A few observations:
* I have already told you about the long struggle of Total Recall 2070. That means perhaps that if a show is nominated many times along a long périod of time, eventually everybody will want to get rid of those insisting nominations... But that means you have to be doing this a long time.
* For me, Life on Mars is a serious contender and one show I may want to see (again) pretty soon. If it's up to me, let's keep this one in our memories for the next rounds.
* Star Cops is a bet. The title is stupid (it sounds like a show for kids), but the premise is extremely interesting and has great potential. And the execution of that? Well, there's only one way to find out. Production values seem to be quite poor though. As it's just 9 episodes, I'm quite willing to give it a try.
* Invasion is a great show, but you might be miffed by the overused "pod people" premise. Understandable.
* How the mighty have fallen... Whatever happened to UFO? From people's champion to a poor 4th place shared with another show. And nobody voted for it as a first option. What happened? I thought you guys were crazy about it. Personally, I'd give it a try. But then I think, 26 weeks! It's a hell of a commitment.
* At the moment, Awake seems to be our ugly duckling. Which doesn't reflect the quality of the show at all. It's just that it's too damn recent. Like good wine, it needs to age a little. Anyway, it got just one vote and that wasn't even as a first choice.
Anyway... Total Recall 2070 is on youtube, so availability won't be the problem if you have a means to access it.
I'll notify the Total Recall 2070 board this Sunday and we can start next Friday, July 10th. I'll also look for TR2070 fan boards and sites and spread the word of our little endeavor in the effort of attracting more people to take part in our discussions. Wish me luck...
Well, it's time for us to be set free from Prisoners and Villages. Prisoner, we won't be seeing you again.
