And we are back at it

We are back at "You're a bad Stargate fan because you are not totally thrilled about SGU!" and "If you were a Stargate fan, you would give SGU a chance!" Well, since I dislike the actors, characters, plotline, setting and trailers - wouldn't that be a moot point?

SyFy is developing a new take on Alien Nation!

Tim Minear and SyFy Explore a New Alien Nation! Oh my, how I loved the TV series - the original movie not so much, to be honest - with Gary Graham and Eric Pierpoint! I love this quote by Tim Minear!

"It's genre mixed with procedural mixed with funny mixed with big, giant scary," Minear told Variety. "I love serialized stuff, but this is also a cop franchise. That Starsky & Hutch/Lethal Weapon buddy-cop comedy is absent from TV right now."

I couldn't agree more! Everything has to be "dark" and "deep" these days, there's no fun in shows anymore.

And wouldn't be the part of the human cop just perfect for Joe Flanigan? I mean, he did say that he was thinking of penning a show about a cop who would hunt alien criminals, didn't he?

Alan Dean Foster's "Star Trek", #69

This motion picture novelization wasn't as good as, say, Sally Malcolm's novelization of SGA's "Rising", but it wasn't bad. It must have been based on an early draft of the film's script because in the movie, some scenes were changed - and for the better, I must admit. The book offered some nice insight into the characters' heads, especially Kirk's, and some nice details (like explaining who George was) but the movie... flowed better, I would say, and the action seemed somehow denser.

I'm glad that some of the scenes were cut out because the thing that I disliked most about the movie - the Spock/Uhura relationship - was even more annoying in the book. The one female character was presented as an unprofessional love interest, she ran after Spock like a puppy and it was quite annoying. And together with the fact that she was Spock's student - ugh, it gave me the creeps.
