[scifinoir2] ABC Discusses Setting End Point for Lost

2007-01-15 Thread KeithBJohnson
Good news. Though I love Lost, I have no interest in a slowly-unfolding-mystery show like this going on ad infinitum. I felt it should have ended after three seasons. After that shows like this start feeling stretched. But I'd settle for the 2007 - 2008 season to be the end. I say let shows

I haven't seen any of the new BSG shows this season. I missed the last four eps of season two last year, and was really surprised when Sci Fi Channel didn't rebroadcast the entire season as they did in times past. (I'm sure they didn't, as I checked the schedule for all odd hours). Perhaps they

I am always left with a sour taste in my mouth when I see how African American characters are portrayed on Battlestar. either they are bad guy stereotypes, underdeveloped, or when they finally get a storyline worth paying attention to, we get the abbreviated telling, like with Apollo and his

Most people aren't aware that drinking too much water can kill you, but it can. Drinking too much water dilutes the blood plasma in your body, making the level of salts and other needed minerals drop. All your muscles--especially the heart--need minerals and salts in order to function. As the

Not a problem. I've listened to every one of Moore's podcasts on most of seasons one and two of BSG. Like I said, he's spoken highly of some of the Black actors. He loves Bill Duke, and felt regret his character wasn't better developed. He thinks the actress playing Dee is gorgeous. I hate to

That's a sad statement on the state of things, Keith. I've known about the dangers of drinking too much water since I learned how to walk. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Most people aren't aware that drinking too much water can kill you, but it can. Drinking too much water dilutes the blood

Tracey, I wondered the same thing when I first heard about him re-imagining the show. The moments have been few and far between for me, dependent mostly on how military the ep ran. For me, the actual New Cap rescue ep was the topper, basically holding me in place hoping for more. Tracey de

The eps have been erratic at times, script-wise, but I don't think that's the reason for the move. I smell the stupidity that is SciFi Programming at work here, trying to build an audiience for The Dresden Files. Can't see the fit, myself. An urban fantasy as a lead for a hard SF show?

i do not think it is cliched. We live is a white world where people of color, women, gays, etc must adapt to fit or get through life. The average white guy does not have to do that, so he never has to constantly see things from other people's perspectives. So I will agree that that is his
