(Where it all began) About Me & Resume Tales from The New Universe (Free Fiction) Find Me Socially |
How do I start this? Well, me being me – I guess I have to go back to 1985 and Crisis on Infinite Earths, one of the first, massive crossover events from DC Comics. The Flash – Reborn When you’ve been around as long as DC, you have a lot of characters, a lot of history and [...] Make me famous:
             I have mixed feelings regarding the DVD industry that’s built up to sell us television, which we essentially get for free over the airwaves (at least, mostly free), but I can’t deny that one of the perks is the fact that shows from my childhood are available again. In some cases, this is a horrible [...] Make me famous:
So. The channel formerly known as SciFi hit the ground running once again with some summer programming. First we had Warehouse 13. …spoilers abound. You have been warned. The cliffhanger episode has become a staple of the genre show. It was once used by soap opera type shows like Dallas to pull viewers in and get them [...] Make me famous:
John Anealio gave me some shit last week on the Functional Nerds podcast because I always say, ‘The channel formerly known as SciFi’ when talking about the former SciFi Channel, now called ‘SyFy’. I say it because it’s my way of pointing out the absurdity of the whole name change bs. I would also ridicule the [...] Make me famous:
Well. Kinda looked like a promising year for SciFi and Fantasy shows, didn’t it? Now we’ve seen a lot of shows come and go and, if you’re like me, you might be wondering what’s left out there for us to watch? Not a lot. Network stuff I like first: Chuck Chuck is back on Mondays. I love this show. [...] Make me famous:
So. When Lost first hit the airwaves, I thought for sure it was going to be stupid. I had visions of people running around making coconut radios and concocting impossible silly schemes for rescue. Yes. I’m saying that I thought it was going to be a modern day Giligan’s Island. Boy, I could not have been more [...] Make me famous:
If, like me, you’re an avid watcher of tv and movies, and a reader of books, you may have noticed a trend towards the disastrous future. Apocalypse is in and in big. I mean, it’s everywhere we look. I think it’s sort of a staple of the genre now. If you’re going to have a futuristic/scifi [...] Make me famous:
As much as I love Doctor Who, and even though I just pointed out that it’s the best SciFi show on tv, I would be remiss if I didn’t point out some of the problems that I had with Doctor Who: The End of Time. The whole first half. It was horribly paced. I felt that [...] Make me famous:
Now, I know you are staring at the screen going, “What?!” Each and everyone of you has your favorite shows and opinions as to why they are the best. Here’s the difference – I’m not talking about a ‘favorite show’ here – I’m saying that, hands down Doctor Who is the Best SciFi [...] Make me famous:
Do you remember when tv shows had theme songs? It seems like every show on these days has a quick logo/name splash scene and then it cuts right to the ‘entertainment’. Not too long ago, shows began with theme songs that were catchy, humworthy and got stuck in your head. When you heard it, you were [...] Make me famous:
