The Dresden Files on Sci Fi

[iceman]

I watched my first episode of this last night and really enjoyed it, it looks very promising.

Is anyone still watching this? I watched with first three episodes and thought it was okay it couldn't keep my intrested and I have stopped watching them. I have them all on DVR but want to know are they worth watching or should I just delete them. Thanks

I've watched them all Kenny and I'd say continue to watch them.  It took awhile to get going but the last 3-4 episodes have been very good.  There's a great female vampire episode, another episode with Claudia Black (trying an American accent out) and the most recent episode focuses on Harry's past dealing with his Uncle and black magic.  I really like the show a lot.  It's on my TIVO as a season pass!

I like it too Kenny - cool stuff dude!

I missed last weeks one, so I am going to try and find a torrent of it, but I have really been enjoying it, I hope they come back for another season.

Things might be looking a little glum for Harry Dresden fans. According to screenwriter and Jim Butcher’s friend Robert Wolfe, over at the JimButcher.com forums, it may be time for fans of The Dresden Files television show to start campaigning.

When that very question was put to him just yesterday Wolfe responded, “I suppose now is as good a time to push as any, though, honestly, I’m not sure it will help. The decision was supposed to be made last Friday, but it wasn’t, so that’s something at least.”

The decision he speaks of is the one that SCI Channel execs will be making concerning the renewal hopes of “The Dresden Files” for a second season. The show, which debuted last season didn’t do as well as many had hoped in its Sunday night timeslot, even though it was a lead-in for “Battlestar Galactica.” BSG’s numbers have also dropped since the move to Sunday night. Fans complained from the beginning that it was starting to look like SCI FI was pulling a Fox when it aired the episodes out of sequence (Fox basically buried “Firefly” when it did the same exact thing for that show).

It's too bad if it doesn't come back.  It was a nice, different type of show and fun to watch.  Fingers still crossed here.

I hope that they bring it back, as I really enjoyed it. I do agree that having the shows out of sequence was a bit confusing for me.

I was watching our Local news tonight, and they mentioned that they may film The Dresden Files in my home city next year :). First I am happy that it looks like it may be back, secondly I am happy that they might be filming it locally, so I might be able to see some of the shoots if I am lucky.

If things work out as officials in Edmonton are hoping, the city will be adding some badly needed jobs and income to their location. There is the possibility that Lionsgate Entertainment and SCI FI will be moving locations for The Dresden Files’ next season to Edmonton within the month with actual shooting set to begin in the fall.

The Dresden Files, a show about a P.I. who uses the magical arts to solve cases, is suppose to take place in Chicago, Illinois in the United States, but its first season was shot on various locations in and around Vancouver and Montreal.

One of the main factors for considering a move to Edmonton has been the city’s willingness to be open to the needs of the production, whereas, over the years since Montreal and Vancouver have become hot spots for film and television production, greater restrictions and costs have ensued for the many studios wanting to shoot there.

Another of the prizes that may come Edmonton’s way is the Masters of Horror series. The latter is almost a sure thing, whereas, Dresden coming to Edmonton will depend on whether or not the series gets picked up by SCI FI for another run. That decision from the network has yet to be made public.

Most of the residents of Edmonton are excited about the prospect of news roads, jobs and increased commerce, but a few are wary and worry that their city and it’s uniqueness will just get swallowed up in the “showbiz” glitz and loose site of who they are and what they stand for. Scott McKeen of The Edmonton Journal sums it up this way, “…a TV series will bring [in] some glamour to Edmonton, the likes of which we haven’t seen since Gretzky wore an Oilers jersey, or the SCTV gang filmed here. And if the city makes money on the deal, well, they can always invest it in asphalt.

Cool news!  Hope that means it's coming back for a second season.

Harry Dresden Magically Disappears

Bad news for fans of SCI FI’s “The Dresden Files.”

TV Guide’s media reporter and SPOILER expert Michael Ausiello reports in Wednesday’s Ask Ausiello column that sources report the show is “toast.”

No official word either way from the SCI FI Channel on if the series will come back for a second season.

That's too bad if it doesn't come back.  It was a pretty cool show I thought.
