Doctor Who States Premiere and Sarah Jane Spin-Off Show

Doctor Who season two is premiering in the states tonight on the SciFi Channel; in case you missed it, I had already reviewed the episode back in April. (I don’t live in the U.K., but I have my ways of getting my grubby little hands on things…)
In other Who news, Elisabeth Sladen will reprise her [...]

Blade TV Series Canceled

Just announced: Blade has been canceled after 13 episodes. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. I told you it sucked. Heh.

Star Trek: The Original Series – “The Menagerie Parts 1 & 2″

The Menagerie is an interesting two-part episode because it is the first episode in Star Trek that alludes to the Enterprise ever belonging to another Captain, as well as helps create a rich back-story for the series. It is also the only two-partner in the three seasons.
That Gene Roddenberry did this with the failed original [...]

Heroes Premiere: A Bit Shaky, But There’s Promise

I have to say I am a bit surprised at some of the rave reviews I’ve seen about NBC’s new superhero show Heroes.
I can tell from the previews of upcoming episodes that Heroes will probably be fun and maybe even quite good. The premiere, alas, was not that great. It was a hodge podge of [...]

Star Trek: The Original Series – “The Enemy Within”

What’s better than one Captain Kirk? Two! And how about if one of them is totally horndog? Woo-hoo! Thus the episode, “The Enemy Within” begins with a transporter malfunction that splits kirk into the Good Kirk and the Bad Kirk.
How can you tell which is which? Well, the Bad Kirk wants Saurian brandy and to [...]

Pimpin’ My New Site for Writers

And now for something completely off-topic…if you are a writer, then you might enjoy my new writer’s site, Writernia. There you can connect with other writers, share stories for critique, or use the free job board. I’ve even included a place where you can upload fan fiction.
It’s fresh off the HTML block, so still in [...]

The Terminator is Coming to TV

I’m honestly not sure how exciting this show will be, but they are developing a show based on The Terminator for FOX called the Sarah Connor Chronicles. This will take place in between T2 and T3, when Sarah Connor is hiding from authorities with her son. Filming will take place in Mexico, so you can [...]

Second Season of Supernatural Starting

I just watched the first season finale of Supernatural for the second time last night. Can I just say that this has to have been one of the most shocking finales I’ve ever seen. I’ve seen finales with more epic build-up, but this one has to be the winner in terms of sheer suprise factor. [...]

Star Trek: The Original Series – “The Man Trap”

One of the early episodes, this one lays the groundwork for a romantic interest out of McCoy’s past. It’s a highly creative episode, with a message (don’t destroy all the buffalo, that kind of thing – hinting at the fact that as humans spread like a virus into the galaxy and start colonizing planets one [...]

The Shelters of Stone (Earth’s Children, Book 5) by Jean M. Auel

I have read some duds in my day (basically everything Terry Goodkind has ever written), books that made me practically give up all hope that there is a single author/editor/publisher on earth dedicated to anything but mediocrity – but this…this…catalog of repetitive, slogging, meandering, sixth-grade writing level piece of mammoth dung is one of the [...]
