DF TV Series / How was the series filmed?
« on: April 18, 2007, 02:52:30 PM »
This hit me last night.  I recently got HDTV at my home, and upgraded the DTV setup to accommodate that fact.  Among the channels you get with the HD package is Universal HD, which is shows from the Universal line up.   Ones I have notably caught were re-runs of Enterprise, and an episode of BSG, and an episode of SG:Atlantis.

I was wondering, was the series filmed in such a way that an HD rendition would be possible?  What ratio was it actually filmed in?  Things like that?  I'm curious because whereas I havent bought into either of the HD formats for discs (HD-DVD v. Blu Ray), I would love to see the series in HD.

Excellent, I was already looking forward to the upcoming 4th season of that show. I tend to keep an eye out for you former DS9 guys' names showing up attached to new shows, it's been a good indicator that I'll like it. :)

It's strange.. I have been trying to get my wife into the TV series the same way she took 2 years to get me to read the first of the novels.  I mentioned "Well, Robert Wolfe is the executive producer, the guy who did all that DS9 stuff".  And her one question was to hike up an eye brow at me and ask "The early episodes or the later ones???"

But apparently she's a fan of all the later stuff in the series, so all is good.

I've been posting the ratings info as I get it on the SciFi Channel Scheduling and Info thread.  Still waiting for some numbers for the first solo outing this past weekend.

SFTV.org

That, as I alluded to, is also exactly what I'm curious about.    I also read your longer and older post about SciFi's programming strategy.  I wonder if they'd ever consider a night of Eureka/Dresden with DLM lead in and no wrestling to be seen. 

I like wrestling from time to time, I like SciFi's programming.. But they are not two great tastes that, in my humble opinion, don't go great together.

Pretty happy so far.  I'd love it if the rating were about 25% to 50% higher, but Sunday nights are tough sledding.

That was a question I had, is there anywhere us obsessive number types can keep up with the ratings?  I have seen them occasionally for a given week, but I would love to know more.  Especially how the series is doing without BSG right next to it, as I would suspect that is a factor the powers that be will take into consideration as to if DF can be an anchor show or if it would always be a bridesmaid to some other heavier hitter.  I figured that since you were holding near BSG numbers on the weeks I saw things weren't horrible in ratings land.

Given my very limited play-time, is it really worth leveling my human mage up to 70?  Or should I just transfer all her gold to my undead priest?

You'll always end up regretting mothballing an alt when you want to go back to it later ;)  (70 dwarf warrior and 70 NE Hunter speaking here from experience...)  Although I also have horde side alts on my server (PvE to double play the AH's against one another...)  Also you mentioned being a geek for thinking CC meant Crowd Control.  When you said that I immediately thought "But if Harry learned to sheep things it would pretty much be breaking one of the rules about transformation.. right?!?!?!"  He should still be able to ice block things up though.

Now my more pressing question.

Any plans currently on getting around to the Wizard McCoy? And if so, any spoilers on how his relationship to Harry would be since it's reasonably obvious he didn't get to spend his formative years training under him in the series, as he did in the books?
