OK, so they finished off the Ori once and for all. But how… through an ancient device known as the Ark of Truth. What does it do? It makes people see the truth of what they believe. Is that hokey? Well… I can see where some people could say it is and I know a…

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles – Finale and verdict
OK, so I finally watched the finale. A short-lived series that apparently is not returning to TV (or likely not returning). I guess there is a chance it will return because it is considered “on the bubble” but because of the writer`s strike, a lot of good shows are getting killed. So I would not…
Jericho’s liberal bias – the radical right wing is the bigger threat!
Jericho, the TV series of post apocalyptic intrigue, finally revealed its true colors. Don`t get me wrong, I still think it is a good show, but its bias has tainted the show. Now the big bad guys are a group of home-grown terrorists who want to re-write American history and blame Iran and Korea for…
Terminator: The Sara Connor Chronicles
I watched this episode twice. Once online with the sneak preview in Yahoo and then Sunday night after football. As it was billed as the journey from T2 to the next 3 movies they are planning, I was excited but confused. Where did T3 go? Well, according to what I read, that is now considered…
This Writer’s strike is the Executives’ way to ‘nuke it from orbit’
Now `The 4400` has been cancelled and Battlestar Galactica is in jeopardy. Jericho was due back for a few episodes to close out the cliffhanger and now that might not even happen. We suffer through a season of brainless reality shows like `Clash of the Choirs` and more American Idol-like crap while the writers and…
My Memorable TV Moments of 2007
Seen a lot of bloggers do this, I figured I would do it too… from what I can remember…
Tin Man – Verdict?
Well, the hype started early last year and I watched all three hours, some with my daughter who is a big “Wizard of Oz” fan. It was billed as a re-imagining of a classic tale. It started out fairly strong, with interesting twists here and there, and I liked some of the characterizations overall. The…
Fair-weather fandom or jumping the shark?
I had a discussion with a friend on IM that got me thinking… Is there a point that your fandom of something will break and you have to move on to something else? Or is it fair-weather fandom to give up on something after it crosses a certain line? I`ve been this way about two…
The Dresden Files & Painkiller Jane Cancelled
Not surprisingly, both these shows have been cancelled, `Dresden Files` had its problems because the episodes were shown in the wrong order. But it had much more potential than Painkiller Jane. PKJ simply made me sick. It seems that the execs at sci-fi are trying to insert too much drama into the sci-fi genre and…
Alien vs. Predator: Requiem
This looks like they put in a modern setting again, which is still somewhat contrary to Alien mythos, but it still looks good. Quite gory, as a matter of fact. It does not look like they held anything back. Wow! Of course, I will see it. I just wish these directors would just swallow their…
