For those of you had sky one for few years would of seen these two sci-fi series, on 1st nov sky will lauched sky 3 which will replace sky travel on freeview. i have look scedule and i want whether these Sci-fi shows are any good

Mutant X

Jake 2.0

there are also showing tru calling but i know that's good.

Mutant-X is a rip-off of X-men. Jake 2.0 is a rip-off of The Bionic Man.

Neither of them grabbed me, but you young'uns might like them

i'm not a young one, i heard of them thought they might be good.

u didn't watch them?

I never really watched either of them, but I've heard Jake 2.0 was alright & Mutant X wasn't, but had a guy who looked like Andy Warhol in it.

Well I had them on, generally more in the background while I did other stuff.

And you're a young'un compared to me

And you're a young'un compared to me

ok, i like to be called young adult rather then young kid

And how do you feel about being called an un?

un is that even a word?

Well in French it means "a" (masculine). But here's it's a corruption of "one".

So in other words you're a one

that what i miss about you, ur wit, how comes u don't post as much as u used to?

You know, I think you're the first person ever to miss my shining wit

I was never all that big on talking about TV programmes, it was the off-topic ramblings that were fun for me. It seems as though a lot of the old gang don't post much anymore, so I kind of drifted off.

I still look in every now and then though

you always make me laugh not many people can do that

Good to know, cheers

Hmmm, that wasn't very funny...damn, now I feel like I'm under pressure to perform!

Hey Bug Where you been?

You know we're in a for a good old off-topic ramble. Care to start one?

You can begin by wondering where Kat and Vern have run off together to...

Well that's just pandering to my dodgy side Mickey

Although I've always thought there was a spark between them...

Hiya Sumaiya. I guess I've just been lurking in other places. And for the past couple of months I've been working on probably the most most difficult and complicated piece of work I've ever done. I haven't had as much mental energy left over as usual. The core of it's done and working very nicely now

Although the mental energy isn't likely to last long given what's coming up

Why can't they pay me just for being me? I could be an expensive ornament

No Mickey, not a garden gnome!

OI! I'm here.....Vern is not with me

I have missed you too Bug.
Hey Sumaiya *waves*

Wonder how Nat's getting on? Hope Abs is okay too. It's not the same as it was here, is it.....we'll have to get some off-topic tangent rambling going
......but not right now, as I'm off to watch Without A Trace See ya! x

Hey there Kat, I missed you more

You weren't around much when BBBB was on though. Guess what the extra B's stand for

I haven't heard from Abs in ages, apart from a couple of mass e-mails.

And no sneaky talking-about-TV, bad Kat (very bad Kat)!

So you've had a tiff with Verno then?

I saw the ad for Zoolander last night that C4 are showing at the weekend and thought of Nat. She loved it.

Hi Kat /*Waves back*
Glad to hear the work is keeping you busy Bug, less time for to you to get yourself into trouble

Mutant X

Jake 2.0

I don`t like Jake 2.0. I got very bored. I managed the pilot ep, and that`s about it.

Mutant X is slightly better, as long as you can ignore gaping plot holes, and two dimensional charactors. At least there are pretty boys and girls to look at while it`s on.

Thanks Angelus- what would i do without you

i am going be watching both, i am excited about mutant X but i never heard of jake 2.0. i just wondering about it. is it rip-off of The bionic man as bug so elegantly put it

well, only in as much as Jake is a super enhanced being. But whereas the Bionic man/woman/boy/dog`s powers were deliberatley given him ("we can rebuild him/her/it"), Jake`s were accidental. "whoopsie!"

More like a rip off Spiderman, but where Jake gets INFECTED by a chemical rather than bitten by an infected spider.

Or a rip off of the Incredible Hulk, where David gets changed by a light beam.

Or a rip off of any and all shows where the Lead, for one reason or another accidentally or otherwise gets supercharged powers, and has to deal with them. Sometimes the superpowers gets him onto trouble, othertimes they miraculously get him out. "Wow! I didn`t know I could do THAT!!"

Mutant X comes into the above category as well, but in their case the superpowers were a mutant strain that were genetically bred into them. They`ve had their powers all their lives, just like Superman.

Even the Fantastic Four is only a slight variation on the same theme.

See, all things are related. Jake and Mutant X are just watered down versions of a successful formulas. Someone thought they could cash in on the popularity.

Thanks again, i will have to wait until november to find out but if this thread still exist i will tell u what i think

It's getting other people into trouble that's the real trouble

Angelus, with Jake 2.0 it's not just the super powers but also the fact that he becomes a secret agent because of them, that's the other major link with Steve Austin. Loads of secret missions that only he can do...

ok i think we should try not spoil it for me Bug
