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 [...]

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 [...]

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. There is a similarity to 28 Days Later, but the zombies look far more Romeroesque (I didn’t see [...]

If you didn’t watch the episode “Across the Sea,” don’t read this. It contains spoilers. Seriously, I fucking love this show. They finally confirmed my suspicion that Jacob and the MiB are brothers. And they shed light on what the island is. And how the smoke monster came to be. I’m flush with theories, none [...]

I know, it’s bizarre for me to mention any television outside of LOST*. I’m most of the way through the first season and I am flat-out impressed. 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 [...]

Sci-Fi Writer Attributes Everything Mysterious To ‘Quantum Flux’ “I’m really excited about this latest book—there’s action, adventure, drama, and a little bit of something for everyone,” said Fournier, who decided to introduce the narrative device after realizing that the galactic ambassador vaporized in chapter two needed to be alive a lot longer. “And, of course, [...]

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 [...]
