Goggins is amazing. Probably the best part about Hateful Eight.
He was in Sons of Anarchy right?
Yes, as the tranny. You'd know him more from Justified though, methinks.
I didn't like the promo commercial I saw for the series, so I'd pretty much written it off as a lost cause.Agreed! Goggins and McBride have great chemistry.

The 1980s sci-fi TV series Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future is coming back from the past, with original co-creator Gary Goddard among those behind a reboot plan for the Canada-U.S. space drama that spanned 22 episodes in syndication. The new series is titled Phoenix Rising and is in active development from Goddard’s Goddard Film Group and ex-Syfy execs Thomas Vitale and Craig Engler’s newly formed Planet X Productions.
Vitale worked at Syfy and Chiller for 22 years running the networks’ programming departments. Engler co-created and executive produced the Syfy series Z Nation, which returns for Season 3 in the fall. The Phoenix Rising pilot episode was penned by Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens, whose sci-fi cred includes writing for TV’s Star Trek: Enterprise. They also created and wrote last year’s Primeval spinoff series Primeval: New World. (Check out the Phoenix Rising teaser below.)
The plan is to raise awareness for Phoenix Rising this week at Comic-Con. Goddard Film Group partners Roger Lay Jr and Eric Carnagey are also exec producing. Todd Masters’ MastersFX will create the effects for the new series.
The original Captain Power, which starred Tim Dunigan as Capt. Jonathan Power and Peter MacNeill as Maj. Hawk Masterson, was set on Earth in the year 2147 and the aftermath of the Metal Wars, a global confrontation between humans and machines. It was one of the first series to incorporate CGI characters with live-action performers, and the Mattel toy line interacted with the visuals featured within each episode. It aired in 200 domestic North American TV markets and 46 international territories in 1987-88, and counted J. Michael Straczynski (Babylon 5, The Changling) among its writers.
Phoenix Rising picks up 15 years after humanity has lost a devastating war against an artificial intelligence called Overmind. Jonathan Power, the son of the man who caused that war, learns the truth about his father and discovers a new type of battle armor that will enable a small, mismatched team of soldiers and civilians to fight the Bionic armies of the New Order. Dunigan will return in a new role.
Goddard called the original Captain Power a landmark program – “a sci-fi series that was ahead of its time.” Added Vitale and Engler: “As fans of both science fiction and the Captain Power series, we’re excited to help re-imagine this iconic TV show for today’s viewers. Although the surprisingly dark themes, serialized storytelling and shocking character deaths featured within the series were well ahead of their time in 1987, they’re exactly the kind of story elements a modern viewing audience craves.”
Season 4 of Black Sails will be the last. All my favorite shows are ending.
A NEW GAME BEGINS
Totally! His character arch in that film is amazing. Not many writers could pull that off.

I didn't realize we were considering Hell on Wheels a good show. I love westerns and I couldn't get into that show for the life of me. I've heard mixed things from all my friends that stuck with it too. Maybe I will have to give it another chance someday.Hell on Wheels just ended for good too.

I thought the first 3 seasons were just OK. Watchable. The main actor, Anson Mount, I really like him. But the others characters where either hit or miss. Season 4 I thought was the best season. The show wasn't awful like most out there. I gave it a shot and enjoyed it, but wasn't in love with it. Something like a summer show when you are interested in watching something. If that makes sense seeing as most of the more popular shows run in the fall. It doesn't hurt that it was canceled lol.I didn't realize we were considering Hell on Wheels a good show.

My wife and I have been watching Blloodlines on Netflix. I remember a few people talking about it but now that Stranger Things has come out it seems everyone has forgotten about it.
We are just about done with season 1. It's interesting that they would show a flash-forward to how the season is going to end as the very first scene of the show. I also kinda like how they keep showing the same flashbacks (and a few more flash-fowards) but every time they add a little more detail or dialogue to it.
Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?
I actually had to laugh at this:

They're just starting to figure it out? Why would I start watching a new season of an ongoing show if I can't catch up with previous seasons easily?Nearly half of viewers say they wait until they’ve heard good things about a show before they will start watching it, said Alan Wurtzel, NBC’s President of Research and Media Development, today at TCA.
“It’s one of these things where, like, ‘Don’t waste my time on stuff that I’m really not going to like,’ and that puts a pretty big burden on us to essentially get people to kind of sample a program,” Wurtzel explained.
Presenting a brain-blistering amount of data on viewing trends based on NBC’s research, Wurtzel also revealed that, in a sort of Catch-22, more than half of people said that even if they hear good things about a show, “‘If I can’t see [previous] stuff before I go to the new episodes, I’m not gonna watch it’.”
“That’s a big deal….Everybody in the business has to take heed of that 54%, because it’s a huge issue,” he said.
And of particular interest to network execs before the start of the new TV season, 72% said they were more likely to start watching a returning series this fall on broadcast networks if they had access to all the past episodes on demand or online, to catch up.
“This is what people want,” Wurtzel says of the new data showing people want to watch stories in a coherent narrative order. “And we have to figure out a way to get it to them.”
