Why come up wtih orignal material when you can just re-hash the old stuff eh? Been seeing a great deal of reviews on this one and there have been some rather positive comments, along with the negatives. As always, time and Nielson rating will tell.The next interesting "remake" will be when the new Dr.Who series begins in 2005 on BBC with a new doctor.Regardless of how either show fairs, the efx shots will certainly look better then the orginals.# posted by Anonymous : 11:28 PM
To be fair, I think the writers at SciFi are coming up with a semi-original story and maybe characters that weren't in the original. If it's as good as "Legend of Earthsea" I'll watch it. That is, it retains the cheeziness characteristic of sci-fi TV series in general, but the writing is just interesting enough to keep my attention. One has to lower one's standards for these things.
I guess you get anxious ... and we all know what that’s like. But I think that “ yakhal ” (Hebrew) or " elpis " (Greek) does not preclude the possibility of action - whether it’s writing about the situation, or something more (and don't underestimate the power of journaling!) Indeed, you don't think of prophets or apostles as the kind of people to sit around just waiting for something to happen. They act, but their action is tempered by the realization that things don’t look too good at the moment (otherwise why would the issue even be coming up?) So they act and wait at the same time, knowing that the fruits of their action are ultimately dependent on the Lord. And of course the Lord is known to have us do things for a while before any kind of clear result is made known. Like planting, and then watering, and then waiting, for a seed to turn into a plant. Farmers probably understand waiting a lot better than we do. They think in seasons and years, not months or we...
