In this weeks ATFMB podcast, I talk about scifi television, including the renewal of Fox hit Fringe for a 3rd season, Chuck’s ratings win that might mean a 4th season and how i09 has a list of 25 books Hollywood should be making movies out of, how HBO has greenlit a new series based on [...]
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 [...]

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?

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 [...]
