Nice to know it's being brought back as a mini-series to conclude the story after Sci-Fi went and axed it a while back.
Really dumb idea of theirs to drop it for the likes of Scare Tactics and Tremors.

I still can't believe they actually made a series out of the Tremors films...

I can.

Mostly because I've read Sci-Fi's intentions: They want to do more terrestrial Sci-Fi. One of the movies cited as an example of what they want to cash in on is the Sixth Sense: "Real World Sci Fi" so to speak. It sells better. Watch Klingons, you're a geek. Say "I see dead people," and you're a pop culture icon.

Sci-Fi wants to make themselves a more mainstream channel. Good thing they chose such a winner of a concept like "Tremors."

Their judgement calls are uncanny. Especially since they were actually BRAGGING about ratings lower than most wrestling shows, which are hardly "mainstream."

They make really, really dumb moves. This is a trend with them. Anyone remember Sliders? One of the best series on TV until they started in on Sci-Fi, where they decided to run with that jackass "Kro-Mag" war line...

The desire to become mainstream, tied with the fact that they know fuck all about smart decisions, leaves me unsurprised that they'd go for a "Tremors" series.

Actually, the thing that most surprises me is that they did so well when they picked up Stargate: SG-1.

Especially when you consider that they just abruptly axed Farscape.

He's not kidding. Tremors: The Series is on right before stargate SG-1 on Friday nights. I've never caught more than a minute or two of it thiankfully, so I can't tell you how it works (Though I imagine poorly).

The ep you're talking about is indeed awesome. "Window of Opportunity." Saw it Monday night. one of two shows I think denote references to MASH, incidentally (The golf Balls into the Wormhole...). The other one is when they name the Sargeant/Technician who operates the gate. His name is Walter, much like Watler "Radar" O'Reilley, who he bears a passing resemblence too, as well.

Anyways, it's really fun watching O'Neill and Teal'c flip out after so many cycles. And it has one of the greatest quotes...

Jack: What kind of archaeologist carries a weapon?

Daniel: Ummmmm...I do...

He says that a lot in that episode.

Carter: Sir, we haven't been to P2X329.
Jack: Yes we have. (to Daniel) No we haven't, thats what you were gonna say.
Daniel: Of course thats what I was gonna say.
Jack: ...Bad example.

Jack: Come on General, look at Teal'c, does this look like the face of a crazy man?!
(Teal'c looks at Jack and then General)
Jack: ...Bad example.
