Cleopatra 2525... Keeping hope alive

[#] Mon Feb 07 2011 12:43:36 EST from Spell Binder @ Uncensored

I think I actually watched one episode of "Cleopatra 2525." If I remember correctly, I couldn't decide whether to laugh hysterically or go on a homicidal rampage.

Skimpy costumes.....laugh hysterically.

You have to wonder though, how incredibly talented TV producers are. I mean how much time and effort do they have to spend to get that kind of crap on TV? If they would spend that much effort on the content, I would never leave the TV again.

I have to wonder how incredibly untalented some network executives must be to give the green light to the kind of crap those incredibly talented TV producers sell them. However, I must remember that if there weren't any crap sci-fi shows on TV, there'd be no means by which to gauge the truly excellent sci-fi shows on TV. :P

been riding the coattails of Galactica's success, but I have to give
them credit for doing something different and not just trying to do
more Galactica. The producers have claimed that they had a long

Why not? Galactica was good. :-)

Oh, I agree. The new BSG, IMO, is one of the best sci-fi shows to come along in a long time. Given that, though, I'm glad they ended it when and how they did instead of trying to drag it out and end up jumping the Cylon shark.

What!! There are Cylon sharks - I'm never going in the water again!!!

Just make sure to bring along a Raptor and a squad of marines and you'll be fine. ;)

Lexx, in its entirety, is available for viewing on Hulu.

Hmm.. I only watched it on DVDs, but I never saw the whole series run. I might have to do that now.

Are any of uncensored users fans of Red Dwarf?

Is Red Dwarf Sci-fi or Sitcom?

[#] Thu Sep 08 2011 07:29:24 EDT from fleeb @ Uncensored

I like Red Dwarf, but I haven't been able to see enough of it to get to become a fan. Seemed like soft Sci Fi to me.

If you use NetFlix you can rent the DVDs. I thought the first seasons were great, but after that it went downhill. The last season was okay, and the "Back to Earth" special from last year was not that good.

We watched the first 3 or 4 seasons through Netflix. I didn't like the ones after that as much, but part of it was just burnout, I think.

I've enjoyed Red Dwarf. It's a Sci-Fi comedy - some of the aspects are definately set firmly in the sci-fi ground, but it's not overly techy.

Season 1 was OK, but mostly forgettable. Waiting for God was great, but I dig religious satire.

Season 2 was awesome.

Seasons 3 and 4 were good - the tempo of the show changed quite a bit (much faster), but was enjoyable.

Season 5 was one of my favorites.

Season 6 was very good - but with the Red Dwarf being written off the show, it changed things a bit. Still I very much enjoyed it.

Season 7 attempted to make the show more serioius. It didn't work that well.

Season 8 was another shift (bringing back the ship, crew, and the original Holly), which I felt reinvigorated the show after a bit of a blah season 7.

Problem was, the damn thing ended on a cliffhanger!!

Back to Earth (some call it Season 9) seemed more like fanwank to me. Enjoyable to see the Boys from the Dwarf again, but it was hard, even on a show as batshit crazy as Red Dwarf, to keep it serious, especially since it back-tracked to a previous season.

"fanwank" --- is that a technical term?

fascinating, Bart.

It's consistently amazing to me how much of what we learn leads to more mystery.

Hmm... it'll be interesting to see if that can be replicated.
