scifi post

It seems that there is a higher rate of sci-fi shows airing over the Summer (winter for southern hemisphere folk), and more often than not they are only 13 episodes long.

At the moment we have Defiance, Oprhan Black, Warehouse 13, Continuum.... with more starting up soon. (Haven!) Scifi also tends to go hand in hand with the shorter fantasy seasons too (Game of thrones! Teen Wolf!)

(please not their MIGHT be spoilers for the latest episodes in the comment)

Yeah, I think shows like Stargate and Star Trek that are heavily episode-of-the-week with maybe a thread or two that runs all season hold up better to 20+ episodes than shows like Orphan Black.

Same. I'll forgive the ending because lots of the rest of the show was awesome. ;)

yeah and i like that, but less so on a marathon because its feels slower somehow? I'm liking season three of ent a lot right now though

season 1+2 are still pretty perfect
