A Little Sci-Fi For Friday...

I must admit that I have been in total <3 with the Sci-Fi channel lately...

First of all, they have picked up the next season of Doctor Who, which airs at the end of this month. Say what some of you might about Doctor Who, I love it. I grew up watching the old episodes on PBS and while yes, the monsters were rubbery (and in some cases made with bubble wrap of all things) and yes, many of the effects lacked a certain polish to them, it was a show that caught my attention.

Needless to say, I'm stoked.

The next item on the list is the return of BSG. The show returns in early October, however, Sci-Fi is releasing "webisodes" every Tuesday & Thursday from this week on to the premiere of Season 3. If you dig the show, click here to watch!

Also, the Season 2.5 box set is due out soon! Huzzah!

Finally, Sci-Fi is having a Firefly marathon on Sept. 18th. If you haven't seen Joss Whedon's Sci-Fi/Western epic series yet, you should. I had no idea about the show when it originally aired (mostly due to the fact that the network really didn't care about promoting or airing the show) but found myself caught up in it after borrowing a friend's DVD box set. It's really a damned shame that intelligent and entertaining shows such as this die a whimpering death. C'est la, I suppose.

Anyway, tons o' watching coming up in the next few months. Good thing I don't have a life or this would get tricky... Heh.
