Title: Jeremiah - Cool!
Post by: IceFire on October 04, 2003, 09:10:07 pm: I'd heard of it but since I don't live in the states and seeing things that are broadcast on a single cable network not available up here means that I didn't get a chance to watch it. Fortunately, the local TV station has finally picked up season six of StarGate SG-1 as well as the first season of Jeremiah. Being the big JMS fan that I am, I decided to watch it.

Its REALLY good. I like the characters and story and how the two meld together. None of them have the really annoying cliche style of character (the one who turns his/her back on everything, can't think themselves out of a box, refuses to take the right path ever) that is usually used in these types of post apocalyptic but they still seem very much part of the landscape.

Fantastic...wish I'd seen the first episode but I think this is the second one. I even like the art direction and the music. Its not so gritty as to believe that there is no hope left...but its sufficiently dark to give it the right feel.

Any opnions on this show? I don't want to hear spoliers but does it play out well?

Post by: Tian Guan on October 04, 2003, 09:53:03 pm: Luke Perry is wandering though a world where some years previous, a deadly virus wiped out everyone over puberty.

He goes around trying to rebuilt society while the last remaining old people, who hid out in air-tight bunkers, go around purposely reinfecting people with the virus, watching how it progresses and then burning the subjects alive to kill the virus off. And a huge black guy tags along.

Jeremiah (Luke Perry) and his younger brother were told by his father, who apparently had something to do with the virus, that he had to get to Valhalla Sector and that they'd know how to stop, cure or evade the virus. At the end of the first and only season, he finds out more than he bargained for.

Does that mean it involves a lot of under age sex with little boys?

Post by: Knight Templar on October 04, 2003, 10:05:01 pm: Not yet.
Title: Jeremiah - Cool!
Post by: Tian Guan on October 04, 2003, 10:13:03 pm: It involves moderate amounts of sex. Basically, Jeremiah is like Kirk. In every episode he'll encounter some beautiful woman looking for help and/or to kill him and by the end of the ep he'll be getting a hand-job in the back of the truck him and the black guy stole from some other save-the-world luser.

In one ep they find this woman being gang-raped in a truck. It's pretty funn....err.....'disgusting'.

Post by: Knight Templar on October 04, 2003, 10:33:05 pm: wouldn't she have to be 13 or younger then? :wtf:
Title: Jeremiah - Cool!
Post by: Tian Guan on October 04, 2003, 10:36:11 pm: No. The virus died out like 15 years ago or something. It was so efficient it wiped out everyone capable of being infected and killed itself off.

*hijacks thread for Stargate*

Season 6 is awesome... we're about to watch the season finale here, on Thursday, and then start Season 7 immediately. Bit sad that there isn't that much of O'Neill in the later episodes, but the characters develop really well. :yes:

Post by: Flaser on October 05, 2003, 07:27:00 am: I'm getting a little bit frustrated...

The internet is about free-share of information, IP banning is....BAD.
Not bad as a day when waking up on the wrong side of the bed, but bad as a day that starts with a madman yelling into your ear and ends with bumping into solid concrete fast enough for lights out. (I actually did have one such day).

Any Firewall gurus/ Internet-masters up for the task of beating that? (This is no hack request, just wanna no if someone can bounce around it)

I know, I ran into the same problem. I'm even on the same bloody continent.

Aye...unfortunately I missed the first episode of season six. This channel doesn't know how to promote programming...I discovered it by accident. The X202 (or is it 203?) is really cool looking tho :)

That's funny.... i can get through to it fine. I'd almost suggest it was petty antagonism to France over the Iraq thing, but no-one could be that petty - could they?
Title: Jeremiah - Cool!
Post by: Taristin on October 05, 2003, 09:52:21 am: How much would you like to bet. My brother is anti-france for some reason. But he's also 'anti- a lot other stuff,' too...

"Freedom Fries" ring any bells? If Congress can be that petty, pretty much anyone can.

Post by: Tian Guan on October 05, 2003, 12:46:18 pm: Season 7 kicks ass (I've been getting.....'questionable' copies of the eps).

RDA is out alot because he's spending more time with his family. Thus, less O'Neill.

X-301 = Modified Death Glider
X-302 = Tauri made fighter with Hyper-drive that kicks Death-Glider ass
X-303 = Big-ass destroyer fitted with some cool Asgard weapons and shields.

Those are the proto-type designations. They production models are named F-302's and F-303's. Or 302's and the Prometheus.

And Showtime bans you from viewing the pages because they don't want people from other countries getting all the spoilers for eps that've aired in the US, but are yet to air in other parts of the world.

Well, technically it's still going on season 2, but since JMS decided to quit the show after S2, it's as good as dead.

The Season 7 premiere is...

Spoiler:
The one where Daniel Jackson rejoins SG-1.

I would, but I really don't think a SG-1 Space sim would be all that great unless you were playing as an Asgard..
