Possible New Show Alert

Although I had heard about NBC’s adaptation of Crusoe a while ago, I kind of forgot about it. I already watch Heroes from NBC, and thanks to our Democratic politicians, I am not permitted to receive the NBC channel, so I’m hesitant about adding another fandom that I can’t watch first run.

What could possibly change my mind? Sean Bean. The new lead actor playing Crusoe looks amazingly like Bean, and Bean is aptly cast as his father. I don’t think his role is very large, however. Although the trailers for the show all tout his involvement, the Crusoe site doesn’t include him in the “Bio” section, so that makes me a bit leery.

I guess the bottom line is something we all already know: If Sean Bean is onboard at all, I’m watching. :wink2:

Life In One Call

I have been feeling weird today; almost hollow. I considered writing a whole post about how much better things were when I was at WVU and how I missed having friends around.

Then, it happened. My whole life was summed up in a phone call from my mom. “Call me right back so I can see if this new phone works properly,” she said.

That’s me. I’m the person you call only to have some menial task fulfilled. I’m the person you call because you know I’ll be home with nothing else to do. This is what I am.

Excuse me while I go be emo. 😥

I woke up to the news that SGA has been cancelled. Not cancelled, just, you know, not on anymore. This whole “we’ll make movies” garbage is not good enough. As much as I :love: SG-1, those movies are rather bad. I can’t imagine the SGA movies will be any better.

I’m not surprised that the show was cancelled for a few different reasons. I’ve stated most of my gripes before, and I know a large part of the fandom shares them. When the heart of the show was removed, Weir and Beckett, the writers put themselves into deep holes and never really dug their way out. I guess in the end, the only things I’ll miss about Atlantis are the sets, Ronon (the eye-candy, not the role), Rodney, and the chance to get to know those kickass villains we only got a glimpse of. Oddly enough, I won’t miss Sheppard, who was the reason I watched in the first place. There has been almost NO character development in five years now, and without Elizabeth to humaniize him, he became some basic military guy.

Hopefully, we’ll have Eureka and Fringe around long enough to make me happy. Colin Ferguson says in his interview vid on Sci-Fi that they’re actually going to get an additional Winter run to go along with the Summer run, so maybe that’s good news. I still cannot say enough about how much I love Fringe. I just keep waiting for it to actually premiere so I can see new episodes.
