Busy Little Bee

Can’t be on here long…Eureka in 20 minutes! Just wanted to say thanks for the grins re: last post. I just had to take a little moment to wallow, but I’m much better now.

Work went surprisingly well today. I hope it holds.

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 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.

Unbelievable!

Did NOT see that coming. In Eureka, is anything ever as it seems? I may be wrong, and I’m not spoiled in any way whatsoever, but I think this may be for real. I only think that because the show is small enough to get away with something like this. Then again, it’s also small enough that they can get away with reversing it somehow. I just don’t know what the future holds, but as long as there is a future, I’m there.

On a much less cool note, I am the world’s biggest sucker. No, I mean it. Once again, I’ve let my sense of responsibility cost me greatly.

NO NO NO

A thousand times, NO! Didn’t the SciFi Channel people learn their lesson when they tried this BS with SG-1?!? One of the best things about Eureka has always been the retro-futuristic feel of the credits and now they are using the same abbreviated, title-only mess that SG-1 fans had to rally against. ARGH!

Change it back. Change it back NOW.

Otherwise, good ep!

Get Ready For Eureka!

Tuesday, July, 29–Eureka season premiere. I.CAN.NOT.WAIT Eureka’s one of those rare shows that has a bit of everything (including intelligence). Though the plots are sometimes far fetched, the cast is excellent and always manages to pull off the funny, sad, and geeky parts. It’s a must-see show.

Since we were treated to a nice little Eureka marathon this weekend, I’ve been watching rips of Pushing Daisies. This is another quirky show that I really like. I’ve said it before, but Emerson Cod is one of the best written characters on TV. I smirk just thinking about his comebacks. LOVE. The new casting spoilers about Emerson’s mother made me happier than I’ve ever been about casting news…and I’ve never even heard of her. The picture just *BAMS* you in the head making you smile. Here’s to a great second season for The Pie Hole gang!
