SCI-FI geeks out there?

[Warthaug]

Haven't seen falling skies - but based on the comments here and a bit of reading, it looks like I have some episodes to track down!

Who cares, the current mayor is kinda hot! I'm waiting for soem back story on all of these alien races. One thing I don't get, they have enough tech to build ships to get here, but they're driving aound in wierd and old junker cars??? I'll still watch it though, not a bad show.

Kinda?! She's the type of politician I could really get behind. Sorry, I had to. I don't know if the video game has more back story but the Wikipedia page has a lot of info. There was an unknown catastrophe that destroyed their fleet above Earth which led to the planet getting deformed and the animals mutated.

I know that at some point they did show a view from space that depicted ship wreckage. I assumed that was from some sort of war, that the humans had struck back with perhaps nuclear weapons once the terraforming started. But a catastrophe works too.

Does anyone know why the races are divided? Why the Volge seem to have no problems with killing off the other races?

The races are all from the same solar system that was about to be destroyed. They came to Earth looking for a new home. The Volge were supposed to be left behind to die. Another mystery in the series is who and why the Volge were smuggled out of the solar system with everyone else.

I'd eh-hem vote for her again and again, Thanks for suggesting the Wikipedia page, just read it, good back story.

OMG! I thought this was NEVER going to be filmed! Do you have any idea how many years it's been since OSC started working on the movie version??

I believe Haley jo Osment was originally going to play ender.,I think it was just after the Sixth Sense.

I don't think he could be serious enough for Ender...

Looks like they aged the kids up a few years. Oh well, I kind of expected that. There is WAY too much good stuff in the book to ever make it in the film. Too many thoughts and stuff that are hard to get across. I hope they get Ender's character right.

Sounds like the side story with Peter and Valentine is not in there. I hope they at least flesh out the characters, especially Peter. He was kind of scary in the book.

 

[ChshreCat]

If I remember right, they had the kids older in the movie because the book takes place over a longer time period. So rather than try to either age the actors a little or claim they're a few years older even though they look exactly the same, they just made them a little older and had the training take less time.

I just hope they dont make him into the 2010's emo type like they so love to do.

I don't know if I'd go that far but it's a pretty decent show.

I'm never excited about new movies, but I can't wait for this one!
Had to read "Ender's Shadow" for a leadership class, and spent the semester reading the whole Ender series Even named my dog Bean!

Any SGU fans as pissed as I was watching the end of the series as Eli Wallace stands on the observation deck and it ends? I was pi*sed!

I was mad it ended just as it was getting its legs under it, but was happy they left it open to pick up again if there were able to restart it.

Maybe they'll wrap up with some movies like they did with SG:SG1..

Its been a long time since it ended , I dont think they will. But then again True sci fi is making a come back and the reality tv and gay vampires are dieing off , thank god.

My wife and kids are into Supernatural. Wife has been watching several episodes a day for a couple of weeks now. Trying to get caught up.

She's a bit obsessed with Dean. She got tickets to a convention for her and the kids (I declined, but they are taking my daughter's friend).

I'm just waiting for her to call me Jensen in bed...
