My Other stuff on TV
NO SPOILERS TO FOLLOW I just got back from seeing the movie of the year; the movie that all geekdom was anticipating – Star Wars: The Force Awakens. And I am torn. I was very cynical going in and I came out very conflicted. To fully understand where I am at now, perhaps I should look…
Star Trek is something I got into late in life. I could never find a TV channel that consistently showed it and as a kid, I just didn’t quite get it. Back then, my fandom was just developing. I was heavily into monsters like Godzilla, Gamera and the Universal Monsters. I enjoyed watching Hammer films,…
So I am trying to get caught up on the latest Dr. Who season, despite my dislike with the sonic-shades wearing, guitar playing 12th Doctor. I am still waiting for him to get better and on occasion he is. Unfortunately, when he shines, the writing fails miserably. At one time, new Doctor Who was one…
Harbinger Down (2015) I am a sucker for a movie inspired by Alien or The Thing. Show a sci-fi monster movie and I am there. I ran across this movie while browsing Netflix, not know anything about it. The blurb interested me so I started it. I found out later that this film was Kickstarted by a team…
The podcast I was on – Epic Gaming Night – was supposed to be about MACE and gaming but it turned into a long discussion (debate) about how I did not like the new Battlestar Galactica. Honestly, I watched every episode in full hopes it would get better and it did not. EVER. In fact,…
New shows and old ones starting back up. Some favorites and some duds. I have dropped cable so now I have to watch things differently – Hulu and digital antennae are my new methods. Arrow/Flash I lumped these two together. I thoroughly enjoy both shows for their own merits. Arrow is headed down a new…
So the third and final trailer has come out for Episode 7 and I feel like I need to comment. I am going to comment on two subjects. First and foremost is my general feeling about the new movies as a once diehard fan burned by the crap that was Episode 1-3. Secondly, a more…
Hardcore science fiction is very hard to pull off from a role playing game perspective because realism tends to bore the average player. Yea, I know, there are those that prefer it and I can respect that. However, in my experience, the average player does not want to go through the mind numbing realization that…
Sci-fi is my thing, I make no bones about it. I love a good story of group of people exploring the unknown, finding alien monsters, and learning that the universe is much bigger than they thought. Browsing Netflix, I found yet another unexpected gem of a movie – Dark Space. It is a low budget…
Every once in a while, I come across a movie that came in under the radar; that might not get over 60% on Rotten Tomatoes, that I found well written and the story is well told and that I really like. I am not sure what that says about me but there have been some key movies that have done that for me. Pandorum is one of those movies. It was not well received but I really loved thsi8 movie. So much so, that I bought the movie. The Outpost is another. Sunshine is another, however that one has better reviews on Rotten Tomatoes.
