An odd thing about me is that even though I own all of the Fallout games in my Steam Library, I have only played about an hour of Fallout: New Vegas and an hour of Fallout 4. The others haven’t even been installed. There’s something about the games that just don’t grab me and I have never been able to figure out why. That said, I am looking forward to this TV show from Amazon. I noticed actors that I like such as Walton (Justified/The Shield) Goggins, Kyle (Twin Peaks/Dune) McLachlan, Michael (Lost) Emerson, and Sarita (Jessica Jones) Choudhury. I hope it turns out to be as good as my expectations.

The Wachowskis and J. Michael Straczynski are teaming up with Netflix to bring a new scifi show to the streaming service. Count me in.

It looks like Syfy has canceled Eureka. It ends after the next season and not in the next few weeks, as some would have you believe. The producers wanted a shortened sixth season to wrap up some things, but didn’t get it. Hopefully, the story will wrap up nicely.

Personally, I have always thought five seasons is enough for any series, no matter how many episodes are in each individual season. Eureka was a very enjoyable show and I will enjoy the rest of the episodes knowing that, unlike some other shows, it won’t wear out its welcome.

I told you.

“Promising news for fans of The Event, NBC’s low-rated thriller that got axed after one season: EW has learned that SyFy is considering whether to develop the second season into a miniseries.”

I stopped watching the show when it came to the winter break and I didn’t start watching The Cape either, so they lost a Monday viewer (Well, a Monday night DVRer). However, knowing that the story might be completed, I might go back, finish the first season and watch the miniseries when it comes out.

Syfy has bought the rights to the first two seasons of ‘Lost Girl’. This is really good news because the show is excellent and is one that I strongly recommend.

Unfortunately, Babylon 5‘s Jeff Conaway has fallen into a coma. Apparently, he had a drug overdose. I think he was on a show called Celebrity Rehab a few years ago, but it looks like any treatment didn’t stick. My best wishes go out to him and his family in this trying time.
