Sci-Fi Discussion in TV and Movies

If it is Khan then Marla McGivers is the woman
http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Marla_McGivers which doesn't fit visually

But Elizabeth Dehner http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Dehner does fit so would suggest that the man is Gary Mitchell http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Gary_Mitchell

a la http://memory-beta.wikia.com/wiki/Where_No_Man_Has_Gone_Before

Edit: Japanese version which is slightly longer, I can see why people are saying Khan

Wow! It looks like the new series of Dr. Who could be substantially different from what we have seen if tonighrs xmas special is anything to go by. Unlike last years, this was a good watch and was most enthrawling.

That and Jenna Louise Coleman is pretty soft on the eye

Also, a new Tardis design and they finally fixed the title sequence! woo hoo

Been a while since I posted in this thread... I don't have much choice for sci-fi on my TV service So I have only watched sci-fi movies and shows on Netflix (Canada) and in theatre.

Started watching The Walking Dead (if you can call that sci-fi?) on Netflix a while ago. Got into it and watched all I could, which is only seasons 1 and 2... Can't wait to get more on Netflix. Those who watched beyond that please don't spoil it for me

Then I was looking for something else to watch so I watched BBC Survivors - cannot believe the show was cancelled after series 2! It's better than Walking Dead, as far as post-apocalyptic TV shows are concerned

Now that I finished that, just started watching V (2009). What's with me and 2-seasons shows? I just find them so good but so short... *sign* ok maybe next time I will watching something longer running, like Lost or something -_-

In terms of movies, I watched all those super hero movies: spiderman, batman, avengers, etc. Same old same old...

Watched Hobbit The Unexpected Journey, totally expecting it to end abruptly, but still found it too much so

Before that also watched Hansel and Gretel... Surprisingly good, especially considering the bad critics - I don't get it, why can't people just enjoy a simple adventure like this movie nowadays? I sure did

Tak, you should watch the show Jeremiah... Great show! I am waiting for season three of The Walking Dead too. Loved Survivors too. I am almost done with the first season of Once Upon A Time... good show. Also, I just came across this: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1374992/?fb_action_ids=10151313592741519&fb_action_types=og.likes&fb_source=other_multiline&action_object_map=%7B%2210151313592741519%22%3A439834858451%7D&action_type_map=%7B%2210151313592741519%22%3A%22og.likes%22%7D&action_ref_map=%5B%5D
Looks like it could be good.

I am also waiting on the new Tom Cruiz movie Oblivion or something.

Hmmm so Jeremiah is another post-apocalyptic show... Sounds interesting and thanks for suggesting it, I will wait for it to get on Netflix...

BTW I am still watching Nikita on TV (have it recorded in Windows Media Center when new episodes are on). Not sci-fi, but a good thriller and they keep having new twists to the story. Worth my time

So anyone here watched V? I am getting into it... I like how the plot develops and makes you want to see what happens next. The CG background is a bit annoying though, especially since I am watching it in HD. (I don't have any HD channels, but I get HD on Netflix - what a deal, traditional TV providers are really dying.)

Yeah, Jeremiah used to be on Netflix but I guess it was rotated off again. I'm sure it will be back.

It is a bit cheesy in places and some of the bad guys over act a bit, however when you are "in the moment" the show works.

I am waiting on the show "Revolution" to return. As much as I have struggled to like it, it has grown on me, and this LONG break has made me want to watch it even more...

Hmmm, so on Jeremiah everyone's a virgin? That can mean a lot of things...

Mmm I am not sure about Revolution... I guess I could give it a second chance, if I catch it showing on TV.

Everyone is a virgin? Hmmm, that would end by the first commercial I'm sure...

Whatever gave you that idea???

Well I mean they were all under the age of puberty... So no one was "experienced" But I guess after 15 years they must have learned everything by themselves; they can watch the videos I suppose

Maybe not sci-fi, but I saw Oz, The Great and Powerful today....excellent 3D graphics, great flick. Worth seeing and taking the family to...

My only mistake, when I saw the flying baboons, I said, "Pattie, looks like some of your family members got movie roles...." Popcorn was flying after that....

I don't find it that exciting from the trailer... I might still watch it though

Watching Star Trek movies is like buying encyclopedias, one volume at a time...you just got to get the next one so you can say you have a complete set...

We went and saw oblivion last weekend and I really enjoyed it! Great effects and good story line.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oblivion_(2013_film)
