I'll believe it when I see it, I guess. But if it's episodic, like it seems to be from the description, it's useless for me. I need a big theme, like Babylon5/X-Files Alien Arc/Lost kind of plot, not CSI:SPACE.

I'm disappointed by this list. Except "Mars Direct" there is not a single other space sci-fi show! I'm sure some of the shows listed above might be watchable, but I think there are too many supernatural/fantasy shows and few truly sci-fi ones — especially set in space/future.
I believe that these tribes have had contact with other tribes that have much access to civilization. Look at that blade. Look at the cooking pan. These are not items such a tribe can create on its own.
@Steampunk Jammer: Regarding clothes, I don't really care if it's "better", as long as it does the job even at just "ok" manner, and it's cheap. I'm only anal about electronics, in which case I make sure I always buy the right thing for my needs.
@karmakazenz1: This does not change the fact that I'd never buy anything that's not dirt cheap. I know the rest of the prices, I look around, I don't go blindly to a pile of cloth that's marked as SALE. I don't buy something because it says it's on sale, I buy it because *I* find it cheap, compared to other similar…
@Jeromey Shannon: We're talking about commercials here, not things that are around us. Of course and our surroundings influence us, that's called culture. But I'm not influenced by deliberate commercials.
I never buy anything that's on ads, so I don't think any of that stuff work on me. I usually buy whatever run of the mill fresh food (which I cook myself), I buy whatever's on sale at Target regarding clothing, and as for the electronics I buy, I read so many reviews and go through their specs so deeply, that…
This new show is just not very good, I tried watching it last Friday, and I found it cheaply made, slow-paced, few thrills.
@Tadashii: I got word from the (professional) cinematographer who led his camera for this movie: Panasonic HVX200. It's a $5000 camera, but as I said, the producers don't seem to have paid for it.
@Tadashii: There was no shallow depth of field, so I think it was a normal HD camcorder, not a dSLR. Plus, a dSLR+lens costs less than $1000 these days, and most people already have them anyway. So it comes "for free" for the creation of such a movie.
@214w: No, I don't think it is retro at all. Of course I'm not talking about having storylines of Russia vs US, that was relevant only at the time, but the hero itself makes sense today too, on a modern story set.
@TheDarkWayne: Yes, I DO have a problem with Marvel's Gods. They (namely Thor, Hercules) make me cringe. I find nothing modern-super-heroic about them as Gods, I only just see a recycling of 2,500 year old ideas.
@rudecherub: These outfits are ridiculous in their own right. There is no scientific/sports reason to cut off the belly part of your outfit for example, other than to look sexy. It doesn't make you faster (no, it doesn't). So I don't find these athletes sexy, I find them pretentious and too much into the sports…
@TheDarkWayne: I don't believe in Gods or God, so yes, the whole premise feels implausible to me. Blocking bullets like that means that she's got such powers, that would make her too powerful, powerful enough to not be physically able to lose any battle. And a hero that has no weak spots can't sustain a movie. The…
I personally would not go see Wonder Woman in the theater. I don't like the premise of WW, and I find her looking completely laughable in that costume. And most importantly, avoiding bullets with her wristbands, really?!? At least Captain America has a full shield, so his case feels more probable.
@jnemesh: The fan-supported model does not work. It really doesn't. There is no way you will find enough fans to pay EACH week for an amount that is between $1mil and $3mil per episode! Even Wikipedia, and the very popular lately... Wikileaks can't make that much money in a single month, let alone a week, and let…
@jnemesh: I ditched cable last month. I will never go back to it. Between Netflix streaming/DVDs, a $40 interior TV antenna, Hulu streaming from my laptop to my TV via HDMI, and a $60 Roku (Netflix, Amazon On Demand, and mostly the amazingly artistic Vimeo videos), I need nothing more.
@bagellord: I have exactly the opposite opinion. Characters were not developing in SG1. They were the same throughout the series. SGU does have developing characters.
@KinoEscalate: I don't like the 2nd season as much as the first one.
@davefromgp: Exactly. As I wrote above, twice, the producers should have all the story pre-drafted, 2-3 seasons and for each episode, and then only then present the idea to the TV execs for realization.
