Hey guys!
I know I haven't been updating anything in a while but as you may have guessed, I have been caught in the dreaded horrors of IRL! ('In real life' for all you people who have obviously never been on an MMORPG or chatroom in your life!) Anyway bad internet acronym's aside, I have some info on some upcoming series that will hopefully get you all happy inside even with the end of summer (for all you American's etc) and exams for those in New Zealand, Australia etc.
Firstly for those of you who haven't seen the longest running sci-fi series 'doctor who', need to start watching it because you can't call yourself a sci-fi fan if you haven't seen it! I may just write a little review on it but for now I want to draw your attention to a couple of dates. Sometime in November we will finally have the next special entitled 'Waters of Mars' as well as the two part Christmas/New Year special entitled 'The End of Time'. As i said previously, I'll probably write some more on this soon!
Secondly for those of you who are Stargate fans, Stargate Universe has it's first installment in the form of a two hour movie broadcasting on sci-fi (or whatever random spelling that network uses now) on October 2nd. The series follows the ancient ship 'destiny' which a new team of adventures has found themselves stranded on, after the use of the ninth shevron. The special effects, space battles and rumours suggest that this is a series you DO NOT want to miss.
Thirdly for those of you who suffered through the other four volumes of heroes will be pleased (or displeased depending on your attitude) to hear that the first episode will premiere on September 21st. One positive is that Robert Knepper has been added to the regular cast and he is best known for his role as 'T-bag' in Prison Break. If this show hadn't stolen enough from Prison Break, Claire has a new roommate by the name of 'Gretchen' played by Madeline Zina, lets just hope she isn't a psychopath as well! Stuntman, Actor and martial artist, Ray Park will also be one of the new villains. He is best known for his part in Starwars: The Phantom Menace as Darth Maul, Snake Eyes in the new GI Joe movie as well as Toad in the x-men movie franchise. So to summarize all of heroes so far, company is bad so they spend two series trying to destroy it but other people with abilities go mental over the next two seasons so they end up reopening it in this new season. Exciting stuff right? People wonder why ratings in this particular show have diminished.
Fourthly there will also be a new series of the Doctor Who spinoff 'The Sarah Jane Adventures' featuring 12 episodes where K-9 appears in at least six as well as a guest appearance of the Doctor. This new series should be released in autumn 09.
Fifthly for all those prison break fans, there is talk of a new series from the makers of Prison Break, rumoured to be called "Break Out Kings" which is a drama where ex-fugitives are recruited to work as US Marshall's. Yeah I know what you're thinking, someone thought they made lots of money out of prison break so they're trying to reinvent the wheel.
Syfy (Yes that is ACTUALLY how they spell it now) is planning a series revolving around science fiction, the Mayan Calendar in a National Treasure/Da Vinci Code style genre that is no doubt going to leave us cringing at yet ANOTHER one of these movies that is centered around the end of the world in 2012. (Predicted by the Mayan Calendar.)
I've also read that Spielberg is planning another alien invasion-plot based movie that we can all marvel with at that wonderful feeling we get at the end of all of his movies and the constant thought of "WTF???" - Yeah, you know what I mean!
Anyway I'll hopefully be able to post some more content soon as these little gems develop!
