Sci-Fi Party Line #173 A passionate goodbye to Almost Human

489557

“I would love to know what was over the other side of the wall.”
– Darrell (@thevoice123)

“After Firefly, why in the world would they do this again?”
– Carl (@robominister)

“The real question is after Firefly why were lured into watching?”
– Cat (@fancyfembot)

“Let me tell you- cave bear, exoskeleton, murder suit- that was awesome!”
– Stephanie (@stephbystereo)

The RoboMinister delivers a powerful eulogy for the Sci-Fi Party Line‘s most beloved show, Almost Human.

Today’s mourners are Darrell, Stephanie, Carl, and Cat. We discuss, in excruciating detail, why we are sad about the cancellation of Almost Human. Later in the episode we got into a debate about… something…

We have shawarma!

Carl’s Almost Human Eulogy

‘Chirren of the Church of Sci-Fi..

We’ve gathered together again today.
To say goodbye to another- who was- gone too soon!
It seemed as quickly as Almost Human had appeared- and become a part of our life’s- it was cruelly
Snatched- snatched from our collective hands..

The loss of a show is ALWAYS hard- but especially one so young YOUNG- so- full of potential..

They’d hardly taken the wrapped off of poor Dorian-

Rudy- had only left the lab once..

Our man Kennex- was it too much to ask for a little..
Doe-eyed Clone strange??..
He was a hard working man
We KNEW he was at full capacity..

Instead they chose to leave the fans again behind an impenetrable wall.
The fate of our friends lost forever- to the ether-net..
The ken-doll executives glare at us with their lifeless eyes.

Some of you may say Robominister- you’re not being fair and balanced,
I say don’t put your FAITH in the Deceiver!!
We’ve been down this path too many times before..

There was a time, as fans,
we- knew our Tru Calling..
we could count on Briscoe
we- walked the line- with Vansen and the Wildcards

But always under the fear of the Touch– of the MAN.T.I.S!

Curse their- sudden but inevitable betrayal..

WHY OH- Why did good Book have to die?
It was a sin to take away our WASH!
(Zoe I’m here for you- just look me up on the Cortex..)

Why are we doomed to this continual solitude?
Lone Gunmen in this Harsh Realm where
only the chronicles of Sarah Connor could be the Rock! – of our Alien Nation..

As Fans our days of trusting this network has COME TO A MIDDLE!!

We can only hold close to our hearts the likes of Tyson, and Ichabod, and Abbie
In the hopes that they’ll survive..
They’re a different denomination- but of a shared faith..

For those that continue to betray us, there’s
a very special level of hell- where they will find no Serenity..

Yes.. For us there will always be a better place-
our eyes set to the future
This is a fertile land and we will thrive..

For the rest of us there always a better place
There are others.

I believe there’s a place where they know a good show takes TIME to mature-
I believe there’s a place where a show is not judged by it’s share of the bear-
but by the content of it’s characters.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death…

May the church say A-BRams!!

Abrams…

Sci-Fi Party Line #169 #AfterDark Heroes Reborn, Ghostbusters, Cosmos, Farscape, Helix, Terminator: Genesis

heroes-reborn

“I BELIEVE IN HEROES REBORN!!!”
– Carl (@robominister)

“This is like you had this really nice boyfriend and he was nice to you for the first two years. Then he beat you, cut your leg off, and took you to a creepy carnival.”
– Cat (@fancyfembot)

“There were good things about Nemesis!”
– Cat (@fancyfembot)

“Does being legless negate make-up sex?”
-Eric (@BullittWHO)

“Out of the Sarengeti! RIDE THE ZEBRA!”
– Carl (@robominister)

Welcome to Sci-Fi Party Line After Dark. Carl is rocking the eye patch. Cat is rocking the bowling shoes. Eric is rocking the Jim Beam Maple.

Carl defends Heroes Reborn. Cat tries to bring sanity to the episode and explains to him why he is wrong; as usual. We discuss the passing GhostbustersHarold Ramis. You may be surprised at Carl’s reaction to the Matrix prequel news. Carl tries to sell us on a Matrix fan film; Kaydara. Cat is excited about an opportunity associated with Netflix’s Marvel The Defenders in NYC. Again, they both agree on their apprehension for CW’s iZombie. Carl is SUPER PUMPED about M. Night’s new micro-budget vampire film. Eric the Sad Hobo joins the episode live from a bar. After they update him on the conversation, all of them agree and are anticipating Cosmos: A Space Odyssey. They talk about the Being Human/ Almost Human cancellation confusion. Carl professes his love and disappointment in Jeri Ryan’s appearance on Helix. There is some awkward bar bathroom stall talk but Cat rescued the situation by talking about the new Farscape spin-off film. Cat is also concerned about Spider-Man fatigue with the Sony announcement that they want to release a Spider-Man movie every year including Venom & The Sinister 6. They bring up the racial controversy about the Fantastic Four casting but decided they didn’t care. The Gotham TV show is curious creation but the crew seems to adopt a wait-and-see attitude. They don’t care about Jessie Eisenberg being cast as Lex Luthor after the Ben Affleck Batman Man of Steel announcement. Transformers 4 with Marky Mark makes Carl look like a hypocrite for defending Heroes Reborn. Cat is thrilled about Terminator: Genesis, Carl is skeptical, and Eric is confused about what genesis means. They wrap up the episode with more Almost Human discussion.

24: Live Another Day.

– Cat (@fancyfembot)

I love the black ooze from The X-Files. I love deadly horrible viruses and projectile vomit.
– Stephanie (@stephbystereo)

Oh we know it’s transmitted by saliva with all of the baby bird feeding scenes we’ve seen.

We’re not watching TV to live more life. We’re watching TV to get away from life.

Sci-Fi Party Line #166 Grimm, AHS: Coven, Almost Human, Contracted

grimm319

“Everything about this movie was half-assed.”
-Stephanie (@stephbystereo)

“…then fade to MF black! The movie was over!”
-Cat (@fancyfembot) 

“Time out. I’m not a gynecologist but…”
-Darrell (@thevoice123)

Fine.

This show was recorded back in December. This episode was super long but well worth the wait because it’s totally NSFW!

The crew is Darrell, Stephanie, and Cat and today they discuss Grimm, American Horror Story: Coven (@34:55), Almost Human (@1:19:50), and Contracted (@1:50:55). We find out who Derrick is, Stephanie wonders if the cast and crew of Grimm listens to the show, Cat gives the cast and crew of Grimm a code word if they do, and both of the ladies are on Sasha Roiz #ShirtlessRage #ShirtlessWatch. Darrell is an innocent bystander in the train wreck of a review for Contracted.

art-streiber_agentsof-shield-cast

“J. August Richards was all up in the pilot which I thoroughly enjoyed!”
-Cat (@fancyfembot)

“I like absolutely everything about Sleepy Hollow.”
-Carl (@robominister)

“It’s not something that I would want to continue to watch. Also… it reeks of cancellation.”
-Eric (@bullittWHO) 

Today’s crew is Eric (@bullittWHO), Carl (@robominister), and Cat (@fancyfembot). We discuss the Agents of SHIELD pilot and the first 2 episodes of Sleepy Hollow (@43:55). There was an extensive conversation about 1700’s architecture. Mutant X, Heroes, X-Files, Lost, and other shows were mentioned.

Sci-Fi Party Line #158 When your sci-fi parents fight…

Under-the-Dome-cow

“Do you miss me?”
-Cat (@fancyfembot)

“If I say Cardassian and you hear Kim Kardashian and you are a science fiction fan but you think of her first before you think of Deep Space Nine? I don’t know who you are anymore.”
-Cat (@fancyfembot)

“It’s dirty Quark’s. It’s like Quark’s but like the back room with Dabo girls on the prowl.”
-Carl (@robominister) speaking about Defiance

[[[[[[[[[[[[[ SPOILER ALERT ]]]]]]]]]]]]]

Poor Cat (@fancyfembot) was under the strain of mid-terms and suffering from bronchitis so Carl (@robominister) decided to, straight up Mommie Dearest style, pull her away from her studies and recovery to RE-DISCUSS Under the Dome and Defiance. Cat is highly suspicious of Carl’s motives. Carl is as haughty as a hipster and claims to not have an ulterior motive.

Will Cat kick Carl out of the airlock or just make him sleep out on the shuttle bay?
