(potential) T2K tv series starting

Speaking of Jessica Alba....

[Raellus]

First off, I think that Jessica Alba could really do with a sensible belt.

Second, I don't want anyone to think that I am being judgy or patronizing or anything in my criticisms of Falling Skies. If you like it, enjoy it. I really wish I could.

One last thing and I promise I'll let it go. I was reading about the U.S. drone strike campaign in Rolling Stone today while I was in the waiting room waiting for my wife's shoulder surgery to end (it went well but she kind of freaked out when the anesthesia wore off) and it reminded me of one of my biggest "yeah, right" moments while watching the show. If the aliens don't seem to have basic technologies that we humans already have... I mean, they should at least have drones with thermal imagers. If they can build interstellar spacecraft, why are they walking around using nothing more advanced than their mk. 1 eyeballs to find these human guerilla fighters They stand around outside, for Pete's sake.

Sorry. That is all.

Speaking of good series.... Jericho is now on Netflix.


Revolution looks more TWL2000 style while the other one is more of a one shot campaign idea. But will definately watch both.

Jericho was about the closest I have ever seen a TV show get to TW2K in my opinion. Great Great show. I think they rushed it in the second season, but I understand why... and I am very glad we got even that. I would love to see though what would happen next though...

Jeremiah had potential too....

NUTS!

That was the most awesome way I ever heard of anyone trying to keep a show going.

I have a horrible suspicion that the aliens we've seen so far are the invaders' equivalent of drones.

Intersteller thermal imagers mk1 eyeballs were made by the lowest bidder

Shame it didn't work. The show was just starting to get interesting.

There's no rule that all technology HAS to develop at the same rate everywhere.

Harry Turtledove wrote a great sci-fi story, "The road not taken." The Earth-invading aliens in there had a faster-than-light drive, but still used candles and matchlock muskets. Just a little thing that Newton could have invented, but just never thought of.

Then the landed in California, ca.1990, and got pwned....
