Re: The Sci-fi thread
Potential good show "Last Resort" I think. About nuclear submarine going rogue and becoming its own nuclear nation. Around soon I think. Looked at Revolution and first thought was Amazulu's observation - perfect hair and teeth without power. The writing looked passé and tedious as well.
Thanks for the tip off

Some might not know that Alcatraz and Terra Nova, two "glossy sci-fi" programmes I bailed out on after a handful of episodes, have both been cancelled - unsurprisingly most would say.

Re: The Sci-fi thread
Sadly nobody - all of the US networks have declined to pick it up. I believe that the Pilot episode has been made, but nobody seems willing to screen that either.
There was talk of it being released in an online format. maybe we will get to see the pilot one day, but it's not looking good for a full length series

Re: The Sci-fi thread
Watched Last Resort - again, lots of potential but lacking with plenty of holes
Ballistic missile subs are not used to pick up special forces
Even the shittiest little island nation will have a government - not run by some local warlord
Exploding a Trident D5 ICBM 200 miles off the east coast of the US is still going to kill a lot of people, aka sailors
We'll see
