There's a new Canadian scifi show called Continuum that recently premiered. It's pretty awesome... The imdb entry says "A detective from the year 2077 finds herself trapped in present day Vancouver and searching for ruthless criminals from the future." That pretty much sums up the series, but of course there's SO much more to it. Kinda like "X-Files is about aliens and the supernatural" just doesn't do that show justice, either.
Anyone else seen it yet?

I've been watching it... there's a few flaws I'm unhappy with - plot holes and a tendency to blur portions of the shot. So far I'm still hanging in, but I've yet to be happy about a complete show.
Stargate and Sliders came from canada.
King is/was quite good indeed. My wife likes that one about the Succubus... "Lost Girl" I think.

Eh, I learned a long time ago to look past the small stuff. Kinda have to if you're a big Trekkie... ;)

The posters in the subway were enough to convince me not to watch the latter. Never heard of the former.
I'm generally unimpressed with the quality of Canadian comedy and drama programming, however I suppose I'd give stuff from Showcase more of a
chance than junk from the other networks.
There are often Canadian
*co-productions* that work out a bit better (cooperating with American networks or the BBC,) but most of the home-grown stuff just makes me want
to puke.
Corner Gas was great... Trailer Park Boys not so much.
Sliders was good until they sold it to universal/fox and moved it to Calif. then most of the stars quit and the show died like a small animal.

I could never quite get behind Corner Gas.

It's one of those shows that I remember watching because it was sci-fi and because it was on. I dunno, let's just say I don't have a lot of fond memories of it. Maybe not terrible, but IMHO it's a stretch to call it "good."

I'm currently watching Episode 4 of Season 2 of Sliders... i can verify that statement is true... I'm just going to stop in the middle of season 3
and pretend it ended there...
yep. I have it on dvd, well not season 5 yet.
and you can almost see it dying after arturo was killed.
then from season 4 and 5 they have the Kromag story line.

stuff really went to hell with the kromag story line. it was very depressing and poorly thought out.
i did like however how they tied in the quinn that visited him episode one t all the chaos that occured.
really sad what they did with that show. with the correct creative writing t you could have the best television show ever with the underlying structure o being able to slide into any parallel world.

there were pay disputes and various acts of sexism from fox execs.
it really tainted the show.
the black dude stuck it out and he was making good money, though.

same they did with Sliders too.
beware, the fox kills all.
Some forget Sliders (like me!) But I certainly remember how they
killed off the best show on TV: Firefly.

i tried watching it but couldnt get into it.
I can look past the small stuff like them cleaning guns from the muzzle to the breech, but the big stuff like them all having proficiency with 70
year old weapons and Kellog remembering enough specific business details from 70 years ago to get Richie Rich Rich in a matter of a week or two is hard to swallow. I can do a couple in each eposide, but when they come in flocks, it keeps me jarred out of my suspension of disbelief.
The blurring of the top and/or bottom of the screen in many of the shots almost drove me up the wall in the last episode... along with the whole
lack of a resolution to the paradox and a reason that the terrorists might know the name of the cops grandma.

There's a lot we don't know about their future. Probably basic mechanical physics is taught in middle school, and they certainly strike me as mechanically inclined. Could be they trained on all types of weapons: mechanical/chemical as well as electronic/particle.
Certainly Kellog, being extremely intellectual and well studied, would be well versed in the history of "what the hell happened to our world". He probably would have extensive knowledge on all the early key players, whether he had known he'd need it or not. I'm sure some of the minor details lost to history would be able to be filled by present day info.
Lastly, they never said whether or not he's got any augmentation. If he's chipped, and since he's fairly smart, he would have downloaded info well into the 1900's.

There's some backplot that the writers are still dangling, such as how and why she was maneuvered into this situation. I get the feeling that Kellogg was fed information about her from whoever helped set up their "breakout".

Stargate was a really great show and in my opinion it was so much better tha the movie. Don't get me wrong the movie was great but the series was just much better. I recommend Macgyver too lol one of the best shows!
