Is Sci-Fi seeping into mainstream Television?
This week was the first week back for new series TV here in Australia.
Firstly it is great to see that channel 7 is now showing an additional Sci Fi drama at a mainstream timeslot. Bionic Woman on at 8:30 on a Thursday now joins the second season of Heroes.
My question though is as follows…
We all know that Stargate Atlantis is the current number 1 Sci Fi TV show (TV.com) . Why then are other Sci Fi TV shows like Bionic Woman being chosen ahead of Atlantis? What makes it even more odd is that Stargate Atlantis is not even shown in Australia at all on any free to air channel!
On my Sci Fi rant…. It’s time to bring Firefly back. If you haven’t heard of Firefly then RUN to the video store and hire it out. It is generally known as the most cut TV show of all time and it is currently one of the number 1 ranked shows of all time on RottenTomato.
Also in Sci Fi news here is to hoping that the Stargate Actor who played Carson gets awarded the role of Montgomery Scotty on the new Startrek feature film and that Stargate Atlantis Season 5 is announced.
Thats all for now folks. Live long and prosper!
NOTE: Since writing the above, GateWorld.net reported the rating for the opening of Stargate Atlantis Season 4 and they weren’t brilliant. It was outdone by Eureka. Pity
