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. [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
One of the things I noticed when I watched last summers blockbuster, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, was that the workers in the undersea MARS facility, seemed to be wearing Deep Space Nine era Starfleet uniforms. I couldn’t prove it, of course – I didn’t have screen shots from the movie.
…now that the movie [...]
Space. The Final Frontier. These are the voyages of the starship, Enterprise. Its mission; to explore strange, new worlds, to seek out, new life and new civilizations, to boldly go, where no man has gone, before…
This was the beginning to what has become the most iconic science fiction television series of all time – and [...]
So, last night, V premiered on ABC and I, like many of you, watched with much anticipation.
Leading up to this whole thing, I rewatched (mostly) the original V mini-series, aired Sunday on the channel formerly known as SciFi, to refresh my memory on the whole thing.
In the original, the Visitor’s come to Earth speaking of [...]
A review: Battlestar Galactica: The Plan
If you’re a fan, you remember that the opening of Battlestar Galactica’s first and second seasons always ended with: “AND THEY HAVE A PLAN”. ‘They’ were the Cylons and ‘The Plan’ wasn’t necessarily apparent beyond ‘Frakking kill all the humans’. Which, if you’re a cybernetic lifeform bent on [...]
