Cool show. I think you should do more interview-free shows when you’re in deep-geeking mode.
Terminator:
Love the show, which is why I just read Fox may cancel it to help out Prison Break (!?!?!). The character development is great with the exception of the title character (still not much beyond brooding throughout the show). The Cameron line is really intriguing. And I agree the new “liquid” terminator is superfluous – except it was one of the few ways they could still keep the FBI guy engaged.
Fringe
Like the old scientist and son (they save the show), hate both agents (she reminds me of Claire Dane – something like animated cardboard), like the assistant. The “science” is fun, the plots are transparent – Spoiler: If only two people ever worked on a project, and one is your charge, the other one is involved. Duh!! Give it a few more times, and maybe the lead character will be infused with some sort of wonder drug that will make me care.
Chuck
Don’t know how long they can keep that premise going, but a fun watch. Casey (Adam Baldwin) had a chance to show me something but the plot never went there. The girl’s main import seems to be to model underwear, but it could be worse. I’ll keep watching a while longer.
Great show, and I agree the occasional cast banter in place of an interview is great.
You show is so much better without the interviews. This is why I look forward to the Voice Mail show more than the regular show. I’m sorry, but a lot of times I have no idea who your guest is or I just don’t care or they are dull. It’s like Top Gear; I love this show but if I am not watching it live, I fast-forward through their Stars in Cars, because I just. don’t. care. When I am listening to Slice of SciFi as a podcast, I tend to fast-forward through the interviews too. Sorry, love the show, but the interviews are blah most of the time.
New topic: on show #181 you were responding to a caller who said people should watch a few episodes because many shows take a few episodes to hit their stride. You recommended reading the forums and Slice of SciFi reviews to
know if a show is getting better. Here’s an idea, create a new feature with a line graph and viewer comments to graph if a show is getting better, worse, or remains constant (above or below Good). Kinda like a Market report for shows. I don’t think it would be hard to do.
Love the show (love it more without the interviews, but hey , to each his own.
Anyone else think the Australians colluded off the voicemail line before they sent their coordinated attack?
