Re: [scifinoir2] Syfy's New Flagships Recycle Old Favorites
Lavendar, I get the feeling that it's going to be a fair mix of mystical and technological stuff they'll be hunting for. If I may add here, the new ep following Eureka last night was a little better, IMO. More in flow, fewer odd quirks (though there were still plenty). And they really could've left Number Sex -- uh, Six, forgive me -- on the shelf here. Any other actress could've played that role, and probably brought more to it. -[ Received Mail Content ]-- Subject : Re: [scifinoir2] Syfy's New Flagships Recycle Old Favorites Date : Wed, 15 Jul 2009 00:52:20 -0400 From : wlro...@aol.com To : scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com OK I did watch Warehouse 13 and I did thought that it was an updated version of X-files. Or with a hipper view on it. But it never dawn on me to think of Friday 13th the Series. That was my show and I love Ryan more then his cousin. But with that comparison the items on 13 is not that mystical as it was on Friday 13th. --Lavender From: Tracey de Morsella Sent: Sunday, July 12, 2009 11:19 PM To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Subject: [scifinoir2] Syfy's New Flagships Recycle Old Favorites By Sarah Hope Williams, 2:00 PM on Sun Jul 12 2009 Copy this whole post to another site Slurp cancel Syfy is back, now with Ys, vying even harder for your attention. But the network's name isn't the only thing that has been re-purposed; its new staple shows seem oddly familiar. Why is Syfy so unapologetically recycling old television? Syfy is trying to impress us with its new look and new shows, like a small-town girl who moves to the big city to be an actress, bleaches her hair platinum blonde and changes her name. And while we remain skeptical of clichéd reinvention, we have to admit - it worked for Norma Jeane. Warehouse 13 premiered this week on Syfy, and many viewers were filled with a strong sense of Déjà vu. A pair of odd-couple government agents are sent to investigate paranormal activity, blatantly setting the characters up as replicas of Mulder and Scully. Couldn't Syfy at least have mixed things up a bit by making Pete being the by-the-book skeptic and Myka being the intuitive true-believer? But it's not just the agents themselves that are borrowed directly from the archives: The name of show, and its very concept, evokes another direct influence: the quirky Canadian series Friday the 13th that aired in 1987, about a pair of cousins who inherit an antique shop that turns out to be filled with supernatural artifacts. They too are aided by an eccentric middle-aged man with a vast knowledge of the supernatural. In Friday, the female lead is named Micki, and Warehouse's tight-laced female agent is Myka - here again, Syfy strives to make things new and shiny by swapping ys for is. This isn't a new approach by any means. When Syfy's old staple show, Eureka, first premiered in 2006, its premise was equally familiar; government official gets sent to a small town in the Pacific Northwest to investigate a strange occurrence, teams up with local law enforcement and becomes deeply embroiled in the wacky little town and all its colorful characters. Sheriff Carter is no Agent Cooper, but the sense of odd familiarity about the show was undeniable. Eureka appeared to be a candy-coated kid's coloring-book version of Twin Peaks. The question remains, why isn't Syfy trying harder to hide its repackaging of television we already know and love? Do they hope that by transparently recycling these well-worn television tropes they can take a direct route to high ratings and fan admiration? Certainly the ever-increasing number of movie sequels indicates more of the same is a safe bet. Syfy already seems to be engaged in rebooting even more 80's television, including Quantum Leap and Alien Nation. It is remarkable how much attention all these new shows have gotten on blogs, message boards and by word of mouth. Perhaps the network executives at Syfy know the game better than we imagine, and are inviting us to play along as we watch them pressing our buttons. But don't they also know that familiarity breeds contempt? You have our attention, Syfy - now can you show us something new? http://io9.com/5312950/syfys-new-flagships-recycle-old-favorites People may lie, but the evidence rarely does. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQdwk8Yntds

The newly resurrected do-gooders have a lease on life that's odd: they can't commit anything considered a mortal sin, or they're toast. Well, it seems that having sex with a Moorlock is a mortal sin, and, since you can't tell them from humans, it's better to simply avoid the whole affair rather than risk that. It was really good, quirky, fun show, with great characters. Think Reaper with a bit more humor and danger. Gone too soon. Brooks was perfect for his role, his deep, almost pained way of speaking lending itself to the dry humour of the show. I remember one show when he was talking to his partner about the need to be celibate and how hard it was. He reminisced about this one Sister he was really tempted by.

[scifinoir2] Re: Bill Cosby Does it Again... Profound!
While I agree with the spirit of what was said, I think that there's this
misconception that Blacks can't or won't speak English. It's called DIALECT.
The simple fact is that there are people from England who can't speak good
English. We tend to focus on too many of the wrong things when it comes to
fixing what's wrong with our communities. We don't spend enough time trying to
fix why black men drop their seed and roll when the woman gets pregnant. And
where's the support for these 2, 12, 18 yr olds to fill in the gap. Instead
it's easier to look the other way and say someone needs to take care of their
responsiblity. It's comparable to the problem of US infrastructure falling
apart. We've known about the problem for years, but we'll wait until the
problem costs too much in resources to fix or worse we wait until a bridge
collapses. At least the single mom is working at Walmart, there was a time when
she would be on welfare. Lack of fathers is the primary cause of most of this,
but then noone wants to take time out to teach men without fathers what it
means to be a father. Its easier to just give some speech and tell them about
fatherhood. Noone wants to get their hands dirty. Unfortunately, that includes
Dr Cosby.

'They're standing on the corner and they can't speak English.
I can't even talk the way these people talk:
Why you ain't,
Where you is,
What he drive,
Where he stay,
Where he work,
Who you be...
And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk.
And then I heard the father talk.
Everybody knows it's important to speak English except these knuckleheads.
You can't be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth
In fact you will never get any kind of job making a decent living.
People marched and were hit in the face with rocks to get an Education, and
now we've got these knuckleheads walking around.
The lower economic people are not holding up their end in this deal.
These people are not parenting. They are buying things for kids.
$500 sneakers for what?
And they won't spend $200 for Hooked on Phonics.
I am talking about these people who cry when their son is standing there in
an orange suit.

Date: Tuesday, July 14, 2009, 10:57 PM Sadly this is NOT satire The Young Republicans convention was held in Indianapolis last weekend and their election of a racist, middle-aged woman as President isn't the only controversial item to come out of the GOP gathering. Local Republican blog Hoosier Access was able to get RNC Chairman Michael Steele to sit down with a group of bloggers and they taped the conversation. The old gaffe-o-matic (or as I like to call him, the Republican Joe Biden!) answers a question from a gay person of color in this clip about the GOP's diversity outreach. Yes, that's right. To lure African-Americans into the GOP, Steele is offering fried chicken and potato salad. Since he mentions Republicans should also be reaching out to the LGBT community, I wonder what stereotype he's going to offer us? Buttplugs and Birkenstocks?
