Hey, that looks pretty dang good. Also has several people in it that I know from other things. I know the main actor was in Smallville a couple times, along with the guy who plays Dr. Hamilton, but I know both of them best from Battlestar Galactica.

Sadly, it doesn’t look like Laura has the biggest part. Ah well. Also sad, I might not ever see this. I don’t have cable/satellite, so… yeah. Maybe I could see it on DVD at some point. I should look up the book it’s based on.

Hey Ian,

Oh that’s a bummer. You might be able to see it on Hulu, though I’m not sure if Hulu streams SyFy shows/movies.

I definitely plan to catch this one when it premieres next month.

Well, they have Stargate on hulu, which aired on SyFy, so maybe. :)

Hey Ian,

See, there’s hope yet!

BTW – We’re finishing up on a couple of tv-series on DVD. Next in our queue for Netflix is the first disc for S1-Stargate. It will take a while to see the entire series, but I’m hoping we like it! I’ll let you know.
