Now, how did I know that without even watching the 2nd episode?
I'm 47, but of course I was playing on the fact that they mention Peyton Place all the time.Quote:

Caprica, though...
Spoiler:
I didn't pick up on the fact that they were in the same house.
I was quite pleased with this episode in general though even though I still don't understand the relevance of that cyberworld in everything. The references are clear, but looking at BSG, nothing worked out that way.
The attack looked pretty spectacular :)
This season of Bönes has started somewhat painfully, and I'm not sure I like where they're going, but it's interesting.
I saw a newer episode of Spooks. I used to like it years ago, but it seems to have spiraled into crazy over the top vast conspiracies in governments and security services instead of somewhat believable threats :(
I had such high hopes from Cam's detailing in the first episode why all of Brennan's grad students were unavailable, that they'd decided to stop the rotating and settled on Michael Terry as a more or less permanent guest star.Quote:

Thank you fans for taking the time to voice all of your comments, questions and opinions on our recent decision regarding the future of Caprica. We love all of our shows as much as we hope our viewers do, and continue to do our best to see that each one succeeds. In this case especially, we share in your disappointment.
We’ve read as many of the comments, Tweets, blog posts, faxes and emails as possible, and have chosen the most frequently asked questions to answer below.
Why aren’t you making another season of Caprica?
We would have loved to but the fact is, there have not been enough viewers to support another season. We can only afford to make shows if enough people watch them.
Isn’t that your fault for not marketing it properly?
Through marketing, enough viewers sampled Caprica to make it a success, but many of those didn’t come back for further episodes.
Did you consider DVR-use and online viewership when looking at its ratings?
DVR and online/digital viewership data were included in the decision making process. Overall, the resulting figures did not contribute significantly to the audience totals.
Isn’t that because you moved it from Friday to Tuesday?
It was not successful on Fridays so we moved it to Tuesdays (our most successful night) in an attempt to introduce it to new viewers.
Didn’t the hiatus between the first halves of the season kill the show’s momentum?
No, we regularly split seasons of our shows across the year (the Stargate franchise for example). Viewership after the hiatus continued to decline with each episode.
Did you cancel Caprica so you could make Blood & Chrome?
No, we were planning to produce the Blood & Chrome pilot even if Caprica remained on the air. We wish Caprica had done well enough so we could have both on the air.
Why are you showing the last 5 episodes next year instead of this year?
Given Caprica’s performance in this competitive time, we opted to move it back to 2011 as originally planned. We know it’s not an ideal scenario but the episodes will air.
We recognize your passion and contributions to this page; we will ensure that you are the first to know when the remaining 5 episodes are set to air. Once we have confirmed our schedule, the news will be posted here first.
There aren't enough words to describe how much I hate them at this time.
Then again, they would've done better to show the actual first Cylon war.
Glad they worked Crowley back into Supernatural. Can never have too much Crowley. Still needs more Cas, even if he hasn't been as fun to watch this season.
Never saw Caprica, mostly because I was severely disillusioned by the BSG wrap up. No secret there. Too much mysticism... besides, it has all happened before, it will all happen again..... :o
Note- I fully acknowledge that Caprica could be great television and its cancellation a great loss. I feel for you Lilo.
Conan is so very funny. I've missed him.
I'm wearing my mad face again.Quote:

Watching Breaking Bad currently. It's actually pretty good. Into season 2 now.
My lady and I have become ever-so-slightly Come Dine With Me obsessive.
What ever you do Tim, don't get the DVD with the outtakes and most outrageous scenes - a little bit of a let down. :sour:
Past few years I've enjoyed;
Entourage
Spartacus
The Shield
Family Guy
American Dad
Archer
Nip/Tuck
Sherlock
Jekyll
Breaking Bad
Don't watch much tv consistently though.

New TV is finally back! House throws the best dinner parties. Go ahead and post your spoilers now, lolli.
You've seen it, there's no point in spoiling it for you, now.
:mad:
How could they cancel that? How? Just think of how amazing those last 3 minutes or so could have been stretched into proper seasons.
I hate Syfy. Hate, hate, hate.
I knew you'd have that reaction. :p
I hope they choke on their wrestling. :mad:
Spoiler:
Is anyone watching The Cape? Is it worth watching?
The first two episodes were ... hmmh, don't know yet. Can go either way.Quote:

I just wanted to share a link to the quality programming Syfy is dedicated to bringing the masses. I didn't watch the clips. I don't want to watch the clips.
I hate them.
So I decided to watch Sanctuary (although I assume Syfy will cancel it after its next season, too. They wouldn't want scifi on their channel or anything crazy like that).
At first, my opinion was that it was oddly appealing, but not much more than that. You know the sort of mindless entertainment that we watch teevee for when there's nothing better to do. But then last night I got to the end of season 1 beginning of season 2 arc, and it hooked me - had to stay awake to keep watching to find out what happened next.
It slowed down again, back to oddly appealing. BUT...
There was an episode with Michael Shanks being all hot. And that's always a programming bonus.
Does anyone know anything about The Event? I saw if for the first time the other night. Is it kinda like BSG lite?
It's more like a tech-version of The 4400, I don't think it's going to survive. The schedule alone should be enough to kill it.Quote:

Well, in the German version the subs are gone. Because they dubbed everything. Which means that Hiro talking to his friend and the waitress initially not understanding a word they're saying makes absolutely no sense anymore...
And some series, like Firefly, are never shown over here.
Already talked about it some pages back. Found it to be rubbish.Quote:

I'm pretty sure several folks here have read the books, if you haven't done so already you should check out the show.
We've got a new channel that launched this year, Sky Atlantic HD, which shows HBO's shows. Just finished watching Boardwalk Empire, was very good if a bit short for a Stateside series. Looking forward to Game of Thrones tonight, got that recording on series link :)
Tee Vee doesn't suck. Our providers suck. Comcast sucks most of all. I'm supposed to go down to their local HQ and get some digital box to keep the 2nd tier I'd chosen before they went digital. Either that, or spend a lot of time comparing Fios with DishTV. Add in all their damn bundling of phone/internet/television and it's a complicated maze. With initial rate deals that expire in 6 months, but require a two year contract. :mad:

Reminds me I read about another series where one of the character spoke spanish, and other characters could not understand it (and it was not subbed so neither would most viewers). When it was dubbed in Spanish, they dubbed the Spanish lines into Italian :up:
Listen to the wise man :up:Quote:
