't take long
Sci Fi Channel isn’t about to let down “Stargate” fans.
The network is set to announce the order of a new series from MGM Television, “Stargate: Universe,” that will mark the third entry in Sci Fi’s longest-running original series franchise.
The greenlight comes on the heels of Sci Fi’s confirming Thursday that “Stargate: Atlantis” will not receive a sixth-season order. The “Universe” pickup ensures the continuation of the popular “Stargate” franchise, which has been on the air in various incarnations since 1997.
“Universe” will premiere as a two-hour movie early next year and will assume a regular hourly slot in the summer. Brad Wright and Robert Cooper, co-creators of “Stargate: SG-1” and “Atlantis,” will serve as executive producers and writers on the new series.
Welcome back and congrats, Colin!
I'm liking how there's some focus on Carter's healing friendship with Henry more this season, and the addition of Thorn as a no-nonsense bottom line type with a hidden agenda that may not be entirely villainous. That's somewhat counterbalanced by the over-the-top product placement and the fact that I cross my fingers for PoochieZane to be the science mishap casualty du jour every episode and get disappointed, but I am tuning in each week.
Scifi is marathoning season 3 of Eureka on September 2nd. (You know, in case anyone here has missed any episodes.)
They're cancelling SGA? And replacing it with...a new spinoff?

Normally I am, I think it's fair to say, a reasonably articulate kind of lass, but really, all I can think of to say to this is: What the fucking fuck?
CFerg - how exciting about the comic books! Have you done that kind of thing before? Should be a blast! Oh, and granted I've not seen any of the current season of
Eureka
(being in Bangkok), so I can't comment on this season - but I definitely agree that Ed's choices in the first two seasons have been spot on. Cranking up the whole mean/combative thing would have been reductive, not to say cheesy. Got to love the depth & humour Ed's brought to the part.

...and, you know, I'm still boggling over SciFi cancelling SGA. Seriously. WTFF?
Interview with Mark Sheppard - mainly about BSG.
I'm still in shock over the cancellation of SGA. When they start canceling shows even when they have good ratings, I'm not sure what they'll do next. (Then again... remember way back to Odyssey 5, which was Showtime's highest rated show and that got canceled.) I suppose I can understand that they wanted to do a series of SGA movies and going out on top is probably the only way to make the movies profitable, but there had better be a whole lot of them.
It sounds like it was a decision by MGM, not Sci-Fi. Wasn't Atlantis at 5 seasons? So contracts were probably up.
watching the Mark Sheppard interview. My word, I forgot how much I love his voice. And what a lovely man.
Cferg! Comics! My imagination is going wild thinking of what could take place inbetween seasons 1 and 2. But then again
Once in a Lifetime
still resonates with me as an incredible hour of television, and I'm always hopeful that the show will remember that whole episode happened.
SGA: personally, I'm relieved, because I can't stop watching it, but I can't stop bitching about it, and not in a "love to nitpick it" way. Especially when the writing even managed to make Ronon, the one saving grace for me, not adorable or funny and dumbed him down to the level of an ape two or so eps ago.
Waves "hi" to CFerg! thanks for stopping by!
