In a story at io9.com about televisions shows that “Could Save Small-Screen Scifi” I can’t believe this was on the list:
Steven Spielberg’s untitled alien invasion series, starring Noah Wylie. We can’t wait until this show gets a title that’s less of a mouthful.
via 18 Upcoming TV Shows That Could Save Small-Screen Scifi – Television – io9.
Didn’t the world learn anything from Taken? Namely, that if you give Spielberg small-screen time he sucks it up and pisses it away. Twenty full hours of screen time devoted to a concept, but completely lacking in Plot, Conflict and Resolution. Taken wouldn’t have gotten a passing grade at a third rate film school.
I do not want to see anything ‘new’ by Spielberg, especially since he has already screwed up his chance at an ‘alien invasion series’. Alien Apocalypse, which despite having Bruce Campbell, was pretty horrible; but it was pure Oscar material compared to Taken.
What I want is my twenty hours of my life back. Damn you, Spielberg, give them back!
Looks like it is finally happening!

2. SecureCRT for OS X Enters Limited Alpha Release
--------------------------------------------------
Development of SecureCRT for OS X (Apple Mac) continues to
progress. We have begun very limited alpha testing with a
small group of users. If that testing goes well, the alpha
will be expanded to a wider group of users. There will be
an announcement in the newsletter when the OS X version is
available for public beta testing, which will likely be later
this year.
If you would like to be notified when SecureCRT for OS X
is available for public beta testing, please e-mail
Maureen Jett at Maureen.Jett@vandyke.com.
