Childhood's End

[H2S]

If you love stories that challenge your assumptions & beliefs in a way that is both tragic and exhilarating...
DO NOT MISS tonight's airing of the first (of 3) 2-hour installments of Arthur C. Clarke's magnificent classic
CHILDHOOD'S END. 8-10pm/SciFi Channel.

good for SciFi...more space stuff, less pro wrassling n shit.

This makes almost as much sense as The Real World on MTV...

sounds like you've already MISSED more than can be replaced, DEPT...

pfft...
only putzes who've actually watched The Real World on MTV can make such inane comparisons.

I watched TRW all the time, when I was a teenager. I think London was the last season I watched (15 years ago? More?)

Childhood's end has promise... Hope it is good...

but you've never seen, nor (highly likely) read Clarke's CHILDHOOD'S END, have you...???

so, you've dined on contemporary television pap while eschewing transcendent fiction - and think yourself qualified to compare?

good stuff.

You COMPLETELY missed my point.

I was saying that Wrestling on SyFy made as much sense as TRW on MTV.

oh...
I didn't expand to see what you bolded.
you're right, I completely missed your point.
(geez, like, in my whole life that's never happened before - except this one, or umpteen-some times)

sorry.

childhood's end was pretty entertaining...

childhood's end was pretty entertaining...

gots to admit I've been hair-trigger ready to criticize this production, but, so far I've only had one minor pout:

Karellen's makeup is way overdone - to the point of all that goofy shit on his head actually detracting from Charles Dance's dominating 'hawks' eye presence...and is way too much like this dude from LEGEND/1985:

 

[H2S]

speaking of Arthur C. Clarke...said

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

what SFX digitalization offers these days is nothing short of magic...
present that magic in a reasonable context and you've got a winner.

 

[MilkSpiller22]

But is childhood's end a show or just a 3 day mini series???

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

I'll be off from Dec. 22nd thru Jan. 5th, so I'm gonna watch all 3 CE eps ondemand one day during that time.
