Well the first episode was awesome. A bit farscape, a bit Firefly, a bit Andromeda. I like the fact they are all bad-ass criminal murderers and pirates.

 

Why did they not show who Jodelle plays. Nice little mystery there.

 

Hope it doesn't get cancelled too soon.

 

 

Yes interesting the young girl wasn't part of the crew info.. maybe a stow away?  Was surprised when I looked her up on IMDB that she has been in SG-1, Atlantis and Supernatural, all shows I watch... and it was her in that painting from Atlantis someone else posted earlier in the thread :p

farscape wasn't a very serious sci fi show was it? it had some really weird characters and some really stupid ones too. I never felt anything for the characters, also the main baddie was very camp. I hated it when sg1 added the two far scape actors they turned the show into a joke and it was never the same....

 

sg1 seasons 9+ went downhill...the ori weren't menacing at all, the goa'uld were badass.

 

 

p.s. i still watch sg1 & farscape every now an then, just to remember what they were like. They are far from unwatchable but not classic imo.

I thought farscape's characters were its greatest strength, they were great, and Scorpius is one of the best sci-fi villains ever IMO

I didn't mind it, entertaining enough although none of the charm and quality characters of say firefly.

 

Would have been nice if they mixed the characters up a bit. For a seasoned sci fi person tell me you couldn't half guess the characters based on their look and there first moments.  Ah the eccentric kid has visions, oh sorry dreams.  Asian ninja...didn't see that coming.  The gun loving tough guy is an out for himself jerk, thats never been done before.

My thoughts too. It was very predictable and formulaic. Not a patch on what they did with Stargate,,,

It'll still be a good watch, as long as they keep the storyline bloat free, and not load it full of crap like they did to Universe. They pushed it too fast, too hard.

 

Though, I like the story behind it so far, pirates with amnesia, sounds kind of good. It's a flip from Stargate, Good guys vs bad guys, now it's bad guys against good guys.

After episode two I am not sure I want to continue  :/

 

She was cute though :p

 

I agree with you on the cute, I most certainly IMDB'd her.

 

I'm still going to watch though.. it's the off season for most things atm so I have the time.  All I'm watching atm is Defiance, Dark Matter, Halt and Catch Fire, and rewatching X-Files.

Did the Android wear a spacesuit to shield herself from the gamma radiation. She did say she didn't need the oxygen? I love how Zoie Palmer is playing it.

 

Also, great episode. We still don't know who Five is - although wikipedia calls her Das

Yes, really enjoyed season 1.  Very solid start.  I like the slow reveal of their backstories, I like the two chicks, and the Android plays the part well.  I like Roger Cross being a "good guy" unlike Continuum although that season finale raises questions about him!~  This show and Defiance have had really strong seasons.

Yep solid season, was never a doubt in my mind this was getting renewed.

Surprised Killjoys got renewed but good to see SyFy giving shows a chance to find its space legs.

My fav thing about this show is how the Android can go from being Terminator with lighting reflexes to getting taken down by a bullet or a Taser at the most convenient times.

    • Nvidia's GeForce NOW summer sale drops prices for Ultimate and Premium memberships

      By AndrewSteel · Posted

      Not such a great deal, Ultimate, which gives you full 5080 features is $181.99 CAD per month, that's $2183.88 per year, I can buy the 5080 for $1809.99 CAD, then it goes up to $279.99 per month after the first billing cycle. Typical cloud rental, costs more than buying the hardware.

      Wow, spoken like a true blind hater, you don't even provide arguments. Please, go check my comment above to @seacaptain and you'll find out why what you say doesn't make sense in this context...

      Get used to this, with AI tooling now uncovering new vulns and getting them exploitable far faster than has ever been possible before software is going to need to be updated far more frequently. Back in the day it may take reseachers weeks or months to do what AI can now do in hours. Once its a threat is discovered it's weaponsized far more quickly, meaning you simply can't be waiting 2, 3, 4 weeks to deploy a patch, it needs to be patched immediately. Going to be interesting handling this in the enterprise space where traditionally patching has been steady, but very staged (and rightly so up until now), that is going to have to change.

      You don't need to "close all browser sessions constantly" or wait for updates to install. The updates download in the background while you use the browser, without interrupting you, they install automatically the next time you launch the app. And they install very fast (depending on your storage speeds, of course), you have to wait at most 2-3 extra seconds, if any. Seems like you haven't used Edge in a loooooooong time...
