SF Signal: Tube Bits for 05/05/2008

Tube Bits for 05/05/2008

It's been rumored before that Firefly would be making the jump to Blu-Ray . Now, you can pre-order it over at Amazon, and probably just about anywhere else. Sadly, no info on what 'bonus' features will be available.

Sci Fi Japan brings us part 3 of their Speed Racer retrospective: Mach Go Go Go comes the US. As a bonus, they have pictures of the voice actors for the American version. Nice.

Buddy TV wonders if Galactica is lost in space, again? The gist: Is it worth it to have many interweaving major plots ongoing at the same time? The writer expresses 'blind faith' in Ronald Moore. I don't share that faith. So far, this season like season 3 with it's lack of direct conflict with the Cylons. It's boring, aside from the search for Earth and the Cylon civil war. I don't care about the rest.

The Boston Globe has a short interview with Edward James Olmos concerning the final season of Galactica. Some sorta-spoilery bits there so be warned. Though, it sounds like the ending may be not what people are expecting, or wanting.

Fox recently announced they were renewing The Sarah Connor Chronicles. In case you missed it, starting August 11th, Fox will air reruns of the first season every Monday night at 8pm ET. More than likely this will be the same time for the second season. Who's going to be watching? I'm on the fence.

For all you Dr. Who fans, you might be interested in this techno-dance remix of the theme song.

And now for your entertainment, the (almost complete) classic 'get a life' SNL sketch starring William Shatner!

Honestly you would think that if Battlestar Galactica was actually about war and such they would make the series progress like war does. Or at least when your enemy is in constant organized retreat. And that would basically mean having skirmishes regularly to throw off the trail and such. I tuned in to the episode that the newborn mother who finds out her husband is a Cylon gets jettisoned out of the airlocks and I was just left shaking my head. I mean, where is this going and why should I care? I mean everyone is so farked up that I'm trying to think why they shouldn't be wiped out. And that's not a show I want to watch where I feel like I shouldn't even root for humanity.
