Autumn's sci fi offerings

Now I do like my TV and it usually takes a good month for me to decide whether or not a show is good enough for me to devote an hour a week to.
But only two episodes in and I have to admit that I'm hooked.
Created by Star Trek writer Brannon Braga and David S Goyer and starring Joseph Fiennes and John Cho, the has good characters and a great premise.
I have to say the hairs on the back of my neck stood up when Suspect Zero was first spotted.
Let's hope there's enough questions raised and answered to keep us all tuning in, and not turning off like season two of Lost.
Another show which could be promising is Stargate Universe, which kicks off this week.

Dubbed Stargate Voyager in some quarters, it follows the fortunes of an SG team which finds itself stranded on the other side of the universe.
Brit actor Robert Carlyle heads up the show, which got solid viewing figures when it premiered in the US last week.
But do we really need another Stargate series?
After all, look what happened to Star Trek: Enterprise. It didn't really get the run it deserved because it followed too close on the heels of Voyager.
The second series of Dollhouse (although I have to say I gave up half way though the first series) starts in the next few weeks.
Summer Glau joins the cast after FOX pulled the plug on Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (in favour of Dollhouse - travesty.)
First episodes have already aired in the US to a luke warm reception, so don't expect it to be around much longer.
Another show which might not even make it over
here is a remake of the classic sci fi series V.
Filming has already been put on hiatus with just four episodes ready to air so that scripts can be beefed up to "bring them in line with the quality of the pilot."
Another show which will be hitting our screens on BBC 2 in November is Defying Gravity.
The series follows eight astronauts living aboard an international spacecraft on a mission through the Solar System.
On a top-secret mission, their lives are being recorded and telecast on Earth as part of a documentary.
Starring Ron Livingston (Band of Brothers and Office Space) it hasn't performed particularly well in the US, having been aired in the notorious Friday night 'death slot'.
Also in the frame are new seasons of Heroes, Medium and Lost to follow in January.
So as the nights draw in and the weather turns chilly it looks like there will be plenty to keep us entertained on the box. Even if most of them get cancelled.
