Speaking of Star Trek alumni guest starring on the SyFy channel, Brent Spiner is going to be on an Episode of ALPHAS in 2 weeks.

So.. I have two weeks to catch up on that show..Alphas. I missed most of the Pilot and had been waiting for Hulu to get the rest available.. however that is not looking like it will happen soon. Haven't seen a single full episode. Didn't watch the 2nd one because I didn't catch all the first and it wasn't available yet on Hulu. Then the third episode came around and while I could have watched the pilot by then, then 2nd episode wasn't available to watch, so I didn't feel like watching the pilot only to not be able to watch the episodes in between...

I just wish networks would get over their bull-headed-ness and start streaming everything at the same time as it airs on TV. They're loosing my viewing because I watch about 90% of my "tv" over the internet. Lately, less and less things have been available streaming and so I haven't been watching very much, other than TNG on netflix.

I will make a point of seeing it.

I quite like WH13 anyway, some of the characters are good and its quite light compared to a lot of similar stuff.

Warehouse 13 will be the last good SyFy show once Eureka goes off the air next year. That was a nice left turn in the plot at the end too.

In a way, I wasn't surprised. It would explain why the actor who plays "Pete" was pranking Mulgrew at the Trek convention.
I too, wasn't surprised. One of those revelations....

I rather like WH13....but it suffers from the same problems as all SyFy shows....The writing can be a little weak at times......

And as for Jinx...I think he was more of a drawn out plot device. The whole "I can tell when you are lying" crap was starting to get old tho.

$5 says that Jinx's current situation is all part of Mrs Frederick's plan to defeat those trying to take down The Warehouse. I've seen this plot bit used before. My biggest complaint from last night's show, was they were supposed to be in Atlanta. I realize that they film somewhere in Canada (probably Vancouver), but I mean really, if you're gonna Green Screen the really dangerous parts with the city in the background, then at least green screen the city yo're supposed to be in and don't make it obvious you're in Canada.

Either that, or Jinx was just a filler for the first half of the opening of this Season, other then those possiblillities he seriously has no purpose ocmpared to the other characters.

Is that $5 Canadian?


I actually agree with the whole green screen issue, however it's cheaper for them to film in Canada...They don't charge the production company as much, and I think taxes and fees are lower for them to film on location. Then again...It's SyFy...Don't expect too much when it comes to production values....lmao

Hey, on the bright side... wouldn't that tax money be going to Canada's Health Care? Even if not, Canada should be thrilled to have the extra tax money. I wish USA had Canada's Health Care system.

Yeah, I LOVE Eureka! I love how they brought Wil Wheaton on last season and then this season brought in Felicia Day! I love her and seeing Wil act in a total different light other than TNG and The Guild, was great. He sure has grown up!

I sure hope they reconsider the cancellation of Eureka. They already announced Season 6 would be coming. I am quite perturbed that they went back on that and are now slating it to be done at the end of this season...

I am sick of "ratings" ruining the best shows. The ratings are not accurate at all.
