SyFy 2014: Helix
 

One of a pair of new series from former BSG head Ronald D. Moore hitting the airwaves next year (the other being an "Outlander" series for Starz based on Diana Gabaldon's books).

Looks better than most of the garbage they put out.

I think 2014 might be a good year for genre television. There's stuff coming on SyFy, AMC and HBO that I'm really interested in seeing.

What else is coming?

Not as much as I thought, now that I do a little digging. HBO's doing Neil Gaiman's American Gods, supposed to run 6 years and rumored to start airing next year. AMC has been circling scifi for several years, although I don't think anything is official yet there. They've had several interesting looking concepts the last 2-3 years, and I just have the sense that they're going to have something new.

Premiere date set: Friday, January 10th at 10/9c.

Having Moore involved alone means it needs to be checked out.

The previews for this have definitely gotten my attention, looks like it might be the best thing syfy has ever done.

The subject is very current, i'll probably have to make time for this.

After Galactica, Ron Moore has money in the bank with me. Very much looking forward to this.

I haven't caught that one, but if this guy is responsible for bringing more serious, quality fare to syfy then good on him... they need to start getting rid of the schlock monster movies and do more projects like this.

That stuff is sooo bad, i cant imagine why anyone would watch them.

You haven't watched his Battlestar Galactica show? Holy ****. Drop what you're doing and go find those episodes. Be warned - you will lose about a week of your life cramming all those shows in, because you won't be able to put down the remote and sleep.

Yes, it really is that good.
