oh ok just thought I'd ask. anyways this season of sigma 6 looks like its going to be great

Yeah its 50 bucks for basic here but we get specialty channels with things like Space (Canadian Scifi Channel), Comedy Central, Cartoon Channel etc, I'm more surprised that the Canadian Cartoon channel picked up Sigma 6 and here I thought the Canadian market was so anti-joe.

In just couple of years, broadcast t.v. signals in the U.S. will be changed, and you won't be able to pick up diddly squat without adapters. Most people are unaware of it...then, most people have cable. (some cable systems have a very basic package, but you have to harass them to find out about it, maybe because they know many people could due without 50% of the channels?)

The Fox affiliated on Cable/satellite here does't show cartoons satuday mornings , I have to pick up a fuzzy broadcast signal from the next Fox station over or wait until Sunday, when they actually show the Fox toons.

Aside from new characters, today's episode wasn't much different from last season, lots of repetative action and about 1/4 actual plot cotent compared to an 80's episode. Never mind animation differences, etc, when it comes to story telling, Sigma Six barely holds my attention. A shame, really.

Lava Boss, I agree. I'm a S6 toy fan. I look over the filecards and then throw 'em in a box and create my own thang. I managed to get thru the "Robot Rebellion/Rise of the Robots" story and while it had potential, it SUCKED in my eyes. Dumbing down the cartoon for kids doesn't make it a better cartoon. There is absolutely no reason why they need to dumb it down. Gundam Wing (and Gundam Whatever) were for kids and they didn't need to cater it to 8 yr olds. And guess what the huge fad was? Shoot, at least YuGiOh catered to 8-10 yr olds, y'know?

Anyway, from what I saw, it sucked. I liked the animation. I liked the new direction. I loved the lil things that added humor (Kamakura falling head first into the snow in Ep1). Even Duke being as wooden (as Keanu Reeves) was fine with me. What I couldn't stand was the incredibly amount of talking! By Ep6 (I think), Zartan is babbling on and on and on and on... Shut up and just start shooting!

I'd love to view ALL the episodes to get a better opinion but I'm guessing that the mini-series and the rest of SEason1 were about the same. And Season2, I understand things got fixed but if the writing can't be deeper or better, I'm not interested. The concepts are great, execution, as usual is quite poor.

Thanks LB. Now I don't mind missing the cartoon.
