Reaper – Surprisingly Good!

I missed the premiere of Reaper because it was on during one of my favorite shows – House. With so many pseudo-supernatural shows out this season, I have mostly succumbed to apathetic overwhelm about it all – who has the time? Yet, I tuned in on Thursday night, when they aired the premiere again during [...]

New Bionic Woman – Blah

This is the version [...]

Here are some things I’d like to see:
I would like to see some sort of epic space opera along the lines of Star Wars, where swashbuckling, magic, and spaceships all combine for a really good ride.
What about cyberpunk? Am I the only one missing the heady cyberpunk days before the web was solidified? Back before [...]
