Paulscoconutass Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 Syfy/Syfy HD are both pretty good for apocalyptic / disaster / alien flicks if you keep your eye on the listings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly, the budget had been much reduced.It's starts with the "Diana" character being led to a trial for her crimes.Now bearing in mind that she and her alien buddies were guilty of the death of squillions of humans....They escort her to the courhouse, and when they arrive, there's about half-a-dozen bored looking extras slouching around with hand-made placards that read "Death To Diana"...and..."Aliens Go Home".I switched it off at that point.

Oedo 808 Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 Syfy is just a re-branding exercise by the Sci-Fi channel, a change which they made last year in the US due to the fact you cannot trademark the word "Sci-Fi".The channel is on Sky in this country, I don't believe you can get it on Freeview.That said, about 'V'. I enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to the next episode.The casting... a chick from Battlestar, the blonde from Lost and Alan Tudyk and Moreena Baccarin from Firefly. It's genre actor heaven. Let's say it again. Moreena Baccarin. Yes. <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieran_imray Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 There were rumours at some point of SyFy picking up Terminator: TSCC from Fox, anyone have any idea if this is infact true? I miss that show . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oedo 808 Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 Oh. Best bits. Anna talking to the reporter. "Don't ask me anything that would portray us in a bad light". I think those are the two best characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 Moreena Baccarin from Firefly. It's genre actor heaven. Let's say it again. Moreena Baccarin. Yes. <3Hadn't heard of her, so checked her out on Google.Yep, it's official - she'd be getting it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
