So, ABC is going to remake Life on Mars for an American audience. I don't know what was wrong with the British version but it's coming here. And David E. Kelly (Boston Legal, Boston Public, Boston Common, Boston Underground, et al) will be producing it. Wait and see said the blind man.
Quote:David E. Kelley is writing and executive-producing Mars for ABC, about a detective who goes back in time to the 1970s. The Bionic Woman comes from David Eick (executive producer of SCI FI Channel's Battlestar Galactica), a "re-imagination" of the classic 1970s SF show that will focus on a woman's place in today's world.
Don't really care about the Bionic Woman. But she did familiarize me with Ojai.

Not one 'Aye aye, Captain'. Not one 'young wet bitches'. No super powers. I was so disappointed. At least Niki's sprung and I so knew that was Claire's dad.
I hated the Bionic Woman when I was a kid. I was a huge Six Million Dollar Man fan, at least until he fought the alien yeti (Lurch). Lurch shuold have kicked his ass. I think I'd enjoy the Bionic Woman now, tho. Angelina Jolie would make a great bionic woman.

I really enjoyed "Life on Mars" so I am worried about what is going to happen to it when it gets translated into American.
Lurch should have kicked his ass.
Angie could pretty much star in anything, and I would be for it. But she would have to wear the eye-patch and speak in an English accent, however, to ensure top quality.
My TV these days is comprised mainly of The Daily Show and reruns of The Avengers. I'm waiting for new episodes of The Venture Brothers, Stargate, and any anime that has music by Yoko Kanno.
In the Tudor Period, Fencing Masters were classified in the Vagrancy Laws along with Actors, Gypsys, Vagabonds, Sturdy Rogues, and the owners of performing bears.

Heroes: Origins? WTF is this? Sort of a Heroes/Survivor hybrid? Which superhero gets voted off the series?
Heroes has been milking it a bit for these last episodes, that's for sure. Sorry to see Malcolm eat it so suddenly. Will Hiro escape the Asian nerd stereotype in this season? Will we see Nikki in a thong again? Will Matt save Sydney from the Rimbaldi device? Will Mama Petrelli finally reveal her superpowers? Will Clair realize that she should start smoking and drinking like Wolverine? So many questions to be answered tonight, probably all with a big fat cliffhanger....

That was the worst Kendo scene ever! I was appalled it was on my television. But if I am going to learn Kendo in a couple of hours, I guess it should be from George.
I am going to be unhappy tomorrow. I don't want the series to go away for the summer. At least there is Lost to look forward to. Oh, wait.
Speaking of Milking . . . .

Quote:NBC has announced they are developing a spin-off of HEROES called HEROES: ORIGINS.
ORIGINS will center on characters not yet seen on the original show. NBC will ask viewers to pick their favorite character from HEROES: ORIGINS, who will then join the cast of HEROES the following year. Six episodes have been ordered.
The new show will air on Mondays in the same times slot as HEROES, when that show goes on hiatus.

Maybe it will catch Law and Order disease and be on five nights a week. I can only hope.
I saw that about Heroes:Origin. This year they had a huge fan drop off on some shows between the fall and spring because of long breaks. They are doing this in effort to stem the tide of declining viewership. It would probably help more if they just concentrated on making good shows.
Who's up for Bingo night?

Losing the Petrelli brothers removes a major dynamic of the show. Bringing them back in a Search for Spock sort of way would be lame. And no Nikki in a thong. I'm not sure I'll tune in next season. I'll probably skip Origins too.

Yeah, a bit anticlimactic. Lots of dead people. But how can you beat pulling out Malcolm McDowell's brain in the previous episode? Hmm?
Is Peter Dead? The game was for him to regenerate after he detonated. He'll just have to fall twenty or thirty miles through the atmosphere and then hope the little tiny left over pieces will join back up into a brand new Peter.
There's always Lost. It's finale was better than Heroes, despite the fact it's entire season was subpar compared to Heroes. At least Hurley got to be a Hero. Once again lots of dead bodies at the end of the episode. And a flash forward instead of a flashback. Those kids over at Lost are wacky.

Anyone who knows me knows I think AOL is a front for the devil, but this looks like it might be a fun source of cheesy entertainment. Legal and less expensive than buying or renting other DVDs to watch on the all-too-frequent plane rides...

So the man who played Syler ( and will continue to play Syler ) is also going to play Spock in the JJ Abrams movie. In case you are wondering, Nimoy will also play Spock. With two Spocks, there was no room for the Priceline Negotiator.

I missed the beginning of the episode. Why is Nathan still alive?

No reason as yet. But he is fucked up. And you saw the end, so you know something happened. The Petrelli's mom reminds me of another mom, though I can't think why.
A fine episode and I didn't miss the stripper one bit. Don' mess with the El Salvador chick is the lesson I learned.

Watched the premiere episode last night. Series apparently developed by Kevin Smith and someone else. Basically, upon turning 21 the hero learns his parents sold his soul to the devil before he was born. They never expected to have kids, but now that their eldest is 21, he's got to go to work for satan as a retriever of escaped hell souls.
A cross btwn Buffy and Dogma. Pretty fun. Of course now that I look it up on imdb, turns out Kevin Smith directed the first one. We'll see how it holds up with other directors.
