Great news! In looking up info on The Flash TV series, which I've long sought, I read that it's *finally* coming to DVD--tomorrow! If you never saw this 1990 series, you missed a treat.

I think SG-1survived because it kept it's nose out of politics and didn't try to have any shock value. Also Trek is produced in the US for minor networks. SG1 has always ran it's original run on cable (Showtime/SciFi/repeats on regular TV). SG1 is made in Canada. I'm not sure that has anything to d

Wonder why they didn't stick with Alan Ritchson, who played the character on "Smallville"? Unless they're going with an older character, which I somehow doubt in this youth-obsessed culture. Hey! Maybe Aquaman can have a crossover with "Surface", and the King of the Seven Seas can bend the gian
