    Re: Season starts on Sept. 8

    Ah well, that might explain it - I don't have cable any more, I switched to Telus TV [cheaper in spite of the claims made by Shaw - much better picture quality too] and I have a number of channels which were not part of the cable packages I had [I know that there were other stations I could have got for even more money - 60 and above - so maybe what I have I could have got if I subscribed to enough channels] but anyway, I have channels now which I never had with cable so perhaps that's why I have the show already - maybe on Canadian cable it isn't available but it is on something else Smile

    Anyway, it does sound like re-runs of  New Amsterdam - now how pathetic is that to take a show you canceled last season and include re-runs of it in your new fall line-up? Surprise Guess FOX wanted to save a bit of money and figured that surely the fans would never notice Indifferent  It's a shame, I thought that New Amsterdam was an interesting idea - I mean, how many repentant Vampires who become police or private detectives or help such do we really need.  I loved Forever Knight when it came out and I enjoyed Moonlight and also Blood Ties but it was wearing awfully thin so to have someone who was immortal-ish but not a vampire [also with the knowledge of years of experience but no super powers except for not dying] was a nice change.  I'd have liked it more if they had dropped Moonlight and kept New Amsterdam [I know - different networks but still...]

    Still though, what I'm looking forward to right now [since I'm already getting Eureka] is Sarah Connor - I really want to see more of that - and Heroes ... I guess I'll give Virtuality a try and see what it's like.  Oh, and for not SF, I'm looking forward to the new season of Criminal Minds - I just re-watched the last episode and I'm wondering [assuming anyone watches it and knows what I'm talking about] the last scene is the SUV blowing up after we see all the team members getting into it ... or is it?  Actually we see team members getting into SUVs but we don't see for sure that it's the same SUV and then when it blows up - I noticed that we can't see anyone inside at all.  SO we don't know if that was an SUV that had the whole team or part of the team or somebody else or even nobody at all.  Guess that depends on who wasn't willing to sign a contract for another season Wink

    I kind of enjoyed Smallville, but I didn't bother with the last season so unless I decide to try and watch that, I likely won't bother with the new season - it was fun and I liked the re-envisioning of things but I think it was aimed at a younger audience [though not as young as Lois and Clark Big Smile

    I checked the TelusTV channel lineup, pretty good.  Shaw digital package has alot of the same channels, except the timeshifted US channels are from Boston, not Detroit.  You can get Space on TelusTV.  I too loved Forever Knight, as well as Blood Ties and while Moonlight started off slow, it got better.  It's too bad Blood Ties was not renewed. Sad

    Which channel are you getting Eureka on?  I didn't see the Sci-Fi channel in the TelusTV lineup. 

    About Criminal Minds, from what I recall the team members got into separate SUV's, so it could be any one of them.  I don't remember if someone was in the SUV that exploded.  I forget what the last episode was about. 

    I'm looking foward to Supernatural, Terminator, Heroes, Lost, BSG, SGA, Smallville (somewhat).

    Re: Season starts on Sept. 8

    As far as Shaw vs Telus - well, I have about 70 channels at the moment and for the first year that costs me $25 per month and then I'm at the full rate which is $47 per month and all the channels are digital [since that's the only way to transmit them over the phone lines] - with Shaw we had just over 50 channels, none digital and were paying more than $47 per month - oh, and signal quality was poor because this complex I live in was wired by Shaw years ago and they don't want to upgrade the cables to the current standard and so we have a lot of thin cable that can't handle the bandwidth but Shaw refuses to admit that there is a problem, instead they told us it was our TVs that were old and worn out [which they aren't] ... the moment we got Telus suddenly our old worn out TV seemed to transform because we had the sort of crisp clear non-muddy picture that Shaw told us our TVs were incapable of Wink

    As for the channel I'm getting Eureka on - actually I'm not sure - I just sort of surf the guide and look for shows at this moment ... I'm very unorganized, but I can tell you that the last one I watched was "Show Me The Mummy" - can't say more without giving away stuff since not everyone has seen the new season yet.  I will say that I'm likely to watch them all again when Space starts showing them because they are all good enough to see a second time Smile 

    Yep, I wish Blood Ties had stayed but I still would rather lose a vampire and keep a non-vampiric immortal - though keeping both would have been excellent.  Sadly we lose the immortal and one vampire Sad New Amsterdam was, in my oppinion far better than Highlander the series was.  As for you list of looking forward to show - I agree with them - ok, Smallville only if I catch up on it but it could be worth doing and Lost - well, I only saw the first season of it and have been thinking about going vback to it if I get the chance - a friend has been talking about getting it all on DVD so if he does then I'll likely watch it all.
