scifi post

[timetobegin]

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)

I'd forgotten about Under the Dome. I will probably give it a look, but I'm not entirely hopeful.

The Listner....*googles* OH MY GOD! I had meant to watch that, I guess on NBC, but I never knew it had even aired. And, of course, they canceled it right away. Ugh. I'll have to get on that asap! Thank you.

Blah, the ending of BSG was such a disappointment.

I'm not hopeful about Under the Dome either, but I like to give new science fiction a chance. We'll see.

Season four of The Listener started today! In Canada.

If you do watch it, I'll warn you that it starts a bit slow, IMO, but gets better after he starts to tell people about his ability. I loved the end of season one! And then they completely changed it up for season two. There are things I like about the later seasons too, but I really wish they hadn't dropped the season one plotlines. I live in perpetual hope that they'll return to them one day. :)

hehe thank you for the warning :) I'm okay with a slow start, just not a bad start.
