Well, as Knightmare was a fantastic TV series, I thought I'd post a thread where we can discuss new TV programs, recommend the good ones, and advise on ones we think are dire  The 2 new programs I've mainly been watching are Tower Prep, which is basically The Prisoner meets Buffy with some sci-fi thrown in Was showing on Cartoon Network, and really hope they commission a second series The second one I've been watching is the Walking Dead, based on the fantastic comic series, I have to admit, I was worried they wouldn't do it justice, but so, I've liked what I've seen. They've not followed the storyline of the book exactly, well, not that I remember, but it works. It's got tension, great acting, and some fantastic zombies  Second series is due to start on 31st October, so looking forward to that |

The second one I've been watching is the Walking Dead, based on the fantastic comic series, I have to admit, I was worried they wouldn't do it justice, but so, I've liked what I've seen. It's coming to Channel Five soon, so I may give it a try then. I read that Andrew Lincoln's in it, and a Brit playing an American in an American series is usually a good omen. New to me this year is Starhyke. An endearing British sci-fi comedy that sadly hasn't made it beyond Season One, nor onto TV - though both may still be possible. Here is one of the trailers. The DVD set is available for around £11. |

Second series [of The Walking Dead] is due to start on 31st October, so looking forward to that Season Two is starting on Five next Monday, so you must have been watching it on a different channel (FX?). I never did watch any, but I hope S2 lived up to expectations (no pun intended). New to me this year is Starhyke. An endearing British sci-fi comedy that sadly hasn't made it beyond Season One, nor onto TV - though both may still be possible. Starhyke did in fact make it onto TV (Showtime) at the end of last year, and there is a new 4D ride, Starhyke: First Flight, due for international release later this year. Starhyke has about the same number of Facebook likes as Knightmare! Fortunately this is holding true, at least for Homeland, which I was 'currently watching' until Season One finished last weekend. Damian Lewis was in it, as was David Harewood, the first person ever to tweet me. I do recommend it (Homeland, not Twitter  ), and by scheduling it on Sunday nights, Channel 4 changed my outlook on the weekend! |

I watched Starhyke too!
Other stuff I've started watching lately is The Taste and Great British Bake-Off... and a lot of random Wrestling.

That's good to know. I went off it after seeing an online side to the creator that I didn't like. In fact, due to how he behaved, I went from being one of Starhyke's biggest and proudest fans to not wanting to be associated with its fan community at all. As a result, I don't recommend it to people anymore! Having said that, I would be pleased if it resumed in some form, though none of the official spin-off projects ever seems to materialise. Now that you've brought it up, I'm thinking of watching it again. (Some episodes are better than others.) I still have one or two Starhyke fanfic ideas. I rarely seem to watch new programmes. More often than not I go for new series of existing programmes or repeats of old series. |
