What's to watch in S&S/SciFi these days?

[Hand of Evil]

Spartacus (both) is good.

Chuck great spy show.

Now not S&S or Sci/Fi buy Justified has wonderful characters and writing. Steal NPC from it.

Soon? Terra Nova should be coming out May 2011, on FOX. This may be interesting as it has a big budget and FX, the concern...it is on FOX and just sounds like Land of The Lost. Save the human race by jumping in time back 85 million years ago...oops, we forgot about the dinos! Also, the big worry, producer (one of): Brannon Braga! the man loves his time line shows and screws them up.

Primevil and BBC Being Human are also good watches.

Sci-fi channel just has not been that good.

Sci-fi channel just has not been that good.

On soooo many levels.

Years ago, I made a prediction: Sci-Fi's presence on cable would lead to an overall increase in sci-fi/fantasy/horror shows on other networks, and that eventually, instead of just airing reruns of classic shows, they'd produce their own.

I think the former is true, and the latter definitely is. I just wish that their shows were better. nBSG was good, I'll grant them that. Ghost Hunters is occasionally interesting as well.

Overall, their sci-fi series are a little above average...but the movies? ARGH!

Even though it isn't sci-fi or fantasy, I am also liking "Lights Out" on FX.

Is the Starz version of Torchwood going to be a reboot or a continuation of the series?

I haven't watched W13 since mid season 1, I guess it just didn't grip me and some of the dialog and humor had a B-movie feel.

I watched Eureka for 1 season, but then there were too many other things I wanted to watch instead, and even though there was room on the DVR, I just never got around to watching again.

I tolerated 3 episodes of Sanctuary and never went back.

Good question!

Good question!

Judging by this article, it appears to be a continuation:

Maybe, maybe not firmly in the sci fi genre, but my son and I are enjoying Marvel's "Avengers" animated TV show on Disney XD.

I think someone added this link in another thread (thanks again) at some point but here it is again -

io9. We come from the future.

Good question!

Continuation with globalization. Jack and Gwen need some living partners. I was kind of hoping Freema would be back but it looks like she's still doing Law & Order UK for ITV. With adding American pieces to the crew (and locations) they also filmed the first two episodes of the new Series of Doctor Who in the US. A month and two weeks until our next River Song fix.
