As long as the internet still works... by worthless	Apr 18th, 2008 09:41:28 AM

Wish there was an edit button by worthless	Apr 18th, 2008 09:42:53 AM
What I meant to say was "As long as the internet still works... cause once you see japanese girls puking in each other's mouths, its kinda hard to go back to playboy"
I had a dream like this. by scudd	Apr 18th, 2008 09:47:27 AM
A comet hit the moon and broke it in half, and the larger half was slowly drifting toward the earth, getting bigger in the sky with each passing day. The dream was mainly about society's collapse and my own struggle to come to terms with the fact I was going to die.
Wow, and how the hell do they plan of FIXING the problem? by SkidMarkedUndies	Apr 18th, 2008 09:55:41 AM
Or is this a show that's ending is pretty much bleak and useless?
ON not OF. by SkidMarkedUndies	Apr 18th, 2008 09:56:37 AM
They really need an edit button. Oh wait . . . that's why they have the ZONE. My bad.
Can't they just send Prof. Ray Palmer... by Kid Z	Apr 18th, 2008 10:02:42 AM
... to the moon to carve that white dwarf fracment into a lens, incorporate resulting lens into a shrink-ray, then blast off back ...into space to shrink the hurtling moon down to baseball size so astronauts can just nab it with a catcher's mitt and put it back into its proper orbit by hand before Palmer zaps it back to moon-size. Problem solved!
Ye gods NO!!!! Not cell phone service interruption!!! by Yeti	Apr 18th, 2008 10:03:03 AM
What will people do when they're driving or shopping or walking down the street????!! Oh, the Humanity!!
Hey Scudd... by Kid Z	Apr 18th, 2008 10:05:21 AM
... that or you went to bed after a marathon session of watching the Thundarr the Barbarian DVD box set.
Cell Phone Interruption... by Kid Z	Apr 18th, 2008 10:10:18 AM
...Yeah... god forbid I have to go anywhere without having to hear teenage girls loudly having the following apparently one-sided conversation, "So then she's like, bitch!... Can you even believe it?... Yeah...So then I'm like, no, you're the bitch, bitch! Oh yeah I did! Then she's like, who're you calling bitch, you bitch and I'm like, you're the bitch, whoredog..." Yeah, I'd really miss that....
And don't forget... by Darth WickedChicken	Apr 18th, 2008 10:26:20 AM
This will cause the birth of Thundar the Barbarian and his mighty Sun Swoard.
Would America nuke the Moon?? by performingmonkey	Apr 18th, 2008 10:29:19 AM
as another false flag 'terrorist' act?
Got excited for a minute by that synopsis... by AzimuthMedia	Apr 18th, 2008 10:48:58 AM
...until I realized it WASN'T my long dreamt-about 'Thundarr the Barbarian' adaptation. God I loved that cartoon.
Will the Internet be ok? by Mr. Mcpoops	Apr 18th, 2008 10:56:57 AM
That's what I care about.

Window Out
I guess this one's not that 'Deep'. by Reel American Hero	Apr 18th, 2008 11:17:49 AM
Coming soon on another network. NCIS' Mark Harmon stars in 'Maggeddon' about another meteor shower affecting earth.
Save the problem by homer40	Apr 18th, 2008 11:32:18 AM
I actually would love to see one of the "end of the world" movies actually have the world end. Both "Deep Impact" (good) and Armageddon (bad) pussied out. The best of these films is still "When Worlds Collide" (which they actually optioned when they made "Deep Impact") in which, as predicted, the world actually gets destroyed. The genius of the plotting allowed for a first near miss by one rogue planet, causing all sorts of great special effects mayhem, and the second rogue planet smashing right into us and destroying the world alltogether. Admittedly, there was a core group of people who were able to make it to the first planet, and to presumably build a new civilization, but at least the world actually ended. It would be great if someone adapted T.C. Boyle's "Friend of the Earth" or Margaret Attwood's "Oryx and Crake", or the absolutely awesome "Brief History of the Dead" from last year. This was a great book, in which the world is destroyed by a virus. In the book, we exist in an afterlife city only so long as someone on earth remembers us. As the world dies off, the city is first filled, and then quickly emptied, as those on earth who could remember also die. The last person on earth is a woman who has been in the Artic at a research station. As the book progresses, only those people that she remembers, sometimes only as little as a single brief meeting, remain in the post life city. Great book.
Wow by AshMonday	Apr 18th, 2008 12:00:15 PM
This sounds really, really dumb and astronomically inaccurate.
Space 2009 by snowpuff	Apr 18th, 2008 12:06:27 PM
Will they then send the moon flying through the universe and have wacky space adventures?
Will the female astronomer have gravity defying breastage? by Fred	Apr 18th, 2008 12:09:38 PM

Dropped Calls by Jonas Grumpy	Apr 18th, 2008 12:47:32 PM
I can't hear you now.
KosherWookie by Jonas Grumpy	Apr 18th, 2008 12:49:41 PM
Aftershock, humanity's loss! Aftershock, all is destroyed! Aftershock, have no remorse! Aftershock, into the void! (Give it up for Anthrax, bitches.)
'Maggeddon'... by Kid Z	Apr 18th, 2008 01:02:52 PM
...Not if Grant Morrison and his lawyer have anything to say about it, he doesn't. That dude from NCIS'll have to come up with another title. (Yeah, I admit it... late 90's JLA comics are a guilty pleasure of mine!)
Can You Hear Me Now? by BoggyCreekBeast	Apr 18th, 2008 01:03:54 PM
Hellz NAW! A white dwarf just stole my cell phone!
Thundarr rocked!... by Kid Z	Apr 18th, 2008 01:05:40 PM
... or, as Ookla the Mok would say, "GAAaarrrrghghh!"
I guess we'll go with 'Arma' then instead by Reel American Hero	Apr 18th, 2008 01:14:10 PM
Morrison's JLA run in the '90s was pretty good from what I remember.
LIFE AS WE KNEW IT by Brians Life	Apr 18th, 2008 01:18:27 PM
a rather interesting young adult book told from the POV of a 16 year old girl's diary after a meteor hits the moon bringing it twice as close to Earth and SHIT GOES DOWN....willing to bet that reading this book again (meant for teenagers) will be better than this show.
Cell Phones by Brians Life	Apr 18th, 2008 01:20:54 PM
The other day I was coming out of the elevator and as the door opened there was a woman on her cell phone. She visibly JUMPED when she saw me and I said "Yeah, another human being." Really though, I find it amazing that I can walk to the Coffee Bean, buy a latte and walk back to my place without talking to ANYONE if I want to. what would our grandparents think of that!?!?
Depends on the network by 7Cal	Apr 18th, 2008 02:40:54 PM
The premise sounds cool, but it will all depend on the network. Sci-fi? Never gonna watch it? NBC or Fox? Meh, maybe depending on what the ads look like. HBO or Showtime? It would never happen but hell yeah how awesome would that be. I like the fact that it's an "epic miniseries" instead of a 2 1/2 hour "movie event" that is filled with an hour's worth of commercials. Maybe if it's 8 - 10 hours they can actually get a good story and decent characters in there.
That should be by 7Cal	Apr 18th, 2008 02:41:17 PM
Sci-fi? Never gonna watch it.
Space: 2009 by CapnPower	Apr 18th, 2008 03:14:26 PM
This could be a Gerry Andersen series.
Ugh. Are they even trying? by Triceratops on Fire	Apr 18th, 2008 03:57:20 PM
Since when did science fiction films and TV have to omit the "science" part in order to be made? For every semi realistic BSG we get this turd-blossom. A part of a dwarf star? You mean like hydrogen? Helium? Maybe some iron? "Discovered" that the moon became dislodged from orbit? Like when you discover a lump in your sack? ugh.
red dwarf sucked by Jett	Apr 18th, 2008 04:23:18 PM
people like to say, oh you just don't get british humour, but they don't either they just pretend to to come off more sophisticated this thing looks pretty cool though, might check it out
a ahole's thoughts... by mr ahole ramirez	Apr 18th, 2008 04:37:19 PM
...sounds interestin so far...I really need to see a end-of-the-world situation movie, instead of a good-chance-of-end-of-the-worl d situation, so I can prepare myself...I just hope this comes out before 2012, just in case...
a miniseries about phone interruptions by geodesigns	Apr 18th, 2008 04:54:46 PM
brought to you by Sprint, Motorola, Verizon and all other phone companies that appear fucked up in the miniseries-- can you hear me now?
Will Martin Landau by skimn	Apr 18th, 2008 05:13:57 PM
or Barbara Bain make a cameo?
Cool! by MrD	Apr 18th, 2008 10:01:30 PM
I could stand to lose some weight. Though I'm pretty sure a piece of white dwarf lodged in the moon would have far more devastating effects, at least this is a relatively new idea for an SF series.
Worst effect: Random menstruating! by Flim Springfield	Apr 18th, 2008 11:51:38 PM

Who plays Link? by PirateEmery	Apr 19th, 2008 12:23:40 AM
Moon on a collision course for earth? Who is playing Link and who is voicing Majora? Personally, I would have adapted Ocarina of Time first, but beggars can't be choosers.
I second Catherine Bells involvement. by otm shank	Apr 19th, 2008 01:03:39 AM
She makes my glands swell. :0
gotham_knight by Jack Colby	Apr 19th, 2008 02:16:35 AM

FUCK THE MOON by Mysterious Yobo	Apr 19th, 2008 04:33:22 AM
useless piece of cheese
THE MOON RULEZ! by br1947	Apr 19th, 2008 10:03:21 AM
[flipping the bird] "I hope he can see this 'cause I'm doing it as hard as I can." sorry, couldn't resist! :-)
Is it at all unusual that no network is mentioned? by spacehog	Apr 19th, 2008 10:13:33 AM
I mean, I'm completely ignorant in these things--I figured a network would have to sign on for this before they started shooting it. They're just going to make it and THEN sell it to someone?
More than cellphone disruption by kabong	Apr 19th, 2008 10:32:35 AM
if Moon out of orbit. The stupid bitches of TV business "think" they're doing science fiction with more lamo feeb crap. Don't forget to put a dog in it.
"red dwarf sucked"? by ikkyu	Apr 19th, 2008 01:10:26 PM
"people like to say, oh you just don't get british humour, but they don't either they just pretend to to come off more sophisticated" mate, we Brits try not to believe that all Yanks are knuckle-dragging Bush-voters who think that Europe is in London - because, you know: we know that's not true - but comments like yours don't help. you don't "get" Red Dwarf? um... what's not to get? it's uncomplicated and bloody funny. would the addition of a laughter track help?
What is meant by "Help from a female astronomer" by JumpinJehosaphat	Apr 20th, 2008 10:03:01 AM
Bow-chicka Bow-Bow!!!!
I'm old enough to remember life before cell phones by JumpinJehosaphat	Apr 20th, 2008 10:04:19 AM
You know what we did back then? PLANNED AHEAD!
Catherine Bell!! by chromedome	Apr 20th, 2008 03:12:03 PM
Now THAT would be a reason to watch this--otherwise it sounds pretty stupid.
Quick, call on Bruce Willis to blow up the moon! by MrMysteryGuest	Apr 20th, 2008 11:21:25 PM
