Elektra

Elektra is a sequel/spin-off to Daredevil, which I have not seen yet. It stars Jennifer Garner as a martial arts anti-hero of sorts. I have been a huge fan of Jennifer Garner since Alias, and she does not disappoint here. She totally kicks ass.
The story revolves around a 13-year-old girl that Elektra must save. Usually, [...]

Torchwood Episode Three: “Ghost Machine”

In this episode, the Torchwood crew finds a device that displays echoes or ghosts of the past. (This episode features Gareth Thomas, aka Roj Blake, of Blake’s Seven.)
The series does seem to be centering on Gwen instead of Captain Jack (perhaps because he’s bigger than life?) but so far it’s working OK. This particular [...]

Requiem for Dead Like Me

I recently finished the second (and last) season of Dead Like Me on DVD. It was yet another show that died before its time.
Dead Like Me was a story about everyday people who become grim reapers after death. It was funny, quirky and had a fantastic cast, including Mandy Patinkin and Jasmine Guy. The plots [...]

Heroes Number Seven

This one involved a lot of Niki’s husband running away from her, and yet another coincidence as he runs into Hiro and his friend at a car accident in the road. (Cool special effects when Hiro stopped time during an [...]

Torchwood! (Episodes One and Two)

Torchwood is the BBC’s new Doctor Who spin-off. (Torchwood is an anagram of Doctor Who.) The name Torchwood refers to a mysterious underground organization that is beyond government and holds immeasurable power. Imagine if Mulder and Scully got their own agency to work on the X-Files: That’s what Torchwood is, except the main focus is [...]

Heroes: Episode Six Reveals a Dark Secret…

I was very wary of this episode from the get-go, since it dealt primarily with Niki, the annoying webcam chick. Finally, we get to meet her husband, who is supposedly a stereotypical big scary black dude with a criminal past.
The backstory was extremely convoluted and involved some sort of financial deal gone wrong; missing [...]

Aha! See, Lost Really is Sci-Fi!

How could anyone question Lost’s status as a science fiction show after last season’s implosion of the hatch by a large magnetic device? But if you were still on the fence, last night’s episode should erase any doubt from your mind.
SPOILER ALERT!!
The big news is that Eko has been killed – and by that strange [...]
