SyFy watchers: ready for Eureka, Warehouse 13 and the new Alphas tonight?

[Flaxbee]

Starting at 8 - Eureka; 9 - W13; 10-11:30 - Alphas

I have to say, I really don't like W13, Claudia irritates the daylights out of me and the special effects have been super-crappy. But I'll give it a try, ever hopeful that they'll do something interesting.

Eureka is usually ok, though again, missed opportunities and very formulaic with issue resolution.

Alphas - well, I love David Strathairn (he'll always be Whistler to me from Sneakers) so I dare to hope it'll be good.

Anyway, happy viewing! :hi:

1. Looking forward to W13. I love Claudia. She's everything I want to be.

So I guess we probably wouldn't get along too well :) I'm with you about the special effects though.

2. Claudia irritates me too, I so don't watch WH-13. But I loved the epi of Eureka just now.

:D

Summer shows are sooo much better than when I was a kid....

4. oh, damn, I thought Alphas kinda sucked.

What did everyone else think?

[Tikki]

5. I'm watching it right now....

I think we need to give it some time...
These are complex interactions....sometimes it works...
other times...meh...

6. yeah, I'll definitely give it time ... because I like science fiction shows.

But - this just didn't really impress me. My husband left halfway through. x(

[Tallulah]

7. I liked it

I can't believe I said that. I don't usually like the new shows but this one I did. It was plausible, good acting, good actors. I think I'll watch a few more.

I taped Warehouse 13. Not my favorite either but it's interesting enough to keep me watching.

8. I remember the good ol days of the sci-fi channel with Farscape and The Invisible Man

and even Battlestar and Caprica - but these days it is a sad, pale version of its former self. a real shame. can't say i watch anything on there anymore.

they had a choice between taking the excellent mini-series The Lost Room to series or Warehouse 13. they chose poorly.

11. WTF??? Caprica is cancelled???

I liked Zoe


It was the only series worth watching, slick production...well, besides The Walking Dead

...and AMC cancelled that too!? That really sucks. Best zombie killing series of all time.

[Baclava]

13. check that - - The Walking Dead will be coming back later this year

15. Yeah I was soooo disappointed when they cancelled Caprica - by far their best show

The final ep of Caprica had an epic ending showing where the show would have gone over the next year - really powerful. It joins the ranks of shows like Odyssey 5, The Adventures of Brisco County Jr, and Firefly in the one season of awesomeness category. (Check out Odyssey 5 if you haven't already - some of the best sci-fi you will ever see - and stars Peter Weller.)

Yeah I saw your other post and indeed The Walking Dead is returning for another season this fall - 13 episodes this time instead of just 6. Right now I think the best sci-fi on TV is not on the Syfy channel which only cares about money - NOT quality sci-fi anymore. Doctor Who and Torchwood are ruling the sci-fi universe right now IMO.

9. hello no. sci fi is dead and syfy helped kill it

i fucking hate that channel now. =(

[slay]

16. I agree 100%. Doctor Who on BBC America and Torchwood on Starz are the best sci-fi these days IMO

Not surprising they aren't on the "Syfy" channel which only gives a shit about money - NOT quality sci-fi.

[meow mix]

17. yeah, and thank goodness for thier battlestar rerun.

bbc has been great =)

[WillParkinson]

10. We'll be watching Warehouse 13...

We liked the shows we saw and I can't wait to see Mr. Ashmore playing a gay character (again).

[dembotoz]

12. loved wh 13, was happy with Eureka, Alphas not so much

maybe if they were not all put on 1 night

had other stuff to do.

but god i love wh13

[masonjason22]

14. Tivo

I'll check it out (may have to tivo it)

[WolverineDG]

18. I love W13 AND Claudia!!

And I love Eureka too! I'm so glad the shows are back for new seasons!!

Didn't get a chance to check out Alphas because I had to get up early today, but I'm sure it will be repeated during the week & available On Demand.

19. What kinds of shows would you like to see

on SYFY?

Do you like "non-fiction" science shows? Or do you just want more Scifi?

If you were the programmer, what kind of show would you do?

Me? I like Science Fiction!! Though I do like well-done "Science". I lurves me some Neil deGrasse Tyson & Michio Kaku . . .

[Tikki]

20. Eureka is the show nearly everyone...

could enjoy if they could get over their...I couldn't possibly like Sci-Fi.
