Third night of "Childhood's End" on Syfy is tonight.

I think it has been great. Good acting, good effects. Creepy overlord.

They show the first two of the series before the new one. I've been impressed.

1. Yes, real science fiction!

A close to faithful but updated adaptation of the classic Arthur C. Clarke novel.

to the return of "Tywin Lannister"! Perfection! (Anyone remember 'him' in Eddie Murphy's "The Golden Child"?)

2. So that's who the overlord was.

I found myself a little sympathetic to Karellen...is that how you spell it?

Great costuming effects.

Found this interview of Mike Vogel and Charles Dance.

3. Part 3 was just boring.

I expected the dark mood etc, but it just lingered on the same characters for way too long.

4. Agreed

It was like an X-files episode
