In regards to “Eureka,” what does later this year mean? I’m sorry but Sci-Fi really needs to get their friggin act together with these shows. Had it not been for my owning a DVR, I probably could have cared less about the return of “Battlestar Galactica” and “Eureka.” I mean C’MON!!! What the hell!!!
Let’s just hope this “whopper” of an episode of The Unit isn’t all political like Season 2’s finale and 3’s premier…
Ash: Sci-Fi has been aloof about the return date for Eureka.
Ken: The Whopper of an episode supposedly introduces the new character in an intense Bourne/Bond-style action sequence. What ever that might mean!
Unfortunately I have to say that Stargate: Atlantis went out on a very weak note IMHO. Final two episodes seemed TOTALLY thrown together at the last minute to close the TV series. Very abrupt and “Deus Ex Machina” feeling to them.
I’m disappointed.
Vic
Well… they did seem eclectic from the flow of the rest of the show. Not sure what they were thinking since they’ve known about this ending for some time…
Well, at least they didn’t get too long in the tooth.
Hey! Atlantis is sitting right off the coast in my neighborhood! (More or less) I should go visit.
What I thought was weak was the idea that in the series finale after all
these threats to earth,
Its NOW that they have to go back to earth to save it .
Lame.
Pushing Daisies will HAVE to air the last three shows, it has a contract.
Eureka, on the other hand,is a summer show. The ‘midseason’ finale gave it time to stop until July (when it shows anyway).
Btw, it’s is a contraction meaning it is. Its indicates possession.
thanks nancy. i’ll git this writin’ thing down sooner or later!
I’ve only seen the first of the two part ending to Atlantis and have to agree so far, Vic.
The moment I started watching it I just thought, if I wanted to watch CSI then I would. But I don’t. Gimme Atlantis!
The award give to Hugh Laurie and everthing else concerning House does not suprise me. That show alwasy finds a way to crack me up no matter how bad a day I’ve had
and the performance from Robin Williams was amazing, sent chills down my back on how really messed up he can act! lol
I haven’t seen the series finale of SG: Atlantis yet but the episode prior to it was boring to me. Also, in the first episode where an alternate McKay was introduced, he said the Shephard in his universe was brainy, but this first-parter didn’t show Shepherd in that light.
I never saw House until the USA network had a marathon this past Christmas. I got hooked on the show watching the first episode. Laurie deserves all the kudos.
