Actually a couple of the shows remind me of this show my lil' bro used to watch...hmmm...what was it called...guy back from the dead, sending escaped damned back to hell, tattoos to keep track...hmm...it'll come to me...pretty good show actually, had the chick who played Tank Girl as kinda a satellite character.

*babbling now*

The series you are referring to was "Brimstone."
Yet another FOX genre show that bit the big one before its time. The actress was Lori Petty.

Whatever happened to the Sci-Fi Channel that would show classic science fiction television and movies on a regular basis?

Legion. about a young man who sells his soul to the devil to save his daughter's life and finds out that he must leave his family and wander the world with the ability to recognize other demonically possessed souls.

then what? Do they get together and go bar hopping? Maybe a little demonic kareoke?

Let's go through them:

•Dead Lawyers. one-hour series, about hotshot defense attorney Jimmy Quinn, who is run over by a bus and finds himself in a law firm composed of unscrupulous lawyers who must return from the dead to redeem themselves by defending everyone they screwed when they were alive—pro bono!

I can understand why this is on Sci-Fi, lawyers would consider this their worst nightmares! Sounds like that sci-fi made for tv movie where all the cowboys who went to purgatory went. I think it had markie marks' brother in it. that was a good movie, everyone was named after plants. I don't have as much faith for this, unless it's a comedy.


•The Divide. This mystery series centers on a bogus radio psychic who discovers that his abilities are real when he is visited by the ghost of his twin sister. With the aid of a coroner, the team solves crimes.

Sounds like Crossing Jordan meets Madam Cloe.

•Legion. about a young man who sells his soul to the devil to save his daughter's life and finds out that he must leave his family and wander the world with the ability to recognize other demonically possessed souls.

then what? Do they get together and go bar hopping? Maybe a little demonic kareoke?

•Stargate: Atlantis. a new team in the Stargate SG-1 universe. A secret base left by the originators of the Stargate is found in the most unlikely of places: on Earth, buried within the ruins of the legendary civilization of Atlantis. A new team travels to a distant universe, where they find a primitive human civilization threatened by a sinister new enemy.

Soon to be followed with Stargate: Miami.

•Painkiller Jane. Based on the Event Comics series, this superhero series focus on a young marine officer, Jane Browning, who is exposed to a biochemical weapon that changes her genetically, endowing her with incredible self-healing powers. She becomes an ultra-covert agent fighting crime while struggling to remain free from those who would now use her gifts for sinister purposes.

Sounds like Dark Angel, and I never watched Dark Angel! But seriously, this also sounds like the Bionic Woman, the 6 Million Dollar Man, and any psychic to come onto a science fiction show. The originality of this network just leaves me speechless.

•Clive Barker's The Evil One. told from the perspective of an evil demon, in which the forces of good and evil do battle each week.

This actually sounds like something I would watch. You never see the bad guy's POV. This is actually something with promise. I'm now going to check to see if anyone's seen any flying pigs, or if anyone know's Hell's temperature.

•Total Eclipse. This series centers on Jeremy Cross, a new teacher at Greylock College, who discovers that the school is a nexus of the supernatural, where the faculty's IQ increases annually, intelligent wolves roam the forests and research deals with time travel, ESP and anything else on the edge of science.

Buffy goes to college. oh yeah, she went to college. This could be the college that Willow would have gone to if she didn't follow Oz and the Scoobies.

•Suture Girl. Developed from the Gretchen Culver character in the Spawn comic-book series, this series centers on a former advertising executive who was murdered by a serial killer and finds herself stitched back to life and imbued with special powers by a mysterious gypsy woman. Suture becomes a voice for the oppressed and a court of last resort as she fights evil with the help of a handsome crusading lawyer.

OK, they're not even trying anymore.


Tried to be nice, but then the meds wore off and the sarcasm gene kicked in.

What's wrong with Stargate? After Firefly got cancelled its the best Scifi on tv! My rankings of current shows:

1. Angel
2. Alias
3. Stargate

The spinoff could be really good. The show has gotten better every year and the premise of the new one sounds really good. And I think that description is wrong. It's another galaxy, not universe.

But what is with all the demon shows? They cancell Angel so they want to put 10 crappy versions in its place?
