Old V vs. New V

I’m aging myself here, but I remember when the original V miniseries aired back in 1983. I was about 13 years old at the time. V was a huge deal for us young teens – everyone seemed to be talking about it.
Some 25 years later, I still remember the main characters from V: The [...]

Stargate Universe Turning Into Horrible Space Opera

Sorry, Stargate Universe, you are losing me.
I initially gave SGU a good review. The first episode was very promising.
Seven episodes later, the show is failing to live up to its initial promise.
We’re treated to the “Big Problem of the Week” instead of the “Big Adventure of the Week.” More and more, the focus of the [...]

Stargate Universe a Welcome Evolution of the Brand

Some are calling Stargate Universe a cross between the latest Battlestar Galactica and Lost. While I don’t see how this new Stargate series relates much to Lost, I do see some BSG influences in the grittier, darker SGU.
I was never drawn in to watch Stargate: SG1 on a regular basis. It was one of those [...]

Voltron on Hulu

OK, you know you’re getting old when cartoons you used to watch as a teen are now considered “retro cartoons.” Damn! Am I really middle aged already? I don’t feel it…and hopefully don’t look it! But we can still be thankful to Hulu for releasing Voltron for streaming on its site. Now, I’m not a [...]

Warehouse 13 Steampunk TV

It took my mother (my own mother!) to get me to give Warehouse 13 a try (I’d pretty much given up on cheesily renamed SyFy). But Mom can be surprising – she liked the new Star Trek, and she loves Warehouse 13. This is after having absolutely no interest in science fiction her entire life. [...]

Ghostbusters!

I just watched Ghostbusters on YouTube – the full-length movie is available for free, with the minor annoyance of a few brief ads cutting through actual sentences here and there.
I love this movie. Right from the start, with the librarian dealing with a ghost who likes toying with books and card catalogs, it’s a ton [...]

Well, My Mom Loved the New Star Trek Movie…

I am visiting my mom and she suggested that we go check out Star Trek at the theater – much to my shock, since she’s never been into sci-fi. I hadn’t gotten around to seeing it yet so I was very pleased that mom wanted to go. She loved it! She found it to be [...]

Lost: Fade to White

Hopefully Lost won’t end in the same semi-lame-o way BSG did – but so far, so good, this season’s cliffhanger was a doozy. (SPOILER ALERT! Don’t read anything else if you haven’t seen the latest episide!)
A couple of random thoughts: First off, I don’t get why people are questioning whether Juliet set off the bomb [...]

Thundercats, Ho!

Gotta love this made up “Thundercats movie” trailer. Using some great CGI they have made Thundercats out of Brad Pitt, Vin Diesel, and Farscape’s Chiana:

Angels and Demons: The Battlestar Galactica Finale

Well, at least that’s one serialized show I can check off my “to watch” list. Battlestar Galactica is done. Was it worth it? Was the finale all it was cracked up to be?
I’ve read some of the responses online and it seems there are quite a few pissed of BSG fans out there, notably for [...]
