But she did look fine…
I liked the original TV movie they made a few years ago. I mean, it wasn’t great, but it was decent.
The new one with Tamoh Peniket, however, is quite dull and a total waste.
This.
In the books, everybody started out speaking the language or languages they had known on Earth. However, the vast majority of Riverworld settled on Esperanto as their lingua franca.

Syfy channel had nothing to do with the making of this one. It was made for NBC, ABC, or CBS.
If I wasn’t drunk there would totally be a Sarah Palin joke here.
I’ve only seen one, I think. It was truly awesome. It is some dinosaur thing, I believe they were doing some sort of covert Jurassic Park thing and dinos were escaping and eating people.
It had Corbin Bernson (sorry, dude), Eric Roberts (?), and Girl With Big Fake Boobs.
Nerdy Scientist: You’re letting dinosaurs escape and eat people. I’m going to expose you to the police! You’ll be ruined forever!
Corbin: Well, you gotta do what you gotta do. Will you please swing by the T-Rex pens that have gates remote controlled from here before leave? KthanksBai.
Nerdy Scientist: Lalalalaa…wait a second. Here I am in front of the T-Rex pens with remote-controlled gates and the laser fence is off. That’s weird.
Corbin: Bahahaha! I’m so EEEEEEEEVIL!
Nerdy Scientist: Was that an impact tremor? Aaaararghghhggghghgh! I’m being eaten by a dinosaur! Apparently I’m smart enough to clone diosaurs but not smart enough to avoid being eaten by a trap that wouldn’t fool Corky!

It also had a late performance by Don S. Davis, operating a few notches below his SG-1 days.
I never got into Stargate (it’s one of those on the list and I’ll get to it eventually), but I recognized him,and that’s sad.

F-ing Awesome! Thanks!
I’d say the SciFi/SyFy Channel jumped the megashark when it added its own pro wrestling league to the lineup, if it had ever been any good in the first place.
A channel showing nothing but old SF/fantasy/horror movies and TV shows would be more worth watching.
Heck, a “Fandom Channel” – nothing but documentaries, journalism and talk shows about SF conventions and fanac – would be more worth watching.
I want this poster. Badly. 
Yeah, I saw the commercials for that during Stargate tonight. Looks bad, but I’ll watch it because of Jewel Staite.
My stupid cable program guide is listing The Mothman Prophecies instead of Mothman. I generally like my Verizon Fios service a lot, but there are always numerous mistakes like this in the program guide. It doesn’t affect the actual program shown, of course, but it can make it hard to find something when you’re using search and they have the wrong thing listed.
I’m not sure how to react. It had a few cliches, but maybe not enough to be cheesily enjoyable.
Watched Mothman last night. Wish I hadn’t. Spare yourselves.
Jewel Staite it is in, that might make it worth seeing…
Now don’t go throwing my words back at me! 
This is made up physics! Why do they claim the shark needed to dive to at least1500 meters to get up to launching speed. Why can’t it accelerate at 10 gs, or 100 gs for that matter, in a shorter distance? And who’s to say that its fins couldn’t add some thrust once it was already out of the water by acting as wings? And who’s to say it’s not a flying mega-shark, mostly hollow to make flying easier?
I mean, c’mon, let’s be real!
…okay, I just had to look this one up. (NSFW)
Holy crap!
Here’s the thing that annoys me about SyFy’s movies. They spend a little bit of money and waste some horrible CGI effects on boring stories. Sure, most are funny. I especially liked SS Doomtrooper or what ever that was called.
But they could spend the same money on some of the actors they use who, in some cases, aren’t really bad actors, and young directors, with scripts based on classic or new *real * sci-fi stories that its target audience would really enjoy. Like “Duel” or “Gargoyles” to use a couple of semi-famous examples that ABC made back in the day.
Of course, I may be misreading their target audience.
Then, again, it seems their event mini-series always seem to be lacking. I really wanted to like Tin Man and that Alice in Wonderland thing they tried, but they failed, too. I still like Eureka, though.
