.Farscape is back
Apr 7
Sci Fi Wire — The News Service of the Sci Fi Channel – Farscape is returning as a mini-series. Yay!
ALF Returns
Dec 22
Zap2it – TV news – – This should be fun. Hopefully, they will do this well. There are so many ways this could go wrong, but I loved ALF.
SyFy Portal – It’s still a rumor that the miniseries will eventually turn into a series for the Sci Fi Channel, but who really thinks it wouldn’t at this point?
Jonathan Brandis Suicide
Nov 26
CNN.com – Death of Jonathan Brandis ruled suicide – Nov. 25, 2003 – There are many folks who compare Star Trek’s Wesley with the character Jonathan played on SeaQuest (Lucas). Even Wil Wheaton himself has on his own weblog. Although, I didn’t really like how each character came across in each series, I still felt I had a connection with them.
Perhaps, it’s just the geek in me (both characters were geeks in the shows. In real life, I have no idea if Jonathan was a geek. Wil on the other hand is a self proclaimed geek, which makes it really cool to go read his weblog and see what he’s up to.
Obviously, the characters in the shows haven’t died. I guess it’s that geek in me that feels sad that the real life guy who made the geeky character come alive has died. It’s hard to explain.
Interestingly, Wil has an entry about Jonathan’s death also and a comparison between himself and Jonathan. WIL WHEATON DOT NET: grinding halt
A moment of silence…
Update on 12/13/03: Question: Does anyone know or have heard why he did it? (preferably, not from a tabloid?
Update on 04/25/06: Jonathanbrandis.org – This site is a memorial to him. It has a good number of links, pictures, etc. and seems to be updated fairly often (and recently.)
The OC Schedule
Oct 20
FOX Broadcasting Company: The O.C. – The OC has moved nights. I was originally planned for Oct 30, but now the website says Wednesday’s at 9pm (29th).
I think it’s now up against, Smallville and Angel.
More O.C.
Sep 10
the futon critic – the web’s best primetime television resource – The OC will definately be getting a whole season of new shows.
I really enjoy this show so far. It’s new and I think it has potential, but at the same time I also expect it to fall into the same traps as all the other shows of its type. Until then, I plan to enjoy every minute.
SyFy Portal – This is gunna suck. One TiVo … two shows at the same time!
A source to SyFy Portal said that the mission of the NX-01 is not the only thing being changed this season. The words “Star Trek” are being added back to the title.
Theory is that this is due to Smallville being on at the same time this fall. Clark … Trip … Clark … Trip. (Clark is hotter in my book!)
Star Trek Art Director Dies
Jul 22
Sci Fi Wire — The News Service of the Sci Fi Channel – Sadness… Like many, I grew up on Star Trek. Although everything now has high tech looking ships with great special effects, the first Enterprise (the one created in 1967 or so) was special to me. That ship held a bunch of childhood fantasies for me.
What an odd feeling.. This guy wasn’t even a character on the show.
