Birthdays and Other Reasons to Celebrate

A Happy Birthday to William Shatner, the first Captain of the Enterprise. Bill is celebrating his 71st birthday this month. Anyone one who might be a fan of the A.B.C. show Boston Legal might want to know that it has been picked up for a 4th season. It is a great show to watch and see if you can pick out any other Star Trek characters who tend to pop up on Boston Legal from time to time. On another happy note to fans of B.S.G. the show has been slated for 22 more episodes for next season. This will also give the show enough episodes to be picked up in syndication. and Lastly, The trailer for the 3rd Pirates of the Caribbean is finally available to watch here. After viewing it a few times I think it will be the best one so far. Please write us with anything you heard out there in SciFi land. And we here at SCIFIPUNDIT will be happy to check in to it and post about it… Hope to see all our friends and fans at StarFest, April 20th thru the 22nd its going to be a great party!

I Second That Comment

I second the request Cheryl made about the wrestling on Sci-Fi. I really do not see a connection with science fiction. I also agree with the movies being produced for the Sci-Fi channel. I will be honest, I can’t even make it through the opening scenes of these movies. And yes we are working hard on preparing for Star Fest, which will happen sooner than we all think. Cheryl, Robert, and I are working on ideas for the balcony contest this year. If Cheryl has any say about it,we will win. But as we all know the competition is tough and grows tougher every year. I am also trying to convince my SCIFIPUNDIT partners to do a panel on a science fiction idea, but the quest goes slowly. In other news, a multi-player game much like World Of Warcraft is being developed for fans of BSG. I believe it will be huge for those who want to be a part of this critically acclaimed series. We will keep you updated on events in sci-fi and at Star Fest as they become available and hope to see you all there. …Oh and please don’t tell anyone but we are bringing booze.

Updates!

Battlestar Galactica has been renewed for a fourth season! YAY! Read more about it here. And this fall there will be a BSG game coming out for the Xbox and the PC. Extra cool.

Season 10.5 of SG-1 will be on Friday, April, 6, 2007. Catch a seek-peek here.

Stargate Atlantis will be returning to the SciFi channel on Friday, July 14, 2007.

Doctor Who returns to the BBC this spring. So we, here in the Colonies, will probably not see the Doctor until the fall.

Torchwood Season One has finished. The BBC says they will be renewing the series. However, the new episodes will not be out until 2008. In the meanwhile, will we see Torchwood here in the US? It seems that is still very much up in the air. Robert and I have watched all of the first season. If you can get your hands on the episodes, do. I stand by my original verdict. It’s good. I hope someday Torchwood will cross the pond to America.

Also, we here at SCIFIPUNDIT are feverishly preparing for Starfest in April. The website is being updated on a daily basis now. Check out it.

Lastly, I have one request of the SciFi channel. Would you be so kind as to forgo the wrestling show, please? Pretty please? I can forgive for all your transgressions in this matter. Why? Because you are good enough to bring us one of the best shows on TV as well as several other really good ones. And maybe if you could make better movies, too. Thank you.

Enterprise boldly goes to the Sci FI Channel

The ill- fated UPN series Enterprise has began running on the Sci-Fi channel, starting this week, beginning the 7th of January and running thru the 11th. The show was beginning to find its feet when the UPN network, now known as the CW network, decided that it didn’t need science fiction in its series lineup and now they have no shows of any real quality to show for itself. The show producers for Enterprise said UPN did nothing to help the series and seeing the things that are on there now, I believe it is true. Science Fiction has a tough time finding an audience on network television with the exception of NBC’s Heroes and ABC's Lost, which seems to be holding their audiences. Hopefully this trend will continue for some time to come as long as the scripts remain interesting. Battlestar Galactica is about to be signed for its 4th season and the announcement should come before the beginning of the second part of the third season returning in the later part of January. Ron Moore, co-producer of the BSG series is also working on a new show titled “Caprica”. "Caprica" deals with the humans of the colonies and what may have led up to the war between the cylons and humans. I think this show has definite possibilities for fans of BSG and political science enthusiasts alike, I just hope folks at the Sci-Fi channel can see the need for good television versus the B Movies they have produced and aired lately. We here at SCIFIPUNDIT hope you enjoy our blog and we will continue to keep you updated on the most recent developments in the science fiction and fantasy world. Another quick note for movie buffs, go see Night at the Museum. It is a very fun movie for the family and Ben Stiller is pretty good in it. If you have seen it or any other good movies lately please let us know here so, we can post about it.
