I couldn't find a thread on this ressurected (sort of) show so i thought I'd start one. You remember the show from FOX that takes place in 5th century Ireland? Rome is attempting to gather this last stronghold of peoples under its mighty cloak but it up against Prince Conor (Heath Ledger) and his loose band of followers. Anyway, I recall really enjoying the show and am happy to see its lmited episode run return to TV. Sci-fi is airing the episodes in order and they are including I believe a half dozen shows that were never aired. If you missed it the first time (circa 1997), check it out Wed. nights at 10pm.

Sci Fi Channel has been showing pretty cool old shows lately suck as Kolchak: The Night Stalker, Battlestar Galactica, Galactica 1980, The Secret Adventures of Jules Verne (that was today's) & a few others that I keep missing during the day. I just wish they would pick a day for a specific show & stick with it.

Huh, I had no idea it was aired before on another network. I thought it was a totally new show. Though, in hindsight, Heath Ledger and his girlfriend who dies in the first episode both have careers that are too big for the sci-fi channel. Still, that tidbit is interesting.

Oh man, I wish this show was still on over here. It used to run VERY late at night. I'd love to see it again.

How many episodes were there? 6 or so?

Looks like around half a season, Mark. Eight (including the pilot) were aired on FOX back in the day and 5 more are going to see the light of day on Sci-Fi...

Seems like they have enough episodes and enough time to put together a nice little boxed set before the Holidays. Considering they're running the show (probably a couple of times through) you'd think they would capitalize on it (and their usual lack of companies scrambling for their air time) to run some commercials and sell some DVDs...

There were at least 13 episodes and since nobody here seems to
have seen the entire run except me (they ran the whole thing here
in Iceland) you'll be grad to know that the finale pretty much finishes
all major storylines.

Great finale btw!

 

[Napftor]

Glad to hear it, Bastard (does that look as bad as it sounds? ). Very much looking forward to these eps.

The finale is a bit rushed (not surprisingly) but has a good payoff.

And the solution to everyone's problems makes sense.
