Fuzzy bears!
Is anyone watching any of the recent sci fi shows that are out, or interested in any that are coming?
I've watched the first two episodes of the American version of Torchwood and enjoyed them. I had seen the very first episode of the Brit version and wasn't impressed, but never watched any more to see if it improved. I'm wondering, if this Starz version continues to be good, if I should go back and watch the first three British seasons.
I enjoyed the first episode of the new Sy-Fy show, Alphas. I will watch more and hope, as it seems to have the potential to be a very good show or a horrible one, depending on where they go with it. For anyone who doesn't know, it's about a group of people with (for want of a better term) super-powers who the government uses to help solve unusual crimes.
Along the same lines, FX is coming out with a show called Powers, based on a comic of the same name. As I understand it, it's about a couple of cops who investigate crimes by people with powers. I'm not sure if the cops also have any kind of powers. It's not far enough along, and I never read the comics, so I have no idea if it will be good, but it sounds interesting.
I love the sci fi genre, but the quality of shows is so widely hit-or-miss it can be frustrating. I really hope at least one of these shows can maintain high quality and enough ratings to entertain me for a few seasons!
