Grand Star (2007) (lemmy.ca)

So I found this one season (26 episode) extremely campy sci fi TV show -- a low budget 2007 Canadian production -- called Grand Star. Watched a few episodes last night. OMG it's so terrible it is awesome.

It's like a B-grade GameCube era JRPG got crossed with Snowpiercer. I can't stop watching it somehow.

Anyone else seen this amazing piece of ... something? ;)

I've watched about half of that list. Well, when I run out of Grand Star episodes, I guess I have more warehouses to explore then haha.

To contrast this, see Vancouver sci fi, like the X Files, SG1, Smallville, The 100, Dark Angel, BSG, etc...

Or Halifax with... Lexx ;)

Andromeda and i think Cleopatra 2525 is an honorary CWS show even though it was filmed in New Zealand

Cleopatra 2525 is just something

can't go wrong with Gina Torres and Sam Rami it's crazy that she sang the opening theme. It's so bad in the best of ways

SG1

Stargate SG-1 is equal parts "Vancouver warehouse sci-fi" and "Vancouver rock quarry sci-fi"
