I’m glad I don’t have cable anymore

If only so that I won’t be constantly pissed at SyFy. What used to be, in my youth, a go-to for Science Fiction programming has been replaced with bullshit camp, paranormal reality, a cooking show and wrestling. The only redeeming show they still have is Being Human, which will remain successful (and good) for the [...]

We’ve always been at war with Eastasia.

The Huffington Post takes it out on the media that let this whole mess get out of control: Yesterday afternoon, the leader of a microscopic cult of idiots who announced plans to stage an “international” day of Quran burning in Gainesville, Florida held a press conference, for a rapt media which decided that his moronic [...]

AMC’s The Walking Dead: I’m fucking stoked.

Needless to say, I’m pretty stoked about this show. There is a terrible amount of potential for a series like this, and if AMC’s recent offerings (such as Rubicon) are any indication, it won’t be a disappointment.

Where the first show went wrong (in my opinion; obviously I don’t represent most sci-fi fans) was that it kept creating new, ever more powerful enemies. Shows like [...]

Bailouts & Bull

John Stossel is one of the few figures in the media that is somewhat reliable for a pro-libertarian viewpoint. And this special is amazingly well-done.

LOST

I’m roughly half-way through the second season. It’s fantastic. Everyone who told me it was crap was lying. The one problem I’m having with it is that being such a huge David Lynch fan as well, I want more Lynch surrealism. It edges along the outskirts of surrealism, but doesn’t really get there. It’s like [...]
