Due to the US Labor Day Holiday, SciFi Wire won't be updated again until September 4th.

"Eureka" is doing quite well in season two for the SciFi Channel. ECW appears to be losing ground (slowly). Poor Painkiller Jane (and it's not just poor, it's terrible...) has been MIA in the top ten for weeks.

And there was a news article from Access Atlanta, that mentioned:

SciFi’s “Flash Gordon” - SciFi looks like it has another loser on its hands. After the cheesy opening episode drew a respectable 2.1 million last week, nearly half the curiosity seekers left in a flash. The show only drew 1.14 million last Friday (Aug. 17th).

Happy National Beheading Day! I’m sure you’re all celebrating in your own special ways. For my part, I feted the event with chocolate, a good book, and FilmFocus’s Top 10 Movie Decapitations:

http://www.filmfocus.co.uk/specials/topten.asp?id=decapitations

**snippage**

Let’s field some questions and comments:

PG15 writes: “Which episodes have yet to be filmed? Are all of the episodes being written/finished being written?”

Answer: Outcast is being re-written as we speak and there’s a first draft out of the season finale, The Last Man. We are partway through filming Harmony and will be moving on to Trio next. Outcast will follow Trio and then we’ll be finishing up with season finale.



Teyilia writes: “1) I can see that you guys are gonna be (possibly) rushed for the finale as you guys are gonna film it AFTER the season goes on the air? 2) is that good or bad? 3) how long does it take to flim one eposide? and the last one has been a bit changed... 4) If you see Rachel can you pass on a "hi" from her counterparts kitty please?”


Answers: 1) Why would you assume we are rushing anything? The season premiere has no effect on our shooting schedule. 2) ? 3) 7 days. 4) Sure.



Becky S writes: “In what episodes of season 4 will we see David Ogden Stiers appearing?”

Answer: You’ll be seeing him early in season four.



Anonymous #1 writes: “oooooh genii jerry is very good looking!! Can we expect to see him regularly? Please?”

Answer: Jerry? Is that you?



Charlie writes: “I really want to know if David.H and Joe.F are democrats or republicans.”

Answer: Feel free to ask them at their next con appearance.
