The 1970′s TV show “Kung Fu” is not sci-fi, but I wanted to share anyway. I recently rediscovered this show, which is now on DVD. For those who haven’t seen it, “Kung Fu” stars David Carradine as a Kwai Chang Caine, a half-Chinese, half-Caucasian Shaolin monk who is on the run in America’s Old West [...]
This 1997 low-budget Canadian flick has a few good things going for it: A creepy setting (the cube, of course), and some horrific scares along the way. The premise: A group of people wake up, confused and clueless, in a futuristic prison shaped like a cube, which is, in reality, a cube of cubes. The [...]
Thursday’s episode of “Supernatural” once again demonstrated why this show should become a classic in the liturgy of sci-fi/horror shows. Sam and Dean come to a small town where, legend has it, the ghost of a 1930s farmer, Mortici, hangs girls in the root cellar of a creepy abandoned house. They’re not sure if the [...]
Fun episode of “Lost” last night with the hatch going crazy. In less than 24 hours, the net was already filled with images and interpretations of the glowing map that Locke saw briefly before the blast doors came back up. Here is just one example. I’m still wondering if the Lostaway’s life before the island [...]
Robin Williams gets dramatic in this quiet science fiction film set in the not too distant future. He plays a “cutter,” a person who edits people’s life experiences that were filmed thanks to a “Zoe” brain implant. These edited life experiences are then shown at funerals, to comfort the bereaved. Not surprising, in the course [...]
On recent “Lost” episodes (and possible spoiler alert): I hadn’t paid close enough attention to the name of the prisoner in the hatch. Then I read it was “Henry Gale.” Henry Gale, as in Dorothy’s uncle from “The Wizard of Oz.” And his story is that he flew in on a balloon. Duh. I don’t [...]
This may be a funny thing for a long-time fan of Star Trek to say, but here goes: Let Star Trek die. Let it rest in peace. Let it die a noble death before it gets any worse. LeVar Burton (Geordi La Forge) said it best: “Star Trek coming to an end is long overdue. [...]
OK, I’ve only gotten to episode four from season one of the new “Battlestar Galactica,” so I maybe I just need to keep watching to get sucked in more…but…and pardon me for complaining: Why do all the uniforms look like they came from an Army Surplus Store? Can’t the costume designers come up with something [...]
Just as “Invasion” started to get good, the morons running ABC programming have put it on hiatus until April, and apparently (or so I hear), some new show called “The Evidence” will take its timeline in mid-March. Can I just say…. ARRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will bless the day that regular TV is dead, and all shows [...]
I just discovered a nifty little resource for geeks who want alternatives to cuss words – a whole Wikipedia article detailing a slew of fictional cusses created for sci-fi. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fictional_curse_words For example, instead of using the F-word, you might say flup, frag, frak, fraz, frek, frell, or even frinx. Have fun!
