No release date- the interview was from May 2008, and at the time they were in the middle of Gemini Devision.<br /><br /><a href="http://wordwall.afterworld.tv/index.php">The Wordwall</a> is the best place to get up to date information. There's not a lot going on their right now, but it's the first place Season 2 info will be posted, most likely.<br /><br /><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/tv" rel="tag" class="techtag">tv</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/television" rel="tag" class="techtag">television</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/spoilers" rel="tag" class="techtag">spoilers</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/tv+strike+news" rel="tag" class="techtag">Writer's Strike is OVER!</a>AKA Delaneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05712265717649978844noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27613014.post-8764163743391938972008-09-14T09:34:00.002-04:002008-09-14T10:19:54.105-04:00What Would Have Happened on Sliders?"Sliders" was a great show that starred Jerry O'Connell, Cleavant Derricks, Sabrina Lloyd and John Rhys Davies (initially anyway). O'Connell played young scientest Quinn Mallory who discovered how to open wormholes that led to alternate realities. Early tests bring Quinn back to Earth, but when he changes a setting, they get stuck on an alternate Earth for a number of hours, the wormhole reopens and sends them all to another Earth. The first few seasons were good, then co-creator Tracy Torme started criticizing the show and David Peckinpah came in and changed the show's direction- and not really for the better. Characters were killed off, new ones brought in, and by the end, the only original cast member was Derricks- "Rembrandt Brown." Even Jerry O'Connell had left, replaced by someone who was supposed to have all of Quinn's memories but trapped in someone else's body. <br /><br />The last episode had the Sliders coming into a reality where they were worshipped and Sliding was some sort of religion. A psychic on this world had been watching them clairavoyantly and he's able to prove it by various paintings and his impossible knowledge of their previous slides. He warns them that the next slide would be there last. After a whole lot of hoopla and drama, Rembrandt slides alone after being injected with a virus that could stop the evil Kro-mags from taking over the alternate Earths and the remaining Sliders were left with an uncertain future and without a timer (as it gets destroyed). For a really good synopsis, <a href="http://earthprime.com/episode-guide/the-seer.html">read this</a>.<br /><br />Surprisingly, there's not a whole lot of information as to what would've happened should there have been a season six, but there are a whole lot of questions.<br /><br />From Earthprime.com:<br /><em>With all indications that the fifth season was the last, why promote a cliffhanger?<br /><br />In an online chat, Story Editor Keith Damron talked about a big-budget Kromagg battle royale that would use Geiger's combine technology to boot the Kromaggs off Earth Prime. It never came to be, and "The Seer" was produced in its place.<br /><br />According to the Dimension of Continuity, the cliffhanger was predicated by production and by executive producer Bill Dial in particular to make cancelling the show harder — because the Sci-Fi Channel essentially ignored production.<br /><br />The cliffhanger was the result of a production team attempting to fight back for having complete creative freedom over their stories, something Tracy Tormé had been fighting for since the beginning of the show.<br /><br />Cleavant Derricks wished to keep the show going and pushed for a cliffhanger himself. "I never think it should end with any kind of closure," he insists. "I think one or all of us will go on to slide. The thing about sliding — in all of our imaginations — is that once you start it is difficult to stop. I don't care what your goals may have been along the line, but once you start it's very hard to give up."</em><br /><br />I also read the Derricks thought that Prof. Arturo (Rhys Davies) should have returned for the 6th season as there was another episode that hinted Arturo and a double had switched places (or that the original had been forced to somehow), and it was the double that was killed, something that Tracy Torme had said as much during an interview.<br /><br />So there's not much out there- not that I've been able to find anyway- but the cool thing about Sliders is that the possibilities were endless, so it's fun to imagine what might've happened.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/tv" rel="tag" class="techtag">tv</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/television" rel="tag" class="techtag">television</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/spoilers" rel="tag" class="techtag">spoilers</a>AKA Delaneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05712265717649978844noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27613014.post-9555755230868372442008-08-12T21:14:00.003-04:002008-08-12T21:20:18.711-04:00What Would Have Happened on Journeyman...?There's a great interview over at <a href="http://www.aintitcool.com/node/37863" target="_blank">Ain't It Cool News </a>with Kevin Falls that discusses some of what would've happened had "Journeyman" not been cancelled.

They're all great- but the last one, between Daniel, Charlotte and Miles REALLY has my interest peaked. I wish there was a way to post it here, but for some reason it never works (why, Blogger, why ?!?).<br /><br /><br />Here's a link though, that will pop up in a new window: <a href="http://vids.eonline.com/services/link/bcpid1396519019/bctid1577995700">http://vids.eonline.com/services/link/bcpid1396519019/bctid1577995700</a><br /><br />So what do you think? What's Charlotte's back story? Child of a DI worker? I don't think so, only because you think she'd be out for Ben Linus as well...so this makes her situation all the more interesting.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Lost" rel="tag" class="techtag">Lost</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/season+4" rel="tag" class="techtag">season 4</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/season+four" rel="tag" class="techtag">season four</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/spoilers" rel="tag" class="techtag">spoilers</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Lost+finale" rel="tag" class="techtag">Lost finale</a><br /><br /><a class="techtag" href="http://technorati.com/tag/tv" rel="tag">tv</a> <a class="techtag" href="http://technorati.com/tag/television" rel="tag">television</a> <a class="techtag" href="http://technorati.com/tag/spoilers" rel="tag">spoilers</a>AKA Delaneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05712265717649978844noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27613014.post-77951072974064604442008-05-27T12:53:00.003-04:002008-05-27T13:20:38.982-04:00Moonlight- A Perhaps "What Would Have Happened" on Season 2I found this gem over at a forum that was discussed at "Moonlightcon" (I have no idea what this is, admittedly):<br /><br />1) Officially DEAD: Ryder, Lt.Carl, and ..brace yourselves...Sarah Whitley. Yep he said they are all done, though wouldn't reveal how they ended up gone...<br /><br />2) Simone, Josef's freshie, was to be a big part of the season, however the actress playing her failed to mention she's pregnant, so they're not sure about what to do with that.<br /><br />3) Beth IS indeed part of the French Royal bloodline and she does hold the key to the cure which is why she was kidnapped. He also said that because of this Beth CAN NOT be turned. Whether that means she can't because it wouldn't work or it can't because she would die was left up in the air...<br /><br />) The season was going to revolve around a group called "The Legion" who have been around forever. They are humans and THEY GAVE THE LIST TO TALBOT!!! They feel that the vampire population has gotten out of control in Los Angeles and needs to be reduced. They basically declare war with the vampires and IT IS SO ON! Lance & Coraline return and ask Mick to help. Basically he now only has one choice - fight with the vampires or fight with the humans. He said total vampire apocalypse would indeed be the case. One planned scene was having the L.A. River at night FULL with 100s of Cleaners taking on the Legion army - wow, can you just picture that???<br /><br />5) The bad news, and I must stress that this is *right now* and things can always change, so don't freak out too much, but... apparently Sophia refuses to move to New York for filming. Which means we would lose our Beth. As you can imagine we all started screaming that there was no point without her in it. I mean, I love our boys but theres no ML without MickBeth for me, personally. Lets hope they get to stay in L.A. after all or that Sophia will change her mind. AGAIN, nothings 100% right now, so please don't start emailing her, lol.<br /><br />This was from this forum:<a href="http://moonlightarmy.com/core/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=344">http://moonlightarmy.com/core/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=344</a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a class="techtag" href="http://technorati.com/tag/tv" rel="tag">tv</a> <a class="techtag" href="http://technorati.com/tag/television" rel="tag">television</a> <a class="techtag" href="http://technorati.com/tag/spoilers" rel="tag">spoilers</a> <a class="techtag" href="http://technorati.com/tag/tv+strike+news" rel="tag">Writer's Strike is OVER!</a>AKA Delaneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05712265717649978844noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27613014.post-77654684019619535832008-05-27T12:42:00.004-04:002008-05-27T12:50:47.037-04:00Ahhh....CBS Ye Knew Me- Not at All!Well, they tanked "Jericho" with sticking it at 10 on Tuesday nights, and now they've axed "Moonlight." You go, CBS. Let's see how many more viewers you can tick off. The only shows I'll be watching are "Ghost Whisperer," which I'm surprised has survived as long as it has, "How I Met Your Mother," (thank God someone had enough sense to renew that) and "Big Bang Theory." Someone else in my household may turn on "Survivor", but I won't be paying attention- I'm over that, big time. The rest of your shows aren't in the demographic that you want to win: ie, mine (CSI and all of it's spin offs and the other crap you've got on), but I see the logic (not) in cancelling a show that consistently pulled in decent numbers for a Friday night. If I didn't love HIMYM, I probably wouldn't stick around on Mondays either.<br /><br />When I can find it, I'll post info on what would've happened on "Moonlight" and any other cancelled shows ("Jericho" for one) that I can find info on. If there's a particular show you want info about- post it in the comments and I'll see what I can do.<br /><br /><br /><a class="techtag" href="http://technorati.com/tag/tv" rel="tag">tv</a> <a class="techtag" href="http://technorati.com/tag/television" rel="tag">television</a> <a class="techtag" href="http://technorati.com/tag/spoilers" rel="tag">spoilers</a> <a class="techtag" href="http://technorati.com/tag/tv+strike+news" rel="tag">Writer's Strike is OVER!</a>AKA Delaneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05712265717649978844noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27613014.post-75260857665117428152008-03-24T14:06:00.003-04:002008-03-24T14:18:36.468-04:00Yep, It's Official, CBS SucksAs many of you know, CBS cancelled "Jericho" but agreed to bring it back after fans sent in 40000 (that's right forty-thousand) pounds of nuts, inspired by Jake Green's response to the New Bern leader about their surrender in the season finale. Well, CBS listened and brought back the show for 7 whole episodes. There was a lot of confusion over its start date and the time- I swear I saw three different dates and times. And when it finally comes back, they banish it to 10 pm on Tuesday nights. Had it not been for random flipping on Saturday night, when they re-ran the season premiere, I would have missed it all together. Not that there's anything else on at that time worth watching, but seriously- it couldn't have been on at like Sunday at 9? I don't know about the rest of you, but I have kids to get up in the AM and by 10, I'm just plain tired. So I DVR the show. But that doesn't count in the ratings game.<br /><br />So, apparently we've got no one to blame but ourselves. We should've pushed ourselves to stay up past our bedtimes. Nevermind that it was apparently a huge download on bittorrent and Itunes. Nevermind that CBS put it in a sucky time spot when there were dozens of other spots it could've gone in because of the strike.<br /><br />So whatever CBS. If you even think about cancelling "How I Met Your Mother" I will wash my hands of you. I don't need to watch "Survivor" (in fact, I'm really kind of over and have been for several seasons, but the hubby likes it).<br /><br /><a class="techtag" href="http://technorati.com/tag/tv" rel="tag">tv</a> <a class="techtag" href="http://technorati.com/tag/television" rel="tag">television</a>AKA Delaneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05712265717649978844noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27613014.post-9803320480747035952008-03-09T19:10:00.003-04:002008-03-09T19:15:13.410-04:00An Update on "Angel" and What Would Have Happened....It's been a while since I posted a "What Would Have Happened" so here's what I learn about what would've gone down on Angel Season 6 had there been one.<br /><br />First, Wesley wouldn't have died, and the gang would've continued its evil fighting. There was talk of an episode that would've had Angel and Spike in drag, but most important, apparently Fred's soul was not destroyed as thought, and in an episode that would've featured Willow's character, she would have restored Fred's soul. Both Fred and Illyria would have been in the same body, which would have made for a really interested storyline with Wesley.<br /><br />So, there you have it. This can be found in some of the interviews and commentary on the Angel DVDs.<br /><br /><a class="techtag" href="http://technorati.com/tag/tv" rel="tag">tv</a> <a class="techtag" href="http://technorati.com/tag/television" rel="tag">television</a> <a class="techtag" href="http://technorati.com/tag/spoilers" rel="tag">spoilers</a>AKA Delaneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05712265717649978844noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27613014.post-79886973455033412912008-02-14T12:17:00.006-05:002008-02-14T12:33:34.453-05:00THE STRIKE IS....OVER. No joke!!<br /><br />And here's what's coming back with more episodes:<br /><br />"Lost" will go on a break after the March 13th episode and return April 24th (with what would've been the final 8th episode, but now is the start of the end of the season- though I don't know if we'll get another full 8 epis or not). HOWEVER, Lost will be moving to 10PM when Grey's Anatomy returns (does anyone really still watch that show? even the die-hards fans I know have been giving up on it). Come on ABC....really? 10PM? PUT IT BACK ON WEDNESDAYS. Hell, any day of the week would be good at 9.<br /><br />"Moonlight" returns April 11th with four new episodes. Sweet.<br /><br />Monday, Mar. 17 How I Met Your Mother (9 episodes)The Big Bang Theory (9 episodes)Two and a Half Men (9 episodes)<br /><br />Friday, Apr. 4 Ghost Whisperer (6 episodes)Numb3rs (6 episodes)<br /><br />And there are some other shows that will be returning, but I don't watch them so I'll leave you to check out the article over at <a href="http://www.eonline.com/gossip/kristin/detail/index.jsp?uuid=b163d6b8-3327-49da-b8d8-16696cec775d">Eonline.</a><br /><br /><br />Not returning as of today: "Heroes" (UGH- but may be returning late summer rather than late Sept like usual), "Pushing Daisies", "Chuck", "Gossip Girl",<br /><br /><br /><a class="techtag" href="http://technorati.com/tag/tv" rel="tag">tv</a> <a class="techtag" href="http://technorati.com/tag/television" rel="tag">television</a> <a class="techtag" href="http://technorati.com/tag/spoilers" rel="tag">spoilers</a> <a class="techtag" href="http://technorati.com/tag/tv+strike+news" rel="tag">Writer's Strike is OVER!</a>AKA Delaneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05712265717649978844noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27613014.post-44991738265821559292008-02-08T09:17:00.000-05:002008-02-08T09:42:41.088-05:00"Lost"- RevisitedSpoilers below: Ye have been warned.<br /><br />Despite the fact there are many answers we don't have, I find myself not really caring in light of some of the new mysteries we've been given in last night's episode, "Confirmed Dead". So, we now know that the new characters (whose introductions I really enjoyed, compared to the Nikki and Paolo fiasco- though they went out with a bang) are on the island for Ben. And they most definitely know about Dharma and the "lawyer" from Oceanic that visited Hurley in the institution last week is NOT working with Oceanic and is at least part of the mastermind behind the new group sent to the island. <br /><br />So new questions- why do they want Ben (my guess is someone found out and is not too happy about the 40 people he killed a few years back...my thoughts? There must be Dharma members on the outside who know that there's been no communication with the island, and they've been searching for it)? And why is Miles so particularly angry?<br /><br />-how the hell did a Dharma polar bear end up in the middle of a desert in Tunisia, and with a Hydra station collar?<br /><br />-do you really think Dan didn't know why he was crying about Oceanic 815?<br /><br />-Ben looked like he was telling the truth when he said he didn't know what the smoke monster was...but do you think he was?<br /><br />-Will Miles be able to sense or see Jacob?<br /><br />-Why doesn't Ben just keep his mouth shut? Do you think he secretly feels a need to be punished for his past crimes, or has a death wish? I mean, does he really think that his snarky comments won't get him beat up? <br /><br /><br />-On rewatching the premiere, "Jacob" was indeed wearing white tennis shoes, and was obviously in the form of Jack's father- but why? He could've appeared to be anyone to Hurley, as he wouldn't know Jack's father, so why that particular form? And who's eye was that? I don't think it was Locke, the face wasn't right. But it did kind of look like Mikhail (even though he's supposedly dead).<br /><div> </div><div>And, not really related to last night's episode, but kind of- I had the craziest "Lost" dream last night, in which nearly all of the survivors, with the exception of Kate, Sawyer and a couple of others were dead in the "war" (mentioned in the voiceover for next week's episode), and the bodies had all been put into a Dharma station that they were getting ready to explode so as to bury the bodies in a mass grave. Then I woke up feeling like I hadn't watched last night's episode yet and had to remind myself several times that I hadn't missed an episode, LOL.</div><br /><br /><a class="techtag" href="http://technorati.com/tag/tv" rel="tag">tv</a> <a class="techtag" href="http://technorati.com/tag/television" rel="tag">television</a>AKA Delaneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05712265717649978844noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27613014.post-19509085171862179272008-02-08T09:12:00.000-05:002008-02-08T09:17:11.172-05:00Strike UpdateIt's hard to sort through all the double-talk that goes on surrounding the strike and the media black-out, but here's what it sounds like to me. The studios and writers have come to a verbal agreement, but nothing is on paper yet. The official contract should be forthcoming in the next few days/week at which point it could still be rejected. If it's not, though, and the strike is called to an end in the next week or two, some shows, particularly sitcoms and a few dramas (no, I don't know which ones) may be able to salvage some of the remainder of the TV season.<br /><br />So there's hope- keep your fingers crossed that things will end quickly and maybe we'll be able to get a couple more episodes of "Lost".<br /><br /><br /><a class="techtag" href="http://technorati.com/tag/tv" rel="tag">tv</a> <a class="techtag" href="http://technorati.com/tag/television" rel="tag">television</a>AKA Delaneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05712265717649978844noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27613014.post-56134093443021103342008-02-04T09:37:00.000-05:002008-02-04T09:40:44.314-05:00Afterworld NewsFor those that have been watching on Budtv.com, you've probably seen up through episode 130, and know whether Russ' wife and daughter survived the fall. But, you also know that we were left with something of a cliff-hanger. Don't despair! More episodes are slated to begin in late spring. Check out <a href="http://www.afterworld.tv/">www.afterworld.tv</a> and there you can read Russ's journal (which, you'll want to keep an eye on for an entry that comes after epi 130- though this won't be up until after all the episodes have aired on youtube and myspace).

It's pretty cool- though maybe not working quite right- I made it pretty far through the first round, refreshed the screen because I thought I was missing something and lost nearly all of my progress (and I had registered too!).<br /><br /><br /><br />From <a href="http://www.aintitcool.com/">http://www.aintitcool.com/</a> as originally reported in Entertainment Weekly :<br /><br /><br />From the mouth of Matthew Fox:<br /><br /><br />"* Fox says at least one “decoy ending” was shot for season four.<br />* Fox was told who’s in the casket.<br />* Jack wanted to get everyone off the island but couldn’t, which explains much of his third-season-finale angst. (Kristin Veitch at E! said a few weeks ago the four other escapees were Jin, Sun, Sayid and billionaire Hurley.)<br />* The survivors who make it off the island become celebs.<br />* When asked if season four will deal with time travel, Fox says yes. “What is this island? Where is this island? When is this island?” are the questions Fox says the audience is dying to know.<br />* Fox suggests there may not be any more survivors suddenly promoted, like Nikki and Paulo, to major characters.<br />* “I'm telling you, the story is going to charge and move rapidly in the next 48 episodes,” Fox tells EW. “One of the knocks on the show is that it hasn't moved fast enough. Part of that was because [co-showrunner Damon Lindelof] felt like he didn't know when to let it go. Now he knows when to let it go.” "<br /><br /><br /><br />Ask Auseillo at TVguide says there are likely to be two deaths instead of one, in the premiere, and that might not be all.<br /><br /><br />Billboards (real ones, mind you) are popping up all over the world for Oceanic Air:<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IZmOnGtqS2s/R4OLawkYIuI/AAAAAAAAABA/twSiE0n5cEA/s1600-h/oceanicbillboard.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5153115690472317666" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IZmOnGtqS2s/R4OLawkYIuI/AAAAAAAAABA/twSiE0n5cEA/s320/oceanicbillboard.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />And Oceanic Air has issued the following press release:<br /><br />Oceanic Airlines announced today their return to the airways. Beginning December 31, operations and flights to nine markets will resume, “Taking You Places You Never Imagined.” Destinations include:<br />Los Angeles, CA<br />Tustin, CA<br />Ames, IA<br />Miami, FL<br />New York, NY<br />Portland, OR<br />Knoxville, TN<br />Seoul, South Korea<br />Sydney, Australia<br />“We are very eager to resume flying and apologize for any inconvenience our temporary closure may have caused our loyal customers,” said Michael Orteig, President, Oceanic Airlines. “Oceanic Airlines is proud to be a top tier flight provider and looks forward to providing travelers with many more years of unparalleled service.”<br />About Oceanic Airlines<br />In business for over 25 years, Oceanic Airlines is a major airline carrier and offers the highest caliber of service for international and domestic flights. Destinations include Los Angeles, London, Sydney and South Korea.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Notice anything funny about their new destinations? That's right- it's where Lost's major players are from.<br /><br /><br /><br />"Watch With Wanda" also reports that 1) we should trust in "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" and "DON'T PANIC." 2) We are "getting played" and 3) "Just because we're getting flash-forwards does not mean we learn now how it all turns out. Being at the "beginning of the end" means we're actually smack in the middle of the story. All the happily (n)ever afters for our Losties are not going to be revealed in this here second act of the story, so y'all just simmer down now! There's still plenty at stake."<br /><br /><br /><br />So, if Time Travel really is involved (a la Desmond's flashes) then maybe Desmond is the key to saving them all. Or, perhaps Jack will figure out that the flashes they have been getting aren't just memories but forays into the past/future where he'll be able to changes things.<br /><br />Weigh in- what do you think about these spoilers/bombshells?<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a class="techtag" href="http://technorati.com/tag/tv" rel="tag">tv</a> <a class="techtag" href="http://technorati.com/tag/television" rel="tag">television</a>AKA Delaneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05712265717649978844noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27613014.post-9213434855186619932007-12-20T18:18:00.001-05:002007-12-20T18:25:39.092-05:00What the...seriously? The 4400 cancelled?Seriously, this week sucks. TV sucks. First "Journeyman", which has been freakin' awesome the past few weeks (which has not officially been cancelled, but I have NO HOPE when it comes to the networks these days), but now Watch With Kristin is reporting that "The 4400" and "The Dead Zone" have been cancelled. What the hell????<br /><br />I really do support the writer's strike- but I can't help feeling that they're starting to burn their own asses. Are all of these shows being cancelled because it's the AMPTP's subtle way of controlling the situation and hoping that it'll scare the writer's into settling? It seems a lot of these shows would've been given more of a cancel were they able to continue airing (esp. "Bionic Woman" which will probably be not coming back either).<br /><br />So, I put this out there to all TV viewers, like me. DO NOT WATCH REALITY TV. No "Clash of the Craptastic Choirs" no "D-List Celebrity Apprentice". Just don't watch it. Eventually, the networks will have to start pushing the AMPTP to make a real deal, because if we don't watch, the advertisers will pull their ads, and they'll start losing money. Serious money. It's the only way they'll talk.<br /><br /><br /><a class="techtag" href="http://technorati.com/tag/tv" rel="tag">tv</a> <a class="techtag" href="http://technorati.com/tag/television" rel="tag">television</a>AKA Delaneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05712265717649978844noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27613014.post-52268159697962520392007-12-12T08:05:00.000-05:002007-12-12T08:09:14.369-05:00AfterworldI've noticed some incoming searches wondering if "Afterworld" is cancelled. If youtube and myspace aren't airing new episodes daily, go to <a href="http://www.budtv.com/">www.budtv.com</a>. There you can watch up through episode 92 and they do indeed show a new episode every day (part of their deal with Budweiser). There are only 130 episodes slated- not 500 as some have reported. The 130 episodes were going to be broken into 3 seasons, and are on myspace and youtube, but there is no separation or lag between episodes on budtv.<br /><br />So, obviously Russ makes it home (he's the narrator from 3 years in the future), but is his family going to be there? Is the Walker going to become the new world order that Russ has been hoping for- the group that embraces the new world and is grateful for the second chance?<br /><br />Weigh in with your opinion/theories!<br /><br /><br /><a class="techtag" href="http://technorati.com/tag/tv" rel="tag">tv</a> <a class="techtag" href="http://technorati.com/tag/television" rel="tag">television</a>AKA Delaneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05712265717649978844noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27613014.post-3723877558325817502007-12-12T08:01:00.000-05:002007-12-12T08:05:13.123-05:00Save JourneymanWith any show that's introducing a mythology, it takes time. With "Journeyman" I've enjoyed this show from the get go- and even more so now that we're learning more about what might be driving our time travelers. If you enjoy this show as much as me (or if you haven't seen it, check it out!!), voice your support. Go to <a href="http://savejourneyman.net/">http://savejourneyman.net/</a> and see what you can do to support this show.<br /><br /><br /><a class="techtag" href="http://technorati.com/tag/tv" rel="tag">tv</a> <a class="techtag" href="http://technorati.com/tag/television" rel="tag">television</a>AKA Delaneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05712265717649978844noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27613014.post-54950421305308642162007-11-27T10:05:00.000-05:002007-11-27T10:27:36.084-05:00TV News: Heroes, Chuck, Strike NewsI'm sooo nervous about next week's "Heroes". WWK (Watch With Kristin on eonline.com) reports that one death is final, one is uncertain and one will be coming back- but says that if the uncertain death sticks, fans will have a cow. My guess, either Peter or Hiro would be the two that fans (including me) will freak out about. And, nope, HRG's "death" is not one of these three.<br /><br />But, a small rant...seriously, does Peter not realize Adam's evilness? I know he believes that everyone is good, but COME ON. Dude, wise up. We are talking about Sark after all...<br /><br />And I'm super psyched to report that "Chuck" has received a full season pick up (!) but that "Bionic Woman" and "Journeyman" are in serious trouble. I'd like to see both of these shows get a shot- especially "Journeyman" because I feel it's a really great show. I love when everyday people get thrown in these fantastical situations. "Bionic Woman" needs help- more focus, more "mythological" type story line. Apparently character Sara Corvis is gone as the actress has quit the show (not a lot of love goin' on between her and Michelle Ryan).<br /><br />And, on a happy front, the WGA has gone back into negotiations with the AMPTP and according to one insider, the deal is nearly done. Some feel the strike was forced by the AMPTP because the initial offer was laughable at best, but really, what good has it done, other than to make the AMPTP look like a bunch of jerks. So, keep your fingers crossed, and maybe we'll get our new shows in the spring after all.<br /><br /><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/tv" rel="tag" class="techtag">tv</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/television" rel="tag" class="techtag">television</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27613014.post-84975223788256438872007-11-19T12:39:00.000-05:002007-11-19T12:41:24.604-05:00Check out the "Labels"Quickly find news on your favorite shows, and use the "What Would Have Happened..." to find out all about what would have happened on your favorite cancelled show.<br /><br />And, if your show isn't listed- shoot us an e-mail and we'll see what we can find!<br /><br /><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/tv" rel="tag" class="techtag">tv</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/television" rel="tag" class="techtag">television</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27613014.post-16457039129474508292007-11-16T08:29:00.000-05:002007-11-19T12:37:03.665-05:00Hayden's Arrest WarrantThe Japanese government has issued an arrent warrant for Hayden Panettiere of "Heroes" for interferring with fisherman who had captured a pod of dolphins in their nets. Hayden and several friends tried to get the fisherman to free the dolphins in a situation that apparently became quite dangerous. Eventually they had to give up and the dolphins were slaughtered.<br /><br />Perhaps I'm overtired, but this story makes me cry. Dolphins are probably one of the most amazing creatures on Earth. Just recently there was a story about a surfer whose life was saved by dolphins when a pod surrounded him in the ocean after he was severely attacked by a shark. Why'd they do it? We'll never know- but there's probably not another wild animal that would have done the same thing.<br /><br />So poo on the Japanese government and a big YAY!!! to Hayden and her friends who tried to do something right. Just don't go back to Japan anytime soon.<br /><br /><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/tv" rel="tag" class="techtag">tv</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/television" rel="tag" class="techtag">television</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27613014.post-54444048975900604252007-11-13T08:23:00.000-05:002007-11-19T12:37:03.667-05:00A Great Night For TVOMG- "How I Met Your Mother" was in top form last night- rivaling in laughs the episode of "riends" "The One With All the Secrets" (which, may or may not have been the title of that episode, but the one I've come up with describes it pretty well). For those "Friends" fans- you'll remember that episode of where all of the characters revealed a dark secret about one another. I had never laughed so hard during an episode of any TV show until last night. HIMYM was absolutely stinkin' hysterical with each character revealing to another someone else's worst habits after the gang reveals to Ted that his newest girl talks incessantly- never letting anyone get a word in edgewise. It was as good an episode as the original "Slap Bet" episode.<br /><br />"The Big Bang Theory" also had a good showing last night- admittedly, I didn't really care for the show when it first started, I was still smarting over the cancellation of "The Class" which had gotten REALLY funny (especially the whole diet=adultery episode). But it's definitely finding its way.<br /><br />"Heroes" had a great episode last night with the promise of an exciting episode coming next week. Anybody else wondering if Peter's "escape" with Adam wasn't planned all along by the company? And just how is Adam going to save the world...what exactly is his plan? UGH!!! I just want to know, and sadly, I don't think that we're going to find out this year should the strike continue. Coming up next: a beach showdown with HRG, Claire, Elle, Bob, Mohinder and (I think) West. Could be it that even though we assumed that HRG was the dead guy in Isaac's painting- but could it be Bob? He does wear glasses, and it certainly didn't look good for him in last night's preview. HOWEVER- and this is a pretty big HOLY CRAP picture, so <a href="http://tvblog.ugo.com/index.php/tvblog/more/big_fat_heroes_spoiler/">look only if you dare</a>.<br /><br />"Journeyman" keeps getting better and better. I really hope this show sticks around. Last night, Dan's past started to catch up with him in many ways, and we learned when Livia actually comes from. Also, things don't look good for Dan's future in terms of travelling- Livia warns him that the jumps will likely become longer and longer, and we learn now that there's a possibility that he could jump somewhere and never return to his own time (though Livia never broached the possibility that her last jump that kept her in the late 80s was really an extended jump because of Dan- after all, she had to become a "real" person in order for them to meet, fall in love and become someone that he would trust when he started his own travelling). Sadly, I'm unable to find any spoilers about upcoming episodes.<br /><br /><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/tv" rel="tag" class="techtag">tv</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/television" rel="tag" class="techtag">television</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27613014.post-70312082289697139272007-11-12T19:54:00.000-05:002007-11-19T12:37:03.682-05:00"Entertainment Tonight"- a ventSo, I don't know if the strike is affecting this show or not...but holy crap- it's terrible! Not that ET was ever the height of "news" shows (it particularly got on my bad side after the whole year of "Anna Nicole Exclusives"), but I swear, they used to have cool entertainment stories. Spoilers, upcoming movie news...but now, it's about how Donny Osmond picked the suit for his father's funeral and whether this will hurt Marie's chances of winning "Dancing With the Stars". WTF ?!? I can't stand it. I mean...is this the best we can do for entertainment news? Is it only going to go downhill from here if TV continues to be shut down?<br /><br />Oh- and if you're in support of the writer's plight- <a href="http://www.petitiononline.com/WGA/petition.html">sign the online petition</a>.

Personally, I think they just have a lot of story to tell, and it takes a while to get there. Consider it like a novel- you have to get through the first few chapters in order to get to the action-y good stuff.<br /><br />So what's going to happen on upcoming episodes? Monday, 11/12, we'll see what happened right after Nathan flew off with Peter. Nathan was severely burned, and somehow miraculously cured (there is the storyline that tells us Claire's blood may hold the key to stopping the new strain of the hero-killer virus, so maybe that's what helped Nathan). It's also rumored that this new "cure" may be able to help some dead heroes too...It's possible that DL survived the shooting, but actually died inadvertently because of something Nikki did. We'll also see how Peter came to know Adam and Electric Elle, and how Adam has convinced him that they need to do something to save the world (which, knowing that Sark- uh Kensei- has had 400 years to stew over losing his princess to Hiro, it's probably going to be something that will, say, kill off 93% of the world's population).<br /><br />Should the strike not reach a resolution soon, the 11th episode could possibly serve as a season finale. An alternate ending has been shot just in case.<br /><br />There are also reports that two heroes will die, and one will come out of the closet, so to speak. Someone who previously has shown no powers now will be.<br /><br /><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/tv" rel="tag" class="techtag">tv</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/television" rel="tag" class="techtag">television</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27613014.post-51808501689302402622007-11-09T13:07:00.000-05:002007-11-19T12:37:03.659-05:00The Coolest Thing You Probably Aren't Watching on the Internet"My name is Russell Schumacher. I sold technology to the world back when there was technology...and people to sell it to."<br /><br />And so starts the internet show "Afterworld" which can be seen on Youtube, Myspace and Budtv.com. The latter the best- you can see up to episode 70, which new episodes released every business day.<br /><br />The premise is fairly simple, in the beginning anyway. Russell leaves his wife and daughter in Seattle and travels to New York City for a business trip. When he awakens the next morning, he discovers there is no electricity and very few people. Clearly something strange and horrific has happened, but no one knows what. <br /><br />Here's the first episode:<br /><br /><object width="375" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/zy9v7etZG74&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/zy9v7etZG74&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="305"></embed></object><br /><br />If you are over 21, I recommend signing up at <a href="http://www.budtv.com">www.budtv.com</a>. The episodes run anywhere from 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 minutes- easy to watch on a lunch break or when you need a little time out. And it's addictive and creepy- you can't ask for much more (other than longer episodes).<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/tv" rel="tag" class="techtag">tv</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/television" rel="tag" class="techtag">television</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27613014.post-74032494072214139622007-11-09T12:47:00.000-05:002007-11-19T12:37:03.683-05:00More Strike NewsWell, nothing's happened that's terribly exciting other than more and more shows shutting down, actors walking offset (Steve Carrell wouldn't cross the pickett lines because he's a WGA member and so no more "Office" being shot)...it's not good for anybody.<br /><br />In an interview with Damon Lindenhof over at eonline.com (Watch With Kristin), Lindenhof told Kristin Veitch that they've got 8 episodes filmed, and the eighth episode ends with as much conclusion as the episode where Michael shot Ana Lucia and Libby- in other words, a major "Holy $&$# WTF did I just see??!?" moment. A cliffhanger that might not be resolved until the following season.<br /><br />Uh...great. Come studio execs give the writers some more GD money so we can get back to our programming!<br /><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/tv" rel="tag" class="techtag">tv</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/television" rel="tag" class="techtag">television</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
