Damn, those aliens sure did replicate the most perfect of human parts hey?
ReplyDeletebut of course!
DeleteOoh, my favorite subject - scifi! I love it all Dez :)
ReplyDeleteI knew you would, Marcy :)
DeleteThat's a lot of sci fi! And those photos today are...kind of creepy and cool at the same time. :)
ReplyDeleteI tried but couldn't find a more revealing photo of some robotic hunk for you, LuAnne :)
DeleteOh, no. You did fine. :D
DeleteBut where are the photos from? They're not from the shows, right? The ones of those women are just freaky.
of course not, the shows haven't been done yet, no casts, nothing, this is just announcenment, you know how HOLLYWOOD SPY is sometimes years ahead of time :) So, I had to find some futuristic pics in our recognisable hot style :)
DeleteVERY sexy images... LOTs of HOT body parts everywhere. Skin, muscle, and metal.WHOA!
ReplyDeletehope you read the plots of the new shows too, Michael :)
DeleteAs I looked at the segmented anatomies, I thought, "Gee no skin lotions to worry about anymore, just some light dusting." This might be an interesting future look.
ReplyDeleteIs Sci Fi going to take over all media?
I hope it will, C.Lee :) We do love us sf, it's our second fave after historical projects!
DeleteWhat a trailer, very intriguing ~
ReplyDeleteSo many sf series to watch out for ~ Have a good weekend Dezzy ~
that trailer kept me spellbound too :) Isn't it intriguing?
DeleteClandestine is a very appropriate name,don't you think, Arnie?
ReplyDeleteArnie Donovan Smith? He's not here, we've sent him to fetch us some blueberry juice, Mandy :P
DeleteNo, I mean Arnie with the Austrian accent...
Deletethe one who posed full nude in his muscly youth before he became the Governator and started being ashamed of his early works :)
DeleteSounds like a lot of potential there for good TV - here's hoping a few of them make it onto our screens.
ReplyDeletefingers and toes crossed, Bob, we do really need some space shows on TV! Exciting ones, not boring BATTLESTAR GALACTICA ones :)
DeleteWhat a fantastic lineup of Science Fiction! I hope they come to fruition!
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed, we really need us some sf shows set in space!
DeleteI like this very much. The best of Science Fiction novels (Asimov, Heinlen, Wells, etc) are really all that remain of legitimate philosophy in the modern world. Hopefully some of these shows will live up to that standard and provoke interesting discourse amongst us all again.
ReplyDeleteHonestly conversation these days bores the hell out of me.
yep, sf shows often represent either social satires or they bring new philosophies. This is why I loved STAR TREK VOYAGER because it had very scientific episodes about which you could think or talk long after....
Deletespace has never been so sexy... and weird.
ReplyDeleteyes
DeleteTons of Sci Fi stuff! It's really refreshing considering how much medieval content has been churned out lately.
ReplyDeleteAlso, can't wait until I can become a cyborg like that.
I wouldn't mind getting some cyborg parts myself!
DeleteThose are some pretty impressive looking robots!
ReplyDeleteindeed :)
DeleteCount me in! I really like the sound of Dominion and Helix!!
ReplyDeleteHELIX really sounds like something we could enjoy after THE WALKING DEAD since it will have that isolated feel.
DeleteCreepy pictures. I do not like the ladies in this one, they look especially strange and rather gross. I love the sound of Helix. Ron Moore did great work on Battlestar.
ReplyDeleteHELIX should be fun
