Lost had a great arrangement with real tense music at the start of the S2, when they actually showed what was in the hatch from the point of view of the hatch itself! It started with old “Mamas and Papas” song (ick) but visual and audio took an abrupt turn into overdrive with urgent violin based theme. Then horns came in…do TV shows get awards for music? I watched that opening minute or two over and over based largely on the great music! Are you a Lostaholic? I can’t wait every week.

Great themes really make great sci-fi more effective!

What are you faves? Sci Fi please.

Anyone have the theme song for a 70′s syndicated show called UFO? I don’t recall the short-lived show, but as a kid I thought that sequence was the best!

I also liked both the theme songs for Lost in Space. I favor the one that begins with the ascending horn piece.

The only Trek song that I enjoyed was Deep Space Nine. I don’t know why mature Trek always went with slow, boring arrangements. But with Deep Space Nine it fit better, because, instead of an active, adventurous vessel, we had a delicate looking station poised in space. So the graceful music seemed more fitting. I despised the ballad for Enterprise.

The 4400 theme had a creepy, wispy feel to it, that fit the premise of the series (back when it had the semblance of a plot).

Unless it is a tip of the hat, I never understood why the opening/teaser (or maybe outro) of Battlestar Galactica has a tribal sounding HOOH-HAHH *exactly* like Farscape. Is it stealing or is it homage?

I’ve heard that there trying to come up with a good script for a Farscape film.

How cool would that be?

As for Sarah Connor Chronicles, I thought it kicked butt!! I am hoping that they give it a good time slot next year-right where it is-because I think the show has ALOT of potential!! The ending was cool, but we know she’s going to walk out of it…but it will be sans SKIN!!!

This is a VERY cool idea, Vic.

790, not to speak for another, but I know Steve Adams is a Lexx fan.

Any Lost fans here who actually watch the “enhanced episode” with the pop-up factoids? I skim through them…it’s like a mini “Director’s Commentary.”

Now that TSCC’s over Monday nights dead on tv. Same with the whole week mostly. (Time to start watching some dvd’s)…

Vic id love to see some more “Terminator Sarah Connor Cronicles” info on Screenrant. Anybody out there with me on that?

But it was cool with the music and watching them all come tumbling out of the sky.

“They did a great job with the last episode and yes it did end on a huge cliffhanger that needs to be resolved.”

The only thing that needed to be resolved from the cliffhanger is who that was that caused that “scene”. I fully expect Cameron to just step out of the wrecked vehicle no less worse for wear, except of course her clothes all blown to bits.. leaving her…. hmm, Fox could have a bit of an interesting episode opener if the show comes back now that I think about it. hehe…

The show has improved almost in each episode… Their taking the show in a direction that works well over a 22 episode season arc.
Basically, Skynet is in its pupea stage before Judgement day. Sarah and John Connor along with Cameron (protector terminator) each week wage small yet precise attacks on Skynets. construction. Meantime,,,Cromarte (bad terminator from the pilot ep.) Is relentlessly pursuing John.
There’s some great scenes where the 2 terminators come very close to each other yet Cameron is able to prevent it. Cameron, played by Summer Glau is one of the best casting choices I have seen in a long time. Not to mention the actor that plays John Connor. He was great in Heroes and he’s great as JC.
There’s a few minor things that bother me about the show but overall its a fast paced well written episodic Terminator tv show. The season finale was very good and had 2 real great scenes. One in where John Connor meets Kile Reese as a little kid. (That scene had a real cinamatic feel to it).
And also a great scene where Cromarte takes out an entire swat team at a hotel without the viewer ever seeing how he did it. (It was shot with an underwater camera in the Hotels pool. We hear what’s going on but the action is cop after cop falling into the pool dead “in slow mo”from the attack up on the 2nd floor of the hotel). I remember there was a great Johnny Cash track playing in the background. It was easliy the best scene in the entire series….!

The show was halted after its 11th episode due to the WGA strike. I’m positive that it will continue to round out its 22 episode schedule this year. We could
see new episodes by September.
They did a great job with the last episode and yes it did end on a huge cliffhanger that needs to be resolved.

I’m betting FOX will also renew this show for a second season with a full 22 episode run that will leed
right up to the new Terminator film in 09. The presence of a hit TV show will add Millions to a summer box office movie. One that is targeted for the same weekend Star Trek 11 comes out.

Paramount’s not good with release dates. IMO.

Regarding the TDK trailer, there’s a RUMOR that it might be attached to “10,000 B.C.”

Vic

Just so people won’t start freaking out and spewing out old DVDs like Roadhouse in a ultra super duper double dip, I just got word from a close friend of Patrick, saying that he is actually working on a film now and is well enough to work. So… I don’t know…

and when does the next TDK trailer get released?

Thor I can easily see ruined by bad casting, because if they want to tell the story normally told, then it requires a completely normal guy who can act like Thor as well, and be able to make that transition convincingly.

Also the Hugo Weaving thing, I don’t care what hes in I just want to see it, he absolutely awesome as any role.

Because he’d be totally AWESOME in the role is why! I think he’s perfect for the part.

Also, does anyone think that Dustin Hoffman might be right for Sinestro? Maybe if he were younger? Just a thought.

Tac-
I think Liev will make a good Sabertooth. I’m actually excited to see Wolverine. I’ve been waiting to see Gambit in action since I read they actually cast and shot him in the first X-men movie, then subsequntly cut all the scenes (even though this may have been rumor).

Kieran-
I liked the idea of Tyler Mane being Thor. Of course, I’d prefer him to repose his role as Sabertooth too, but for some reason, no….. I’m sure whoever lands the role of Thor will be aid in adding another blockbuster movie to Marvel’s repertoire.

Vic-
Awesome idea about open floor discussion!!

I think Shreiber will make a good Sabretooth. He’s a great actor and he looks pretty bulked up right now. I didn’t post the recent pics because honestly I thought they were a crappy way to get a first look at the character since they were just him walking around on the set instead of in the context of the movie.
