Seek the Wolf in Thyself!
Sci-Fi – anything else sci-fi
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,…
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…
I had a strange series of events happen the other day. For my series on The Gamer’s Codex, called B-Movie Inspirations, I have to find and watch really bad B-movies and find inspiration for RPGs plot in them. I do realize there are only really a fixed set of abstract plots most RPGs can explore. But…
I am now a third season into this show and still have an empty feeling after watching it. It has given me only the minimal satisfaction at times, and I have yet to invest myself in the characters, the setting or the show in general. I am huge fan of Rockne S. O’Bannon work, especially Farscape…
I finally got to see the much maligned so-called “prequel” to my favorite movie franchise (Alien/Aliens) – Prometheus. Although not without its flaws, I do feel that the amount of criticism it is taking is unfair. It is by far not the best in the franchise but it’s not the worst. To start with, my…
I am having a geek-parent dilemma that probably means nothing to anyone else, but it has profound meaning to me. My kids are getting into Star Wars. Keegan at 4 YO and Taylor at 7 YO both have asked to watch the movies. Keegan wants more and more toys. Taylor so far just wants to…
I never really commented on Stargate Universe while it was one, mostly because I was too busy, but also I was disappointed overall. It has a lot of potential, but it started out way too slow and then it could not find itself after trying to fix the speed. The first season was nothing more…
I may have to make a new icon for V because it has my interest. It has just enough of the old and along with new twists that it has my interest. But this kind of serial series has to keep my interest, by giving me a satisfactory episode every few weeks. Lost was like…
I am quite annoyed by the infantile approach they are taking the new V movie/mini-series/series or whatever it is going to be. Anyone that is reasonably knowledgeable about V the original mini-series, the book and the shows that followed knows what the ‘V’ stood for. Victory. It was the center-piece of the whole concept of the movie. It was…
OK, so it is finally over. Good or bad, the lasted through 4 seasons, a writers strike and fluctuating ratings to bring everyyone to home. ***** <<< WARNING SPOILERS >>> ***** This episode is really what I think I wanted to see a lot more of during the past several seasons. However, I think it…
