That is certainly a hit or miss affair to say the least.

Browder was one of the best things about the last 2 years of SG1. And loved him in Farscape.
Ben Browder should be Hal Jordan in a GREEN LANTERN trilogy

You know it, I know it. And that trilogy is obviously REBIRTH, THE SINESTRO CORPS WAR and THE BLACKEST NIGHT.

Pretty please?

Wouldn't that describe pretty much every Sci-Fi movie?

Does the channel do any other type of film aside from radioactively mutated "critters" chomping people in the woods? They should just rename it the "Sasquatch Channel" and be done with it.
Unlike Stargate, which never was.

No way he gives off enough gay vibe for Greg Berlanti.

Even a jet flight to Hawaii wont be enough to save you.

Ark of Truth was lame

The O'ri or however you spell it, were lame. The replicators, were lame. Stargate was only good when they were taking on the system lords. Let's hope we get more system lord action in the second movie, which apparently deals with Ba'al - and maybe O'Neill will be back?? Before he's too old!!
Holy Shit!

Not another Big Foot movie! Maybe we can have Steve Austin go through the spinning tunnel to save the day
Yes. More Farscape.

Ark was fun but more Farscape. Vala and tomin were good. But more frelling Farscape. i'm surprised no one's thought the gay bigfoot angle, given the B. Mountain title. Aint nobody's business but there's, and they'll rip your throat out if you forget it. Good to see Prowse getting to work, but what the hell's DK doing, hopefully more Farscape. Big screnn movie. Big screen movie.
Should be titled "Critter in the Woods."

That would be fab. Browder as GL is inspired, though.

WICHITA, Kan.—A 35-year-old woman who sat on her boyfriend's toilet for so long that her body was stuck to the seat by the time he called police had a phobia about leaving the bathroom, the boyfriend said. "She is an adult; she made her own decision," said her boyfriend, Kory McFarren. "I should have gotten help for her sooner; I admit that. But after a while, you kind of get used to it." The case drew nationwide attention after Ness County Sheriff Bryan Whipple said it appeared the Ness City woman's skin had grown around the seat in the two years she apparently was in the bathroom. "We pried the toilet seat off with a pry bar and the seat went with her to the hospital," Whipple said. "The hospital removed it." McFarren, 36, said he can't be certain how long Pam Babcock stayed in the bathroom because "time just went by so quick I can't pinpoint how long." He said beatings she received in her childhood caused her phobia. "It just kind of happened one day; she went in and had been in there a little while, the next time it was a little longer. Then she got it in her head she was going to stay -- like it was a safe place for her," McFarren said. But McFarren said she moved around in the bathroom during that time, bathed and changed into the clothes he brought her. He brought food and water to her. They had conversations and had an otherwise normal relationship -- except it all happened in the bathroom. McFarren said he finally called police Feb. 27 after he became worried because Babcock was acting groggy -- like she didn't know what was going on, except she was awake. What emergency responders found when they went into bathroom has left residents of this small western Kansas town buzzing, and law enforcement officials incredulous. Police found the clothed woman sitting on the toilet, her sweat pants down to mid-thigh. She was "somewhat disoriented," and her legs looked like they had atrophied, Whipple said. "She was not glued. She was not tied. She was just physically stuck by her body," Whipple said. "It is hard to imagine. ... I still have a hard time imagining it myself." She initially refused emergency medical services, but was finally convinced by responders and her boyfriend that she needed to be checked out at a hospital. "She said that she didn't need any help, that she was OK and did not want to leave," he said. Whipple said the county attorney will determine whether any charges should be filed against McFarren. McFarren, who works at an antique store, said he has been taking care of Babcock for the 16 years they have lived together. He insisted that he tried to coax her out of the bathroom every day. "And her reply would be, `Maybe tomorrow,'" Whipple said. "According to him, she did not want to leave the bathroom." She was reported in fair condition Wednesday at a hospital in Wichita, about 150 miles southeast of Ness City. Whipple said she has refused to cooperate with medical providers or law enforcement investigators. Babcock has an infection in her legs that has damaged her nerves, and there is a possibility she may wind up in a wheelchair, McFarren said. James Ellis, a neighbor, said he had known the woman since she was a child, but that he had not seen her for at least six years. "I don't think anybody can make any sense out of it," Ellis said. Babcock had a tough childhood after her mother died at a young age and apparently was usually kept inside the house as she grew up, he said. "It really doesn't surprise me," Ellis said. "What surprises me is somebody wasn't called in a bit earlier."

You can't rename Sci Fi the "Sasquatch Channel"...

Sorry, Gruntybear, but they can't rename Sci Fi the Sasquatch Channel. After all, that would step on all the marketing plans for their latest regularly scheduled Big Snake of the week movie.

For crying out loud, when they first started up the Sci Fi Channel and we were all excited about it, did anyone really anticipate that it would end up producing as much utter MANSQUITO level crap as it has? Talk about a cable outlet in need of the most drastic overhaul in the history of broadcasting EVER...

Sasquatch Channel!

I still don't understand how a channel that made some of the best sci-fi Farscape, Galactica and SG-1 (seasons 6-8), can so consistantly screw things up on a regular basis. Really, who thinks Mansquito is a good idea? Ice Spiders? Even with their good series, they f-up. SG-1 should have ended when Anderson left. I loved seeing Browder and especially Claudia Black on a regular basis again, but it shouldn't have been on SG-1. If anything, they should have ended both SG-1 and Atlantis and spun off a new series around Vala, it would have been far more interesting. And Farscape, well we all know what a colossal fuck up cancelling it was. I guess when Galactica ends I'll quit watching SciFi for a couple of years until the manage to stumble across something else good they can slowly suck the life out of. Damnit, I just want some good sci-fi!

Down to earth and very appreciative of his fans. I love this guy.
I agree. A series revovling around Vala

would have been the way to go. I could see her running a sort of ad-hoc intelligence network using her old underworld contacts throught the galaxy. Or have a prequel series with her and the Ori underground. The bitch about season Ten, and to some extent the movie was that they underused the best tools in their new toy box. The two episodes that delt most directly with Vala's relationaship with Tomin and and her relaionaship with Adria were their best. And they could have had more of that kind. That was the real epic story that would a have given a human deminsion to the Ori arc that I think fans felt were. I mean, much would fan's have invested in the Goauld as enemies if they hadn't taken some rather personal strikes at T'ealc and his family in the early seasons. A lot of people said they hate the Ori, but I think the that story just wasn't developed to it's full potential. In ep by ep the better Ori episodes seem to fare better by some of these same fans than the standalone eps.

I am about watching season 4 (yeah i'm late I know...) and I worried about one thing: there's no Frelling season 5! DO IT NOW, I ORDER YOU!!! But I'd like watching Browder in another SF series too... In fact it could be as good as another Farscape season. I don't know, I'm lost, in a AICN talback, a living talback, full of strange geek life forms, Listen, please. Is anybody out there who can hear me? I'm being haunted... by an insane fanboy dream. I'm doing everything I can. I'm just looking for a new Farscape season!

CrichtonNaut is right. That final image (and awful audio) of D'Argo is burned into my memory even after PK wars. Its because it took so long to resolve. Consider yourself VERY fortunate my friend. You can go right into the resolution. I'm not going to spoil anything, but damn, I haven't thought of Bad Timing in a while. I think the most painful part was the audio announcement after that "this is the last Farscape, despite the -to be continued".
Yes, definitely watch it last but have on hand
