I'm meh about True Blood but I was completely hooked on the Shield. I could not put down the DVDs. I haven't managed to catch the final season but it's a complex and intelligent show with excellent anti-hero characters. So RCC was inspired by the Shield and made SGU? This just doesn't compute!
PSW, I don't know why The Shield would fail on German TV but I'm guessing it must have done ok in the US. There were 7 seasons aired, after all.

Don't offend Love Boat!
Hey, there was adventure and exploration in that show! :mad:
Yep, it's the Love Boat, with tons of bickering, backstabbing, doom and gloom.

This was my favorite cartoon when I was a kid: Johnny Quest!
Johnny Quest had great adventures, good mysteries and was awesome. WAY better than any episode of SGU.

I've heard that too, but the love boat is about people traveling on a ship so that's a little closer to people traveling on the destiny (which is a ship) to me. But hey, Gilligan's Island is much better than SGU as well.

I loved Johnny Quest as a kid as well
I got hooked on the original Johnny Quest when I saw it on the Boomerang programming block on Cartoon Network in the early 90's. It was a really fun show and fairly violent for a children's cartoon show.
They made a new Johnny Quest series in the mid 90's on Cartoon Network. It was pretty good as well but only lasted two seasons. The second season was a bit better because the first season had too much focus on this bad CG VR world created by Dr. Quest called Questworld. I suppose it looked pretty good for its time but like Reboot that early 90's CG looks rather dated today. From what I remember the second season was made by a different team and therefore had less focus on Questworld. Take a gander at this

Really really poor cg. Not really that big of a jump from Playstation and N64 graphics which were the newest consoles at the time.
Supposedly there was another Quest series in the 80's but I have yet to see anything from that.

Johnny Quest
OMG me too!
I loved that show when I was a kid! The funny thing is I found the whole series on DVD recently in the kid's session while looking for something for my daughter and bought it to see if it was as awesome as I remembered.
You know what? It is!
The only difference is that episodes which I found really scary as a kid (the invisible monster, the mummy, etc) didn't scare me anymore, lol. And the episodes are really short.
But it's still a great show to watch - far more interesting than SGU on all levels! Pick it up if you haven't already, OM1.
PS
Beware of the "new" JQ - I think it's called "The real adventures of JQ". Bad, choppy writing, anti-us military, not cool...

I have been tempted to buy that set!
I only like the original, and the later versions didnt have any "magic" for me.
But I have seen every single original episode several times each I tried to get my young nephew (12 years old) into it but he says its "too serious" :icon_eek:. Actually, all the shows we watched as kids are more cerebral than shows like Stargate Universe. Even the more mainstream cartoons like Bugs Bunny were more adult than any of the garbage out there today.
That DVD set has been in my local video store several times in the past 2 years, and I have been sooooo tempted to buy it (have rented it), but the "remastered" set has been EDITED to be more politically correct! Thats right...check it out. Im not with that. But the original unedited versions are still on The Cartoon Network. Why is everything so much more watered down and puritanical these days? It took almost 40 years for Star Trek to get back to the miniskirts and "go go boots" after decades of pants on females in Trek. :roll:. Now, all of the "culturally insensitive" dialogue in Jonny Quest has been edited and dubbed over for the remastered DVD set.

Twitter has a primer somewhere that explains all the abbreviations. Twitter is basically a "micro-blogging" site, so everyone's page is like a blog consisting of 140 character posts. That page that is linked to here doesn't actually show Malibu's message, it shows the dude's response to her comment. Her message would show up on her own Twitter page, with an @ mention of the guy she's talking to. So, one person's Twitter feed only shows their own comments, I believe. When you talk about someone else on Twitter, you put the @Username, and then Twitter alerts that person they have been talked about. So when the @malibunextyear appears on the guy's page, that is his response to her @mention of him. To see what she wrote, we'd have to go to her twitter page...I think...maybe I don't explain it or understand it very well though.
The # signs are topic identifiers, so #SGU would mean you are talking about SGU, and you could tag your Tweet with #SGU if you wanted it to count towards the "trending" topics (the tags that show up the most, are 'hot' topics). And the RT means you are retweeting (basically copying someone's tweet and posting it on your own Twitter page - but you are supposed to RT cuz it helps spread the word about things).
Anyways I don't have my own twitter account but I had to read up on how Twitter works recently for a work thing. Maybe someone who actually uses it all the time can explain better
Thank you SexyDexy. Much appreciated. That twitter thing is a bit of a mess and I'm not going to dig futher than your very good explanation. My brain stopped accepting new communication mechanisms after chat, "blogging" and "texting". All this technology and people still want to type sentence fragments with their thumbs, or to force statements to within 140 characters. Lord help us.

Coop hung around Toronto a week after the Gemini awards by the look of it. They've been trying to hype Space ratings like crazy with all this SGoo coverage. I guess their parent company CTV had the whole cast on to get better market penetration and sell subscriptions to Space. I doubt anyone higher up than Chloe would be involved with these Spacecast turds but I remember they did have Louie Ferrari or whatever on when it premiered.
Coop's a bit different than the other stooges. He's not involved day to day anymore and he isn't the arrogant mouthpiece the other's are. I guess he's no longer part of the production company either since that typically folds at the end of filming, Nov. 23 this season.
Did he happen to mention Space Canada took a giant dump on Canadian fans by airing SGA 2 years late? I could buy it on DVD before it was on live. And then they come out like gangbusters promoting this SGoo crap before it aired. Guess they couldn't get a discount on SGA but in that time they had been bought out by Bell/Globe Media/CTV.
I guess I'll watch this later, I just know I had a DVD running when it was first on. These promos are used to prop up the station as being unique. They can't fill time with Ed the Sock now that he's working for CH11. The whole ridiculous thing about Space (Space — The Imagination Station LOL) was when it was first announced I thought it would carry live Nasa feeds. Instead they ran Batman episodes. However their sales are a real bowl of gravy to the show. And SGoo fills 3 hours a weekend of airtime plus this kiddie show for the fans. Well, I should say the fans that still watch ...
