And Yet Another Theme Park…

New theme parks seem to be the rage right now. Another theme park is in the works, this time focusing on the world of Harry Potter.
Since America is so theme park crazy, maybe the next step would be to created themed communities. How about the Harry Potter suburb, with houses being designed as identical castles [...]

Roswell’s Upcoming Alien Theme Park

Roswell, New Mexico, hub of UFO tourists everywhere, has a new alien theme park in the works. It is tentatively titled “Alien Apex Resort” (huh?) and is slated to open as early as 2010. It will include a rollercoaster where you are taken on a simulated alien abduction.
Many vendors welcome the new addition, saying [...]

Great. My Site is Being Hijacked by a Sci-Fi Spam Site.

WARNING TO YOU SCI-FI BLOGGERS OUT THERE: YOUR WORK MAY BE GETTING STOLEN!
I shudder to give this site more traffic, but I was shocked to find out that this “blog” has basically gone out and republished stories from other sci-fi blogs (including my own) without permission. (Please, if you go there to check it out, [...]

Supernatural Renewed…but the Season Finale Lacked Punch

Supernatural has been renewed for a third season, but Veronica Mars did not fare so well.
One of Supernatural’s strengths has been how it balances out the long arc with shorter, standalone episodes. When all is said and done, you’ll be able to watch reruns of Supernatural mostly out of order, without any major [...]

The New Bionic Woman

Michelle Ryan from from the British show EastEnders will be the new Bionic Woman on NBC this fall. She will be reprising the role originally performed by Lindsay Wagner in 1976.
Not having seen Ryan perform, I don’t have any clue as to whether she’ll be a fit replacement. I loved Lindsay Wagner in the Bionic [...]

My Verdict on Lost: Season 3 is the Best Ever…and Why You Should Not Give Up on the Show

From reading the comments here, quite a few former Lost fans have given up on the show due to frustration over the time change and over the apparently meandering plotline.
After watching last night’s episode of Lost, I just want to say…don’t give up on the show. Last night’s episode was probably one of the creepiest, [...]

An End to Lost

They just announced today that Lost will run for THREE MORE SEASONS (arrrrgggh) of 16 episodes apiece.
I really enjoy Lost…but I just don’t know if I can last THREE MORE FREAKIN’ YEARS before finding out what the backstory is. (If, indeed, they have one.)
Here’s another interesting tidbit…even though the media keeps going on and on [...]

Have You Seen Spider-Man 3 Yet?

Because I haven’t. Honestly, I don’t get the hype. So what that it’s the “biggest box office opening”? PRICES HAVE GONE UP. At freakin’ $11 or more per ticket in Los Angeles no wonder we keep getting these “record-breaking” box offices every summer. And you wonder why I wait for most things to come out [...]

And the Top Sci-Fi Film or TV Show of the Past 25 Years Is…

The Matrix! Well, according to Entertainment Weekly.
Other top picks:
Battlestar Galactica
Blade Runner
The X-Files
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
I couldn’t for the life of me find the actual list on the EW website so I can’t comment too much further. The thing that scares me about this list is that the original Star Wars can’t even [...]

The Devil Wears a Mullet – Stephen King’s The Stand

Stephen King writes good books that usually make for bad television. Usually, the first installment of the miniseries is terrific. Then, it’s all downhill from there. (Remember The Langoliers? Augh!)
The Stand, in typical King miniseries form, begins with an absolutely chilling, memorable first installment. A killer virus is let loose from a research facility. It [...]
