Podcast: Episode 11

#11

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 [...]

What’s left-Genre tv shows not cancelled (yet)

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.  [...]

Lost-The last season

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 [...]

Hey SciFi-Where’s the positive?

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 [...]

Influences Part 1

Everyone is influenced by the people in their lives, by the things they enjoy; movies, books, tv shows – you name it. I’m no different.

If you’ve read this blog for a bit, you probably have a sense of what my humor is like and what my writing voice tends to be.  I’ve been influenced by [...]

Why Doctor Who is the Best SciFi Show on Television

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 [...]

When TV shows had theme songs

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 [...]

V (pilot episode)

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 [...]

My Take on Battlestar Galactica: The Plan

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 [...]
