I Love Sci-Fi
Brownsville Joins Team Edward
I had to supress the urge to yell out “So say we all!” at least four times during a press conference I attended this week with Battlestar Galactica’s Edward James Olmos. (And yes, I left my “Frakkin’ Cylons” T-shirt at home.)
The Admiral flew in to my hometown of Brownsville, TX to talk up a documentary [...]
Alright Drones, Listen Up! It’s Time To Read My Better Off Ted Reviews!
Rejoice, comedy nerds! Better Off Ted is back, and the folks over at TV Squad have asked me to cover it this season. Let’s hope I can do a good job, because I really love this show, and I want to get more people to tune in every week.
Tonight’s season premiere wasn’t perfect — the [...]
The Week’s SciFi Squad Insanity So Far …
I’ve been pretty busy this week preparing for finals (and watching the entire first season of Better of Ted on Hulu), so I haven’t had much time to write. Still, I managed to scribble a few things for SciFi Squad.
Thankfully, the Internets is full of insane content created by obsessive Star Trek fans. This gives [...]
The Empire Sneaks Back
Behold fellow nerds, the power of these fully functional Star Wars Adidas sneakers. Never have I identified with the sneaker-obsessed hipperati until now. (OK, maybe that’s not quite true.)
It’s the Hard Knocks Life on Stargate Universe
Sorry about the punny post title. It’s early. What can I say?
More than 20 comments have been posted so far on my latest Stargate Universe episode review for TV Squad. It seems like most Stargate fans don’t like that SGU feels more like a soap opera than a true sci-fi series. I don’t really care [...]
To Blu-ray and Beyond!
One of the best and most celebrated sci-fi films of the past ten years finally hits Blu-ray today. That’s right folks, I’m talking about Galaxy Quest. Of course, I have no idea how watching Galaxy Quest in HD will make the movie any better or funnier, but it’s out there if you want it.
(Oh, and [...]
Stargate Universe Finally Gets Interesting
OK, maybe “interesting” isn’t the right word, but this week’s episode of Stargate Universe at least offered a bit of action and suspense. It was kind of a mindfrak too.
The crew gated to a new planet only to find Kino footage of their death by a strange virus and some bloodthirsty piranha worm monsters. Here’s [...]
Why yes, I would love to see more of Captain Jack Harkness
Some of you were nice enough to read and comment on my Torchwood: Children of Earth reviews for TV Squad last summer. If you watched the miniseries, and read my reviews, you know that the last hour of Children of Earth played like a definite end for the series. Jack left the planet, Ianto was [...]
And Just When Dollhouse Was Gettin’ Good …
The inevitable has happened. That’s right, folks, Fox has canceled Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse.
I’ll let you post your angry rants against Fox in the comments, but something tells me most of you aren’t in a ranting mood right now. After all, we all knew this was coming.
Fox greenlighting season two always felt like a reprieve instead [...]
Stargate’s Col. Telford - That’s Not My Ritchie!
This is Lou Diamond Phillips:
He plays a giant a-hole on Stargate Universe.
No, he plays a giant human warthog — a gross, self-serving and disgraceful man with no redeeming qualities who sucks the fun out of everything. He also might be tricking a nice lady into sleeping with him thanks to some nifty alien technology.
Like I [...]
