SyFy's Eureka Ends

On July 16th, we said goodbye to SyFy's Eureka; although we weren't really able to stay completely up to date on Eureka, from what we've seen, it was a show that we could easily place into our top 20.

Eureka provided us with good sci-fi, lots of humor, and some unforgettable guest stars (like Felicia Day and Wil Wheaton). Colin Ferguson nailed this role, and we can't wait to see his return to TV.

Have a favorite Eureka moment, quote, episode? Let us know!

FOX Asked For WHAT?!?!

Recently FOX put out notice that they are looking for writers, or anyone for that matter, that would be interested in coming up with a new series in the style of a Sci-Fi Western. Apparently FOX forgot about a little show that ran around seven years ago on their network called FIREFLY.


This news may not have angered the beloved Joss Whedon (actually no one really knows his reaction to this news), but for the rest of us, we're in more of a state of shock. If this is what FOX wants then why not bring back Firefly; you already know it has a fan base. A new show would have to start from scratch and after the way FOX treated Firefly, most won't even give a new series the opportunity to get off of the launch pad.

Maybe FOX thinks that enough time has passed and that we would all have forgotten about Firefly, or maybe they just wanted to be reminded by fans that they already blew a great opportunity with Firefly. Either way, we may or may not review a new Sci-Fi Western from FOX, it just depends on if they catch us on a good day. -GJ

Two By Two, Hands Of Blue

There was an argument several years ago about the men with hands of blue from the TV series Firefly and their fate in the Verse. What was argued was the fact that there just wasn't much explained about them and that it was a disappointment to many that they failed to appear in the movie Serenity.

Although many die hard fans do remember that prior to the release of Serenity, Dark Horse Comics had released a three comic series titled "Those Left Behind" that did feature the men with blue hands. In the third installment it is assumed that the two crisped bodies seen in one of the final panels are them, however, that is only an assumption that readers were able to make, there isn't anything set in stone that says that was them.

Many also point out that there have to be more than just two men in the entire Verse that have hands of blue, there has to be some sort of origin, and may be we would have been entitled to all of this if Joss Wheadon was allowed to finish his vision. -GJ

R2-D2 WTF??

This pic came up on Sci-Fi Wire over the weekend of 9/12/09 and I came to agree with them that this is a must see pic. Sci-Fi Wire found the pic over on Geekologie

No one is exactly sure where it originated from, but many assume somewhere out of Japan.

Oh and please feel free to insert your jokes in the comment section on this one. -GJ

Sci-Fi Now SyFy

On July 9, 2009 the Sci-Fi Channel changed its name to the SyFy Channel. What does this mean to the network's loyal viewers, well absolutely nothing. The change was made because the network wanted a more hip and up to date image. So they said.

What it really does is allow the network to justify its lack of true Science Fiction. Lets face it, over the last several years there has been a decline in the number of true Sci-Fi shows. Yes there are still some on, or soon to premiere, but if you break it down the network should have changed to the Horror Channel.

Granted Horror is a sub-genre to Sci-Fi, but it still should not completely dominate the schedule. The network also runs on a pinch of Fantasy with a dash of true Sci-Fi.

But with the name change they can now tell people "hey we're more than just starships and space aliens, we offer more to fans of the genre." In our opinion we need more starships and space aliens to restore the genre to its glory and to make the Sci-Fi, sorry, SyFy Channel a respectable network again. - GJ
