I’m gonna have to agree with Lexxlurker on this one. The prolouges and the stories seemed rushed quite often. However the way the current “season” ended seems to open up soem possiblities for the remainder of the season/series. (With the x-303 and Thor’s problem with the replicators.)
That dude is one sick ****.
Can a link be provided at the top of the forums page. One that leads to the fourm rules?
Is there a special program I can use to make banners. Or will irfanview do? I tried making one up for TTR a few days ago, with little success.
Does this person have influence in the farscape community? Or is s/he just a random unknown trying to start something big?
I guess what I’m trying to ask is if this “party” was known to the save farscape people?It just seems so assinine to hold such a [i]monumental event[/i] in a forum so primitve the Assyrians thought it was ancient! The only plus to having it on that forum is that scifi can see the fan support. But I doubt the scifi suits care about that anymore.
I think you mean [url=http://www.sadgeezer.com/buffy/purity-test.htm]here[/url] for the Buffy purity test.
I loved this epsiode. I wasn’t to worried about recycled plotlines in the beginning though. The shear sarcasm and wit in the first 20 min was good enough for me. As for the plot of teaching a woman to be independent, I was pretty sure that the episode was going to go further then that. Much like how the first 2 min of [i]The Simpsons[/i] has nothign to do with the the last 10 min. (At least in recent seasons)
Yes I also noticed the akward silence in the space scenes. While I don’t miss the lame sound effects, some background music (even the bad country stuff) would be nice. Of course it is sometimes heard in the transitional space scenes. IMHO the chilling dead quiet of the space shots adds to the realism of the great void. And the silence is also also a great way to add suspense to a shot/scene.

When did this change occur? Do you mean to tell me that I’ve been parading around my forums with leather pants and a whip, like a fool, and none of you bothered to tell me!

Nah, thats the other moderators forum in the back. See right over there, (headge points to a door in the corner), but you gotta drop Vinn a 20, before he’ll let you in.
Welcome a board! If you need anything just ask.
I’d have to agree, the episode started off slow. I kept thinking to myself “I liked this story better when its stared Kevin Bacon, and the monster/demon was called a Graboid”
The last half of the episode has left me very confused. So does Spike have a soul? What was Anya refering to when she asked Spike how he did “it”? Is Spike crazy and imagined the evil changling dude, or is he just playing Hamlet? And generally, WTF just happened?[ 02-10-2002: Message edited by: Headgehog ]
I thought that the second episode cinched it for me. The Train Job was lacking, and if it weren’t for this sites dedication to the show, I probably wouldn’t ahev given Firefly a second chance. But I’m glad that I did, because this last ep made up for the “pilot”.
I do belive that its still to early and pessimestic to be talking about cancellations. If Firefly were on UPN, this wouldn’t even be a discussion. But its only because its on FOX, a real network, that low ratings are becoming such an issue, here. [i]I’m weary of FOX becasue of their cancellation of Greg the Bunny and Family Guy.[i/]

Wow, that’s a lot of information!
So let me get this straight, the site gets 200k hits/day but only ~3500 visitors/day?Thank-you for throwing this together for me.
I should probably reiterate, the average number of hits/day was what I was looking for. 150k hits/day sounds about right.
Is there anyway that I can access this information?
Happy Belated Birthday too!
I hope you had a good one.

Where are these newsgroups?
The ratings beign higher then opther Wheedon series is a good sign. ANd so is that it performed btter then the tiem slots previous occupant. But ratings did fall at the half way point, and not everyone who wathes the pilot stays for the rest of the series. Remember that [i]Greg the Bunny[/i] was not renewed for similar reasons.
As for scifi picking it up, I doubt it. Scifi is movign away from its core audiance who loves space dramas. Personally I’ve lost all confidence in scifi after they cancelled farscape. It was the last straw after cancelling [i]The Chronicle[/i] and not picking up another B5 series.Hi, welcome again. If you have any questions, no matter how dumb they sound, don’t hesitate to ask. I bet I probably asked that question too at one point.
I liked it at lot. It has that season 1 feel to it, but it stil has all the complexity and numerous intertwinign storylines that come with a show over time.

That’s eactly what I said to one of my friends over the phone right after it ended. I’m pretty new to the show, but could it have something to do with that demon Spike had to fight last season to get his soul back?
I’m kinda curious, when does the rest of the world get to see the new show. For US its this Friday, is it about the same for countries elsewhere?
Okay, here’s what I’ve got so far, the series is still a go, as recent as Aug 28. based on this article I found at Animation World News.

[url=http://news.awn.com/index.php3?ltype=search&search=Tripping+the+Rift&newsitem_no=6641]”The newly formed alliance of Canadian production company CinéGroupe and animation producer Film Roman Studios has begun production on SCI FI Channel’s first-ever animated series TRIPPING THE RIFT. The CG-animated series is based on the short film of the same name, with thirteen half-hour episodes slated to debut in first quarter 2003 as part of SCI FI’s regular Friday primetime line-up of original series. Created by Chuck Austen and Chris Moeller, TRIPPING THE RIFT follows the adventures of The Free Enterprise, a smuggling vessel led by a purple alien called Chode who, along with his misfit shipmates, battles enemies and new obstacles in space each week. “[/url]And I even found one from back in November ’01 the hints that a series is a go

or struck with more delays. even the official site’s last posting was in March. what is going on, really?
Ironically I asked myself that, this morning, while pondering scifi’s intentions. Give me a few days to ask around.

Yea who would watch a spaceship show with an inept captain, a sarcastic robot (who wants to kill the captain), and a sexy woman (who more or less controls the captain); a show which pretty much is just a satire of classic scifi movies/shows?
Hi everyone, and thank-you. I’ve been very busy this summer with my job, (and of course uncon) but now that school’s starting I have enough time to devote to my favorite website.
And yes not being a teenager does has an odd feeling to it. Its like being in purgatory, no longer a teenager, but still a year to go before I can legally get into many places. As for the kiwi-strawberry wine cooler, maybe they won’t take the empty bottle 30sec after I ask them not too, the next time. [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

This is pretty exciting news. While it may seem like a small step, this opens lots of doors, and can help to inspire new ideas or interest people in improving on this design.

Sounds great, but take two thigns into consideration:
1) E=mc^2, right every knows that one. But not everyone knows what it means. It says that matter can be convertered into energy and vise-sersa. To create a lasagne out of nothing (but signals) will require a lot of energy! I mean more energy then we could ever harness (at least anytime soon)
2) Cloning food also seems like a way to end world hunger. But people oppose it because it fake, its spliced, its not organic. Blah blah blah. So don’t expect everyone to accept it immediatly if it porves viable. Just like nuclear fusion. No one will accept it because it has the [i]N[/i] word in it. And since it produces radiation, it therefore must be evil in their eyes. (Cancer is treated with radiation, and radion nuclides are essential in some watches and most smoke detectors, but people quickly forget these examples, and instead remember TMI-2, Chernobyl, and nuclear weapons) I’m sure that in the stone age, there was some ignoramous who said “don’t use fire, it can be dangerous”, but s/he probably died a painful death of food poisoning; whereas the fire users ate cooked germ free food, and lived on. (only to die a more painful death from a saber tooth tiger, but thats besides the point)Well pt2 was pretty far along already, so its not that big a deal that another thread was started. I’d say lock the old thread and go with this new one. But he should know that this is something the mods typically handle.
Lexxstone has been causing a lot of trouble over at scifi.com/lexx recently. He’s only recently started posting here. His first post was a fortnight ago in my SG1 forum. Lexxstone hasn’t caused any trouble at sads yet, unless you count this infraction.
If your paranoid you could say that he’s testing his limits over here, I have let him say a few choice things about LEXX in my forum. Conversely you be optimistic and say he was trying to be helpful.So save the whips and chains for later, but let him know that starting continuationthread is for mods.
BTW, I still haven’t gotten my cat o’ nine tails yet.

Its never too late to come to uncon. Well at least until it ends. [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]
Right now we have to charge a door fee, so that we can rent a room, but it will be no more then Ca$3. We’re working on an idea now that will eliminate the fee all together.
1-800-air-4-less has great fares. But you can also try expedia.com or if your feeling lucky priceline.com

Ditto. RDA looks much better in Stargate then in MacGyver.
Sean Connery is another actor I can think of who has ageed great, and looks better now then before.I disagree. I haven’t been more excited for the rest of the season then I was sicne the pilot. This last episode had a great feel to it. They had a lot of location shots, and their building up a great story. If scifi had anything to do with changing the show, its looks to me like it was for the better.
They are addign a new show this week,. I belive it another show like Strange World. I.e. was on network tv for afew weeks, and got canceled halfway through.

That was one of my favorite eps. I loved all the pranks O’Niell pulled, and the one that Teal’c pulled. Remember throwignthe door into that guys face. Just as that dude did in all the other timeloops.
My favorite was when O’Niell was golfign into the Stargate, and general Hammond screms “what the hell are you doing” just as the loop ends.

You’re not alone
The uncon webpage has all the information on where to stay for uncon. [url=http://www.thefrey.com/unconaccomadations.htm]http://www.thefrey.com/unconaccomadations.htm[/url]
Dalhousie is the cheapest, but when I checked yesterday, theere was only 2 singles and a double room left.
Airfare will be the hardest to get. Despite what the news tells you, airfare has not “gone way down” since the 11th, but instead has gone way up. I fly a lot and I know how bad its gotten. I recommend 1-800-air-4-less or if oyu fell lucky priceline.com

Well he saved the world a few times as MacGyver and he had long borwn hair then. It ddin’t start to turn grey until after the two MacGyver TV movies.
I’m hesistant to say its the Stargate either bcasue Amanada Tapping and Micheal Shanks are still blonde.
I blame the gu’ould, or maybe old age.quote:

Not busy with college, college is out. I suspect he no longer has decent internet access and doesn’t go on as often.
It’s a problem that many of of us (but not us) were experincing last week. I have no explanation for this though.

Firefly, is that another Buffy spinoff?

Sure, but only under one condition, if they both moderate it together. They haven’t had any arguements recently, it could be a sign of new friendship on the sadboard.
Who am I kidding the irony alone is worth it!
[img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] 😛 [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
They would both make good mods, DT knows lots about scifi stuff, and Aleck about film stuff.No problem at all Sad, thank-you. Luckily I was accessing the sadboard just as it was being created. haha I beat you to making the first post nah nah [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]
On a more serious note, I thought you were going to wait until the new site came out before you added any tripping the rift stuff.

Yes I like the new time slot too. I would like it more if it were at midnight so that its not competing ith one of my other favorite shows, Homicide: Life on the Street (Court TV).
Lets face it, we all knew scifi would never show LEXX (the series) before 10pm. So I always suspected it would get the midnight or 1am slot. There’s no way they would move John Edward, one one there better rated shows, from the 11 and 11:30 slots.
Tales from the Crypt has been on there 12, 12:30 slots for months now, and has cycled through many times. With Lexx being at such a late time, competition is low, and scifi (and other networks in general) doesn’t mess with its late night scheduale too much. I think that it will reamin in that slot for a while. (hopefully)Have you heard of Lanxxcon 2? It been mentioned a few dozen times on this boarda nd the lexx bored.
Here’s one example:

Like Sad mentioned, you brought a different perspective to many discussions, which I believe helped to open others minds.
Good luck.
