I defy anyone to have seen that final 10 seconds coming

Okay, the film crew story was done in Babylon 5 many years ago and it does
make a sometimes too convenient plot device - but witness a fast paced
well
acted episode in which no character was wasted.

Was that the one with Lucy Lawless? Great episode, if that's the one I'm
thinking of.

Only two more eps to go this season (if you're downloading) and the
standard doesn't drop, you've got some cracking episodes to come.

I'd be interested to know what the Sky viewing figures are for BG, because
there's certainly not much comment about it here.

I keep telling a mate how good it is, but all he says is that he won't
watch it because it's a kids programme. It may well have been, first time
around, but it's not anymore. I wonder if memories of the original are
putting other people off?

That it is a DOG disfigured Sky (Chav-er-vision) * show only available to
Murdoch-serfs or geeky downloader types will go along way to making sure
this "Sky Exclusive" remains just that.

Even if it was shown on Channel 4 in a proper slot like Lost or Fish-wives
it would only get 2-3 million viewers.

Still, its the best Sci-Fi since Dark Skies and Babylon 5.

For me it just reinforces that broadcast TV is dying, to be replaced by
BitTorrent and IP TV that hasn't been fucked about with by broadcasters.


You could have something there. I'd certainly be perfectly happy to pay iTunes or someone a small amount to be able to download just the stuff I want to watch, as opposed to paying Sky for mostly crap, with the odd good bit thrown in.
