Jericho meets Independence Day meets whatever. :)

Starts June 19, in the US.

Sadly only June 24 here. And I have yet to watch Super 8.

While I'm certainly interested and have heard a lot of good things about the show, the fancy suits won't let me have it because I happen to live on the wrong side of the Atlantic pond. So, if this turns out to be as good as it's hyped, I might have to torrent it.

I'm not proud of it, but I am not about to wait for months on end for the bluray release while everyone posts spoilers on forums and whatnot. So yes, I am probably going to pirate it (and Terra Nova too) because American TV companies don't give me a competitive choice. They bring this upon themselves.

That said, I will still certainly buy it whenever I can, multiple copies at that to make up for the damage I caused. Me pirating (a very, very rare occurrence, let me assure you) does not equal lost sale in any case.

Now, if only the ageing entertainment industry would learn a thing or two from the PC games segment, I think it would be beneficial for everyone. I want to be legitimate about all my entertainment, but the American TV folk won't have my money, they won't have me as audience, so what would would they have me do? *sigh*

Edit:
I want it it said that this is a prime example of how TV is simply outdated; that the philosophy of the thing is still stuck in the eighties. They just don't realize that there's a much bigger world with a much richer audience out there if only they could open up for it. They won't adapt to us, and we can't adapt to them. It's a stalemate that didn't have to be there. They just don't know, they haven't got a clue of the millions they miss out on because they can't grow up and adapt to the modern world. Their loss. And ours.

Oh. Yay. Steven Spielberg and aliens. Again.

This is how I am with Doctor Who. It airs much later in the US and they cut it up and edit it to fit commercials in. Fuck that. I torrent them to watch once and then I buy the blu-ray releases. That disc purchase is how I support the show.

On topic: I like Noah Wyle and sci-fi, so I will definitely give this a shot. Unless it's my favorite show ever though (like Doctor Who) I tend to wait for disc releases. I don't like waiting a week between episodes and I HATE commercials. I don't watch TV at all basically, I just watch discs.

It can't be nearly as bad as ET or Close Encounters!
And certainly not as bad as his "acting" in the original Blues Brothers :P

Or The 4400. Or....the fourth movie that shall not be named.

Never saw The 4400.
Clue me to the other film?

The fourth from three. The abomination of the holy trinity. The invader. The fridge logic. The Lebeouf.

Hmmm, JP? T:DotM? Neither looks especially great...but I stopped watching JP at part2 :P

and how the smeg could I forget the abomination that was "AI"? *shudder*!

Is it possible that you have not seen not? Not even heard of it?

I worship you as a god.

I've kinda been out of touch this last 3.8 years. long-term illness that docs are clueless over. I sleep a lot >.<
Some days, it's all I can do to get out of bed to go potty O_o

Ah, in that case I was referring to Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

Ohh, yeah. Didn't see that one.
Somehow, I lost interest at 3, with Sean Connery doing a great Sean Connery impression.

Ubernecro!

Anybody seen the second season? Is it worth watching? I didn't really like the first, is the second similar to the first or did it change enough to become interesting.

Got all episodes sitting on my HDD, but haven't had the time to watch it :(
