Classy Girls Don't Kiss in Bars, You Fool

If you like any of the following things, then you will like this news, I guarantee it:

  • Any shows on the channel formerly known as SciFi including, but not limited to, BSG, Smallville, Sanctuary, and Stargate Universe.

  • Independently produced web series.

  • Attractive women (and presumably men) dressed in Steampunkish leather and brass.

What does this mean, you ask? SyFy has announced they will be streaming the web series Riese on its website, with the first episode releasing on October 26th. Here’s a couple of new trailers to go along with the announcement,

The chapter 2 trailer is a little more exciting due to some action

Steampunk is for Goths that want to wear brown.

Classy women only kiss....where?
Art galleries?
Movie theatres?
Oh, I know!
CARS!!
I prefer bars.You can kiss and leave.
Oh, and Skiffy is completely moronic. Haven't done anything well since good ol' Friday nights with IMan,Farscape,and Lexx.

That looks terrible.

Gee a lone wanderer in a post apocalyptic future! Wow! Mad Max as a girl WITH a dog!


I liked the dog...

It IS terrible.

I watched the first chapter before SyFy picked it up. A bit boring, but decent production values for a web series. Allison Mack is gonna be in it, so yay?

Give me a steam-powered Sharktopus and I'm there.

Trailers can definitely be misleading, but this looks pretty dope. I love me some female action heroes, dystopias, steampunk (in theory), and loyal dog side kicks.

Question, is it "rise" or "reese"?

RobP: "Question, is it "rise" or "reese"?"

I've been following this series a long time. They pronounce it "reece" in the show. Long "e," sharp "s." I've also lived in Germany long enough to be annoyed by that. Riese (REE-zeh) is the german word for "Giant."

The loyal dog sidekick is actually a wolf. He's a badass, but I never caught his name.

I think Riese is a pretty cool show, but my taste is questionable, I fear.

This steampunk bullshit had to stop..

Posted by: Sarah Barkai at October 17, 2010 5:05 AM

Why? It hasn't even begun yet...

Posted by: FabMax at October 17, 2010 6:38 AM

I await more steampunk, thank you!

Posted by: dia at October 17, 2010 9:24 AM

I look forward to a layered and nuanced series that -- wait, the wolf's name is "Fenrir"? Never mind.

Still, it's nice to see Allison Mack's sexy smirk.

This looks fucking terrible. Is a dorky 16 year old girl behind this series?

Also, I enjoyed BSG immensely, so Willis is a fucking liar.

Posted by: Seany D at October 17, 2010 11:52 AM

And for fucks sake I really hope it doesn't "begin", and get fucked over into some sort of corporate, commercial bullshit. I'll take my subcultures still sub, thanks very much. Sigh.

Aw, does this not match some official steampunk standard? I wasn't aware there was one. You'd think people would just be happy it's something more than just cosplay.

Her boots are really clean, what with wandering through the forest and sleeping in dirt and all.

It didn't bode well when the acting looked pretty bad in the clip with no dialogue and the 2nd clip only confirmed my suspicions. All style, no substance.
