I was thinking of buying ReGenesis on DVD. For those who don't watch it, it's an awesome show made, produced and set in Canada. It's completely Canadian.

What's odd is, (at least from my net searching) it looks like the only place you can buy the DVDs is in the UK and they're UK region specific. (ie. region 2)

What's with that? Can you really not buy them in Canada?

Our dollar is on the slide again and it makes them mighty expensive if I convert the pounds. I guess I won't be buying those just yet.

I'm still indecisive about Spooks baby spin off. But, I've made some icons anyway. All from episode 4.

Want. Take. Have. Credit is always appreciated.

Teasers:


( 9 icons under the cut )


I also made a few random Regenesis icons:
1. 2. 3. 4.

I need a Carlos icon! I love that man! *squidges him* He's such a cutie-pie!

So, I watched the new ReGenesis episode finally. I haven't watched episode 3 yet, maybe tonight.

Oh how I love how these guys manage to make the most insane science work and as much as I sit there going "no way!" they actually cover themselves so well. Like this week, notice how they never actually gave the time-frame. ( just in case my squee contains spoilers )


Oooh - according to IMDb Conrad Pla (the guy that plays Carlos) used to be a professional kickboxer and still teaches! Awesome!

I just have to do a little *squee*-dance, because I just watched the season2 final of ReGenesis and I was having nasty flashbacks of the end of "The Pretender"... everyone remember how badly that ended?... and just no! But apparently there is a Season 3 in production, so I am so relieved. I just have to wait until March for it. I can do that though. Hopefully I still have internet access in March.

The article should anyone at all be interested is here. *sigh* There is a S3! Yay!

Look how happy David looks at the news. *points at icon* I love that scene. :)

Hee! I made a couple of Regenesis icons for myself. I've looked about and, at least on LJ, there appears to be no fandom for this funky show. Pity. Anyway, I love it, so I made my own icons.

Regenesis is a Canadian TV show set in Toronto.
The future is here. Bioterrorism. Designer babies. Frankenfoods. Suddenly Humanity possesses the ability to play god. But is it progress—or madness? Will cutting-edge science be our salvation? Or our demise?

ReGenesis is a new dramatic series about NorBAC, an organization formed to investigate questionable advances in biotechnology.

The Pandora's box of biotech is wide open. It's a modern gold rush, where billions will be made and geo-power will be staked. And everyone's involved: governments, multinational drug companies, rogue states, and terrorist. But ideas can't be put back in—once they're out, they're out.

The icon is of Dr David Sandstrom. He's the head of the lab at NorBAC and so fucking flawed that he's just endeared himself to me. Plus he hates to talk down to the non-science types. :p

In the scene in the icon, he's actually explaining viral replication to a woman he's a tad annoyed with. Teehee! I just love this show. Much of the love is to do with the fact that I work in a lab and the lab-speak dialogue in the show is obviously written by someone who works in a lab. They don't talk down to each other like they do in other shows (the exposition is always when someone non-sciency needs it explained) and they have cool little scene changes that sort of give an impression of time passing.

Anyway [/squee]
I have 2 new icons. *grins*

I love this show! The scientists talk science to each other and it's sensible science. I giggled insanely when the virologist lady told the main guy (I've forgotten the names of the character already :p) that "they PCR'd the hell out of it and it's not there!" We say "PCR'd" all the time. Mwahahahaha! (PCR = polymerase Chain Reaction for those not in the know. *grins*)

Teehee! Finally a science-based show that managed to do its exposition realistically. That is, they explain it in laymans terms to someone who needs it explained that way. The scientists talk science to each other though, which rocks! They mention ELISA assays and PCRs and other stuff I do every day and they are talking cloning and molecular biology and altering viral DNA to create chimeras...It's far out, but it's all sensible, realistic and possible! (Though the baby was a bit far out. Course they mentioned siRNA and that as so in my honours project! *cough* *is so a geek*)

Oh I have so found a new favourite show of the moment. Thank god for Canadian television. I am so hooked right now! I'd watch episode three, but I want to watch House.


Oh and GIP!!! Look what Katie (_wwsd_) made me.


...and I love This! A video in which Chris Judge makes fun of ben Browder at the Spacey awards. Teehee! They are so cute!
