My Cox DVR says the same thing.

The A&E website says part one is from 7-9 PM and part two is from 9-11 PM.

I guess I have to set my recording manualy.

Okay I have looked at the A&E web site and they did some really bizarre scheduling.

Monday May 26th: Part 1 at 9pm.

Tuesday May 27th: Part I at 7pm and Part 2 at 9pm.....hence the 4 hour listing on my Directv DVR.

So, it looks like you can watch Part I and II at their regular times or watch the entire 4 hours starting at 7pm.....hmmmmm.

So, I guess you can manually set the 2 hour listing on Tuesday or watch it in one 4 hour sitting.

it's on a loop all night tuesday.
starting at 7 pm eas until 5 am.

Not bad. Certainly plays out like a TV movie. I wanted to see Christa Miller's tittays. :(

Some of the dialogue is bad, and the special effects are hokey, but story makes up for it.

Yeah, pretty much my reaction. Some of the dialogue is really clunky, but it's entertaining.

Geofferson 05-27-08 08:14 AM

Yeah, it lacks production value, but still plays out decent on the small screen.

mugwump 05-27-08 10:10 AM

I'm liking it but I'm also treating it like an extended B-movie with my wife and I shouting out to the screen as the ridiculousness unfolds. Somehow I doubt that's what the creators were going for but at least we're watching. The casting is just awful on all fronts.

Orbi-Wan Techno 05-27-08 03:15 PM

We're watching it, and so far, we like it, since there's really nothing else new to watch right now.

Mopower 05-27-08 04:07 PM

It's horrible. Those saturday night Sci-Fi originals are better. And if you disagree wait until you see part 2.

Lastyear 05-27-08 04:53 PM

Terrible. Rent the original instead.

dom56 05-27-08 05:28 PM

Yep, this new version blow won't waste my time in watching part 2. I also recommend you watch the original instead. Much more suspense and the last 10 min. of the film have my heart racing.

Deftones 05-27-08 07:26 PM

Fucking AandE. So now you clump the entire 2nd part with the 1st part, not allowing me to record only the 2nd part. Now I have to fast forward through 2 hours of shit to see the second part. Assholes!

whotony 05-27-08 07:49 PM

it was listed as 2 seperate parts on the guide i see, comcast.
part 1 was on at 7 and part 2 at 9, repeated all night.

Flay 05-27-08 07:49 PM

I love that A&E produced a series with cursing, but has to bleep out the cursing during the broadcast.

Not on DirecTV. It's listed as a 4 hour block.

I heard them say Shit like four times last night. :confused:

DJariya 05-27-08 08:02 PM

Couldn't you just do a manual record for tonight and only record the last 2 hours? I did that with mine for tonight.

That's not the case on my Comcast DVR.


It's been so long since I read the book... Wasn't the last scene of part 1 close to the end of the book? How are they going to stretch this out?

This happened to me too, only the guide was updated within the past day. So because the 9PM showing no longer existed, my TiVo canceled it, even though it was actually on. I was looking forward to watching it tonight, too.

whotony 05-27-08 08:37 PM

it's on all night long why cant you watch it?

Because I have to go to work tomorrow and don't want to stay up until 3AM to finish watching the second part?

They bleeped it out on the 7 p.m. EST re-air. Probably has to do with time of day as the 9 p.m. hasn't bleeped anything out.

Deftones 05-27-08 10:28 PM

The throwing of the thumb might have been the singular greatest moment in television history! :lol:

What did Sun die from? Was that like super hot/cold water? He couldn't have pulled Ricky Stratton from it to cut off his thumb?

He fell into the water from the reactor.

GradVT06 05-28-08 07:46 AM

Can someone clarify the ending for me? Either I was too tired or stupid to catch what happened....

Why was someone sent to kill Mancheck and the other guy in the car and who sent him?

And what was the meaning of the guy in the space station and what was he doing? Playing with the Andromeda virus it looked like... but from a regular space station, not one from some distant space or time... and did the symbol mean anything?
