I've only put new shows, who will air their first season in 09-10. Sancturay is a returning show and therefore not new.

ah damn....Thought we got ya there

[knowles2]

Well here my vies.

Flashforward

It an interest story and plot, I got some worries about there being a regular cast through and whether they going to actually make it look like a world wide event and not just a American event. Just hope they been watch Lost and been taking notes. Unless they taking the investgatiory route where they are investigating the flashforwards and helping people.

Day one,

Okay so it a Jericho/survivor remake so what, it look goods, got good sexy looking girls. Hey I will watch.


Stargate Universe
It stargate enough said.


Caprica
It got potential, and the pilot was alright but I just do not think it will go in the direction its needs to and it will be drag out far to much. I will probably survive, what else has scifi, oops sorry Syfy channel got.

Warehouse 13

If it can make it self different to Fringe and Xfiles and Eleventh hour then it may stand a chance. From the look of it so far it has potential but need to cut down on the comedy, get serious and focus on why they reassign to the warehouse after saving the president butt, the artefacts should be secondary story that helps the first along.

V

While make is it a remake, we defeated the visitors twice, why not let them come and try fpr a third time. This seem to have lazy production lazy writing written all over it. But the visitor space ship look pretty nice.

Human Target

Have not heard of the comics but I guesting it going to try and ride the wave of successfull comic book films. Wondering if it will have the budget through. If it given what 24 is given then it stands a chance. If not it will probably be cancel.


Vampire Diaries
Interest and bucket load of potential. Just hope they copy what tru blood been doing and it may get renewed for the second season.

Past Life

Intrigue by the plot, but the plot also got cancel half way through leave the audience hanging written all over it. Plus Fox dumbing down scifi will mean it will not fulfilled it potential.

Now will someone go and kill Joss fans, seriously Dollhouse was alright but it was no where near tscc.

UPDATE:- New promos and promotinal photography have been added to a number of the listed threads.
POLL - now added to the thread

[jenks]

I'm looking forward to Stargate: Universe and V. Having watched the pilot for Caprica I don't see how it's going to hold my attention, they're falling into the same pitfalls they did with BSG by having no likeable or relate-able characters, which in what is basically a soap opera, is suicide in my opinion. Can't really comment on the others as I don't know much about them.

Fall TV: Which sci-fi/fantasy series will win, lose, draw?

The long wait is over. The decisions have been made. The scheduling has been done. Now all we have to do is watch our favorite sci-fi television shows next season and fall in love with some new ones. Suddenly, it really is all about us.

For now, it's time to assess which shows will be winners and which will be losers.

[nx01a]

Only SGU, really. I'm hoping V and Human Target are good, but I'm not holding out hope.
As for the others, they sound like X-Files/Buffy/Jeremiah/Medium/Charmed/Supernatural ripoffs and probably won't last the first 13 episodes.

[the fifth man]

As of right now, I am really looking forward to SGU, Caprica, and V. I am hoping a few of those other shows pleasantly surprise me too though.

[Killdeer]

Well, I'm definitely trying Warehouse 13. Possibly also V (I like the casting) and Human Target.

[MIZA]

i am very much looking forward to Caprica a little more the SGU, but i am also very worried about Caprica getting canceled

[Madwelshboy]

Right now V is the most appealing to me. Will give SGU, Warehouse 13 and potentially Flash Forward a try. Will need to see a bit more information about the others before i make a decision.
