- Film.com wonders Why Can’t Stargate Atlantis Be Better? I’m sorry to say I can’t help there. None of the various Stargate shows have done anything for me. Maybe someone else can help.
- Jay at Geekend describes exactly when Trekkers jumped the shark. That’s Trekkers, and not the show. He makes a very convincing case for The Klingon Dictionary. But I feel the Klingon language redeemed itself somewhat as Chuck (from Chuck) used Klingon to talk to his friend so the rogue CIA people couldn’t understand what they were talking about.
- TV-Spoilers has in interview with Summer Glau about the upcoming The Sarah Conner Chronicles. TSCC two day premiere stars on January 13th.
- BuddyTV offers us a spoilery look at season 2 of Jericho. With only 7 episodes to work with, the story line will have to be resolved quickly. Can it gain a larger audience? We’ll see.
- Did you know there was a Star Trek manga? Me either. Sci Fi Japan has a nice review of it and it actually looks rather cool.

What’s next, will “Jay” write about when bloggers who incessantly write about the Trekker geekdom have jumped the shark? Has this blog jumped the shark?
The Star Trek manga that they review is the second of two volumes (I haven’t read it yet). The first, while a cool collectible, leaves a much to be desired. While a couple of stories were decent, most felt like the animated Star Trek meets Battle of the Planets (IMHO). However, with Dianne Duane writing a story in the newer volume it’s likely better.
Has the use of “jumping the shark” jumped the shark?
The first Trek Manga also featured a spread of the Enterprise surrounded by giant flying Japanese robots aiming space cannons at it. Disconcerting, but cool.
Testing…testing…as my previous comment has not appeared…
:-$
To repost: I think Trekkers jumped the shark when they insisted they weren’t Trekkies.
:O
Well said, Fred!
Stargate Atlantis is darn near perfection. Just about the only thing worth watching on the “SciFi” Channel.
