Did anyone watch defying gravity last night?

I did and I thought it was /ok/ I looked it up on wiki to find it doesn't appear to have a second season planned and ends on a cliff-hanger (so if you look it up watch for spoilers).

The Radio Times reviewer had it pretty spot on I thought - too much time and attention lavished on making it look good at the expense of producing a tightly written, believable script.

The tone and direction was all over the place as well, veering from soap opera one minute to oooh theres something nasty in the attic! the next. It was, as you say, /ok/ but unless it dramatically improves in the next week or two I won't bother following it to its conclusion.

Watchable but not compelling, I thought. I'm not keen on the jumping back and forth in flashbacks but I probably keep going for another couple of weeks.

I'd read that it was likely to be canned, so didn't bother with it.

It sounds like Dollhouse has been canned. Katee Sackhoff is going to appear on The Big Bang Theory, too.

If Dollhouse has actually been canned, then I hope they finish the story and not end it on a cliff-hanger like T:TSCC.

Well its just getting pulled off the schedule for a month or something.

Doesn't mean it will get canned but its looking likely.

The SyFy channel is making a US version of Being Human. Its ordered 13 episodes for later in 2010.

More episodes of Chuck are now looking certain - it seems there will now be 18 (or 19) episodes, and they may start showing in January [2010] rather than March.

Last i heard, they were going to show the planned 13 episodes, but were not happy with the ratings, so have pulled it for the November Sweeps, it should be back after them. Its not likely to get 22 eps ......

ABC have effectivly cancelled Eastwick, they have opted not to order any more eps, which is basically a death sentance for it.

It looks like the film 2012 maybe followed up by a TV series, set [after the events] in 2013. Plans are apparently in development.

Trailer for "Kick-Ass", from the same comic book writer as "Wanted".

Quote:

'Kick-Ass' tells the story of average teenager Dave Lizewski (Aaron Johnson), a comic-book fanboy who decides to take his obsession as inspiration to become a real-life superhero. As any good superhero would, he chooses a new name -- Kick-Ass -- assembles a suit and mask to wear, and gets to work fighting crime. There’s only one problem standing in his way: Kick-Ass has absolutely no superpowers.

I haven't seen much advertising for the new Day of the Triffids 2 part mini series on BBC.

Anyway it's on 28 / 29th of December on BBC 1 and BBC HD at 9pm both nights.

One of my most read stories ever, I am so looking forward to this.

Just as long as they dont wipe them out with sea water

Well I watched the old 50's one with Natalie last night, and realised how far off the book it was lol.

Still it was more than made up for by the original bbc TV production.

Which you can get cheap here.

Once you've seen the new production you may also want to read the sequel by Simon Clarke - Night of the Triffids
