Andrew Ryan chats from the TV Critics' Tour in Los Angeles
Globe and Mail Update
TV critic Andrew Ryan is spending a few weeks in Los Angeles at the annual TV Critics' Press Tour, 18 days of fall television previews, glitzy evening events and endless celebrity interviews.

...Andrew, can you paint a brief picture of the atmosphere there? Is it total chaos, with flashbulbs blasting and orange juice and champagne for breakfast every day, or is it a little more of a subdued slog going from preview to preview and trying to keep interested?
Andrew Ryan: Well, there are some flashbulbs going off. Most of the evening events on the TV Tour are off-site, and there are usually red-carpets and so forth. Last night was a particularly strange event: A party sponsored by the Sci-Fi Channel for the departing series Stargate. The event took over the entire back lawn of the Ritz-Carlton hotel here in Pasadena, and they had spent days arranging the party. There were also people walking around dressed as superheroes, since the cable schedule included a new series called So You Think You're a Superhero, executive produced by Stan Lee. One of the characters is called "Cell Phone Girl," so you can guess her super power.

That, or he just isn't too fond of the show.
Farscape and BSG tend to be the shows that garner critical acclaim, but we all know what happened to Farscape, and I'd honestly like to see if BSG makes it past the sixth season mark - let alone 10 years.
