SCI FI PI
This week seems to be more than just business (if you could ever call it that) as usual at the SCI FI Channel. We're unleashing yet another pair of the monstacular SCI FI Originals on an unsuspecting Australian public, from the very depths of the earth to the wide spaces of the open air. It's all rather entomological (perhaps, even a bit Them! inspired) this July week on SCI FI.
To paraphrase George Orwell - six legs good, two legs - bad luck!
Tuesday night (at 10.20pm) the action starts with the finest gigantic beetles that $2.50 can buy! Caved In tells the tale of a viciously over-insectoided Swiss salt mine that claimed its first victims in 1948, and now, 50 years later, the bugs are back for more when Christopher Atkins (The Blue Lagoon) and Star Trek's Colm Meaney join in the fun. Gigantic subterranean stag beetles versus family of adventurous humans? Don't event think about missing it!
This week sees the old and the new and the new old and the old new, which is pretty cool, (and slightly bizarre) but what you'd expect, from SCI FI.
Once again our gentle viewers must endure the onslaught of the weird and wonderful world of SCI FI originals, as they continue their delightful dance across our screens. This week continues with Boo, screening on Tuesday night at 10.30pm and Wednesday at 1pm.
Boo has a great premise - a patient is trying to escape a mental institution - but he's already the dead! It's a problem, to be sure, and won't be easily resolved. Get ready for keerraaazzy fun!
Joyous June finishes off this week with yet another SCI FI premiere - and this time, it's personal.
Well, personal, if your name happens to be Jamie Summers.
And no, Jamie is not some new kind of British Chef. Jamie is a woman. The Bionic Woman.
This Friday night at 8.30pm, it's going to be a whole new take on the classic 70's series that starred Lindsay Wagner. A spinoff of the Bionic Man, it gave the world it's first 'fembots'.
But produced by David Eick, of Battlestar Galactica fame, the formula has been given a bit of sprucing up.
The SCI FI Original Movies are here!
This week sees the genius that is Cemetery Gates hit the airwaves as SCI FI unleashes a forbidden planet of movies created specifically for the SCI FI Channel.
A pair of stoner eco-activists liberate an ill-tempered mutated Tasmanian Devil (no lasers on its forehead though) from a lab and release it near a woodland cemetery – the same cemetery where a group of college students are making a film - and the son of the mad scientist who grew up with the previously un-mutated creature as a pet is helping out! Cemetery Gates (2006) stars Reggie Bannister, Peter Stickles and Aime Wolf in a goretastic horror comedy that's not to be missed by schlock connoisseurs.
This month shall hitherto be known as Joyous June on SCI FI Australia, as a slew of excellent programming (and some nifty new extras on our website) makes this Winter start off with warm fuzzy feelings that go all the way down to your toes.
So curl up on the couch, slip into your (ladies please, enough's enough) indoor-only Ugg boots, place the remote on 132 and then shove it gently between some cushions.
SCI FI is your home now. Welcome.
Joyous June kicks off with a heck of a week. Wednesday sees the return of Medium (everyone's favourite not quite 'sci fi' Sci Fi show) that has Patricia Arquette once more attempting to bridge that rather tricky gap between the dead, the living, and criminal behaviour. Season 2 premieres on Wednesday at 8.30pm.
For those who've had a rather nasty shock clicking on our homepage (!) - it's obvious by now that the future of SCI FI is explosive, with the channel premiere of Jericho coming up in mere days. If you haven't seen the damage that a thermonuclear device can do to a homepage, do yourself a favour and mouse over our Jericho Doomsday countdown. But please put down any bowls of cereal, cups of coffee or recently constructed houses of cards before doing so!
This week is the final of May's mammoth month of mystery, with plenty of conundrums to keep SCI FI fans entertained.
As we head into the meaty part of May, it's time to look to the future - something that we often like to do on SCI FI! June will see yet another 2008 SCI FI premiere - with another show finding a home where it belongs.
Can you guess what it is? No? Never mind - it's not the end of the world!
All will be revealed, soon - on SCI FI.
This week sees a new Wednesday lunchtime lineup with more 'Mysterious May' programming. Join Declan Dunn (Adrian Pasdar from Heroes) on Mysterious Ways, as he strives to prove the reality behind the possible supernatural goings on that seem to somehow find him - it's X-Files with a twist and a bit of charming grin!
This marks the 200th post since SCI FI PI hit the blogosphere, and what better way to celebrate than to announce that the next few days of manic ramblings, recommendations and reviews will be coming from downtown Vancouver, just minutes away from the set of Stargate:Atlantis.
Not only will SCI FI PI be gathering crucial info on Stargate: Continuum (at the first ever screening) but we'll also be talking to the stars of Stargate, both SG-1 and Atlantis, as well as the 'God' of Stargate himself, Brad Wright. We'll be getting the scoop on Atlantis Season 4, and possibly even Season 5!
It's a week of mystery this week on SCI FI.
Fans of Farscape will be thrilled - the Season 2 cliffhanger will be resolved - tonight, Monday May 12 at 10.30pm!
Season 3 kicks off with a bang as our resident Earthling John Crichton (Ben Browder) has to contend with the evil but entertaining Scorpius (Wayne Pygram) digging around his melon for hidden wormhole technology. It's brain surgery of the most unpleasant kind - but that's only the beginning! Catch Australian made Sci Fi at its best, this Monday (and every Monday thereafter) at 10.30pm.
May the 4th be with you!
Well that was yesterday, but the thought still counts, all this week on SCI FI.
We've got another new line up for you to keep things fresh.
Tuesday night is the night to Get Your Gate On.
From 7.30pm all the way to 10.30pm, it's pure Gatey Goodness, with SG-1 at 7.30pm, Atlantis at 8.30pm and even more SG-1 at 9.30pm.
After travelling to every conceivable planet (included PBX 7331) and even the Pegasus Galaxy, return to Earth at 10.30pm with Destination Truth, where you can join Josh Gates on his hunt for all things otherworldly on our world. Fact, fiction, myth or cynical tourist hoax, he'll track it down and reveal all that Scully and Mulder failed to uncover.
