| | | Syfy’s push to re-conquer outer space with serious drama programming continues: The cable channel is going to adapt Arthur C. Clarke’s novel 3001: The Final Odyssey into a miniseries with Ridley Scott (Blade Runner) on board as executive producer. |

| | DW 8x11 - Na osme rade ocenuji, ze jsme se dost odklonili od moffatovskych timey-wimey hovadin a megalomanskych zapletek, a evidentne to plati i pro finale. Uzit si to mi ale bohuzel brani fakt, ze Claru jsem zacal behem osmicky uz regulerne nesnaset, Danny Pink je neskutecne tragicka postava a diky par poslednim dilum mi prestal byt sympaticky i Doctor.
BTW uz nevim, za co jineho by Clara zaslouzila odstrelit, nez za ty hysteraky, co predvadela na zacatku tehle epizody. Bych blil. |

|
| | | Ok, uvidime, jak to budou prezentovat (jestli vubec) jednotliva zahranicni media az to prijde. |
|
|
|
| | | Mirak: Point of view. Supernatural je horor-fantasy-mystery-teen, čili v podstatě derivát New Weirdu. I okolní svět od sebe IMHO už dokáže rozlišit SF a F, (potom, co blockbustery jsou už jen výhradně SF/F/comix) tudíž bych to opravdu nemixoval. |

|
| | Pro sirokou verejnost prast jak uhod a navic mystery a scifi jsou proste okrajove zanry oba dva a na vyznamnosti toho rekordu to nic nemeni.
Navic se to prolina: SG1prekonal X-Files, ktere maji k Supernatural rozhodne bliz.
ad) The 100 - Nakoukl jsem do klubu na lapu a nejvic se to pripodobnuje k lostu. |

| | Damar:
len občas niekto zomrie, asi ako vo Voyageri.
Však je to taky od stejné stanice :)
Mirak: Nepřekoná, protože Supernatural není SF. |

| | TelemachusRhade: The 100 je o bande 100 tínedžerov, ktorých pošlú na Zem, zmutovanú po nukleárnom holokauste, z vesmírnej stanice, aby zistili, či je planéta pre ľudí už obývateľná.
A keď tam prídu, je to už čisté Beverly Hills 902 10, len občas niekto zomrie, asi ako vo Voyageri. |

|
|
| | | Sleduji ze CW jenom Supernatural, který letos (teda v letošní seriálové sezóně) překoná rekord SG1 v počtu epizod. |
|
|
|
| | | Jo UPN.. Tak to se podívám aspoň na pilot pro pobavení :) |
|
|
|
| | | Sračka z The CW imho (tj. primárně teen seriál), člověk si udělá podle mě obrázek už z promofotek. Ale víc nevím. |
|
|
|
| | Jo, je.
Arrow, Flash, Gotham. Nesleduju ani jedno. |
|
|
|
| | Jo to je zombieovina? :-/
Jinak neběží už něco z DC univerza? Nestíhám to sledovat... |
|
|
|
| | | Ne, je v to podstatě další seriál, který se snaží přiživit na úspěch The Walking Dead. |
|
|
|
| | | btw, viděl tu někdo Helix? |
|
|
|
| | | Dokonceni veskerych SG serialu bych si pral jako maloco. |
|
|
|
| | Ha, celkem překvapení. SyFylis měl celkem slušně našlápnuto k osudu UPN a nenapadlo by mě, že to může skončit i jinak.
Ascension je mix asi tří knih z nichž jednu se vzdáleně chystáme vydat, (nevzpomenu si na název) ale casting je takový nějaký... Van Holta uvidím rád, Helfer až tak ani ne. Navíc to zas bude mít otevřený konec, pokud skončí u Mini.
Expanze může solidní stejně jako průserodní, takže tam si počkám na výsledek, ale rozhodně souhlasím, že i pokus se cení. Samozřejmě nejvíc ze všeho bych ocenil SGA a SGU film. Zlynčuj mě třeba, ale tohle by do produkce jít mělo. Než přijde Emerich s těmi svými šílenými rebooty.
Remake 12ti opic mě v podstatě nezajímá, ale to už jsem tu někde psal. |

| | | Ascension. Mini-series; possible series. Six hours. Stars Brian Van Holt, Tricia Helfer. The show sets up an alternate version of reality in which, in 1963, President Kennedy and the U.S. government, fearing the Cold War will become hot and lead to the destruction of the Earth, decided to launch a covert space mission. They sent 600 men, women and children into space on a century-long voyage aboard the Ascension, a massive, self-sustaining generation ship. Their mission is to populate a new world, known as Proxima, assuring the survival of the human race. Nearly 50 years into the journey (i.e. in the present), as they approach the point of no return, the mysterious murder of a young woman—the first homicide since their departure—causes the ship’s crew to question the true nature of their mission. Premieres Dec. 15, 2014. |

| | Pozitivní je aspoň to, že skutečně chystají aspoň částečně vesmírné sci-fi. Ne, že bych do toho vkládal až tak naděje, ale po konci SGU tady snad ani nic takovýho nebylo a to už jsou tři roky:
The Expanse. Series, 10 episodes. Based on the series of books by James S.A. Corey, a thriller set two hundred years in the future, The Expanse follows the case of a missing young woman who brings a hardened detective and a rogue ship’s captain together in a race across the solar system to expose the greatest conspiracy in human history. No date.

| | Zajímavý retrospektivní pohled hlavounů SyFy na jejich post Battlestar Galactica produkci a snaha o návrat ke kvalitě tehdejší doby:
Syfy knows they messed up. Now they have a plan to win you back.
The cable network’s top executives won’t say this in such blunt language, but they acknowledge that somewhere along the line, the network missed an opportunity to have more great scripted dramas. It happened sometime after the name change from Sci Fi Channel to Syfy and the conclusion of Battlestar Galactica—the acclaimed series that was once mentioned by critics alongside titles like Mad Men and The Sopranos as representing TV’s top-tier of storytelling. Once the weary Battlestar crew decided to settle on Earth in the show’s 2009 series finale, Syfy did much the same thing by launching terrestrial-based dramas like Warehouse 13, Sanctuary, Haven, and Eureka.
Let’s be clear: Syfy executives do not regret those titles; many were successful. The mistake wasn’t the dramas Syfy made but the ones Syfy did not make—acclaimed, must-see high-end “serious” shows like Battlestar that would get a lot of buzz and super-passionate fans.
The post-Battlestar shift made sense on paper. Broad-targeted female-friendly fantasies like Twilight and Harry Potter were dominating the box office while breezy crime dramas on USA and TNT ruled cable. So Syfy doubled down on light, sci-fi-themed procedurals.
Yet while Syfy was seeking TV’s version of Twilight (like Being Human), or an “Imagine Greater” version of Burn Notice (like Warehouse 13), other channels jumped into the serialized hard sci-fi/fantasy turf trail-blazed by Battlestar. AMC’s The Walking Dead—a premise that nobody in the industry thought would deliver a broad audience—became TV’s highest-rated series. HBO enjoyed huge hits with True Blood and Game of Thrones. FX unleashed American Horror Story, and A&E got in the game with Bates Motel.
“We saw an explosion of sci-fi/fantasy content across every cable and broadcast network out there,” said Syfy president Dave Howe. “Perceptions of the genre have shifted dramatically. What that speaks to is an opportunity to re-own the genre and be at the forefront of high-end buzzy, provocative storytelling — and the epiphany of that was Battlestar.”
Largely in the last year, Syfy has shifted its course. Howe hired new programming chief (Bill McGoldrick, who answers our burning questions in a Q&A below), obtained a larger programming budget from parent company Comcast, and has amassed a truly impressive development slate (the five shows Syfy is betting will lure you back are also listed below). “Because of the cumulative density of the announcements we have made, I think the audiences are recognizing that we’re deadly serious about this and we are determined work with some of the biggest names out there,” Howe said. “We want to be the destination for the smartest, most provocative [genre dramas].”
The first show that felt like it was part of that new wave was last year’s Helix, which reunited the network with Battlestar showrunner Ron Moore and returns in January (and to a less extent, the previous year’s drama Defiance fits in this category too). Another title executives are excited about is Syfy’s attempt to reinvent the time-travel drama with a series take on the Terry Gilliam film 12 Monkeys, airing in January.
But the two titles to really watch out for are space operas. The first is Ascension, a mini-series premiering in December starring Tricia Helfer (Battlestar again), about a space ark launched in the 1960s. The production includes a massive set that is four stories high. The second is The Expanse, based on James S.A. Corey‘s rollicking bestseller Leviathan Wakes, which is aiming to be the next great Star Trek/Firefly/Farscape space dramas. “It’s probably one of the best scripts I’ve read in the last three to five years,” Howe said of The Expanse pilot. “We fought off a lot of competitors to get it.”
EW spoke in depth to Howe’s head of original programming, Bill McGoldrick, about the network’s new direction. Like Battlestar‘s cylons, Syfy executives have evolved. And they have a plan. |
