We’re a little behind on our Doctor Who viewing – but we just got the chance to watch episodes 4 and5 which is really just one story (we got them both on Amazon -> The Time Of Angels and Flesh and Stone). At first this seemed like a dumb idea – the most dangerous entity [...]
The Series Finale of FlashForward was one amazing show. The FlashForward’s that began the series – mostly – came true didn’t they? The show -mostly- came full circle. And the biggest surprise is that the show ends on another blackout – with another set of FlashForwards. The whole thing with Mark Benford fighting like a [...]
Firefly has been off the air and movie screens for years, but the fans keep asking for more. A new book that just came out yesterday Firefly: Still Flying: A Celebration of Joss Whedon’s Acclaimed TV Series <– cheaper at Amazon than anywhere else we’ve seen) give us some new insights into the show from [...]
Star Wars Crosscurrent by Paul Kemp – the short review is that this is an awesome book. We get multiple timelines 5,000 years ago with Jedi and Exar Kun era Sith, colliding with the post Darth Caedus era. We also get the first mention of Darth Krayt outside of the Star Wars Legacy comics that [...]
FOX killed Firefly before it’s time …that’s a well known fact. The Serenity movie was ok, but we want more, so we go some decent comics, but we still want more. So the fans have stepped in and there is a fan flick currently under production that really has got our attention. NO this isn’t [...]
With Stargate Universe being a very different type of show than typical Stargates – it’s great to have an episode like –Subversion that brings us right back into the world of SG-1 and the genesis of this series. The whole leutian alliance thing – seems so far away – cause it is after all 18 [...]So we finally reach D Day that day that the FlashForward are supposed to have occurred and (some) things are as they should be. The biggest surprise for us though – is the chase to try and figure out who triggered the blackout. No where did we have a previous hint that it was Jericho [...]
“You have to come back because you belong with me,” Olivia Dunham. Wow – the good Olivia finally admits her feelings for Peter — and then she gets trapped on the wrong side. What’s an amazing twist. Also amazing to see dr. bell and Walter together – and the final revelation that it was Walter [...]

Red Sky is a turning point episode for the new version of V. Chad Decker finally sees the truth, Anna finally pulls the trigger on Earth and we get the line we’ve been waiting for since the show began. V isn’t for visitor. V is for VICTORY! (remember that from the original series?) So what [...]
Stargate Universe -Pain – started off in a way that made us second guess if we were watching the right channel. Lt. James (that’s her breasts on the left) semi-naked rolling around with Lt. Scott. If we wanted to watch porn, we wouldn’t watch Syfy. But hey that’s Lt. James role in this show. She’s [...]Over There – a parallel Earth where Olivia Dunham is an auburn haired vixen, broils is a colonel and fringe division is part of the Department of Defence is one weird place. And oh yeah, Walter Bishop is not a nutcase, he’s the Secretary of Defence. Talk about a freakshow mirror universe. What I want [...]
This week’s episode of FlashForward had a cool flash back with Gabriel (Dr. Baltar from Battlestar Galactica) – watching retro cartoon: Roger Ramjet – Hero of Our Nation That sure was a blast from the past wasn’t it? It’s been a VERY long time since we’ve seen or heard Roger Ramjet anywhere – so I [...]So we finally get caught up to the the flash forward date…has it really been that long? Amazing how Benford got Janice Hawk to spill the beans on her CIA involvement…how she didn’t end up dead at the end of the show…we don’t know, but she’s got to have a target painted on her head [...]
Really?? NO WAAAAY. This comic book is all about one thing – the destruction of New Krypton. No we didn’t see this coming. After two years of following the New Krypton saga, we’ve grown fond of the place. New Krypton/Kandor has been part of the Superman universe for what 40 years or more at this [...]
We like Buck Rogers — it just keeps on getting weirder as we learn more about Buck’s future Earth. Some weird moon robots/colony have now destroyed the Han — good riddance – but now it’s time for the United Orgs to go to the moon. It’s just one thing after another in this comic, with [...]Fruition was another interesting episode of V — with a twist that we weren’t expecting. Yeaah we knew that Hobbes was a scumbag mercenary — but no we didn’t think he’d sell out his new pals. No doubt he’s got a backup of the data from Porter (better known to us as the scottish Doctor [...]
Sabotage was an interesting episode on many levels. How the heck did Scott, Eli and Chloe get back so fast? you mean they just stayed on that planet hoping that the remote would activate?? really? AND finally loads of screen time for Lt. James – though kind of lame that we didn’t see her actually [...]So Peter finally meets his real dad – and he’s a Secretary of some political dept on the other side (secretary of war?). And why were the shape shifters after the other ppl’s brains, when they clearly knew where Peter was? Makes no sense. Filed under: scifi Tagged: Fringe, peter bishop, science fiction, sciencefiction, scifiSo the FBI has now finally realized that Simon is suspect zero and a major scum bag. Huzzah. And oh yeah, blue hand dude is back and you can’t escape fate. Interesting episode but not at the same level of the last two episodes…heck we didn’t even see the double-agent Janis Hawk this time at [...]
Make not mistake about it — the Sith of Star Wars Legacy show no mercy and no compassion to anyone. Just look at what they do to Dac in this issue. We didn’t like this issue — large parts of the story don’t make sense. For example, how did the GA jump into the system [...]Ok after 11 episodes (with this week’s Hearts and Minds) we still don’t know what the V’s want with us. I don’t think we’re just food for them this time around. With the Live Aboard program, we know see that the V’s like sticking a whole lot of needles in humans – sure that could [...]Wow another fine outing for Matt Smith in the second episode of his young tenure as the new Doctor Who. (if you missed the episode it’s available on Amazon at: The Beast Below) The basic premise of Starship UK is not totally unique, but being powered by the starwhale with the whole voting booth thing [...]Lost was another Stargate Universe Episode that defied expectations. As opposed to SG-1 or Stargate Atlantis – Scott, Chole and Eli didn’t make it back to the gate in time – and they should have stayed with Greer. Huh. That was a shocker wasn’t it? So close and yet sooo very far. The overlay of [...]

Humor and strength with some amazing charisma, Matt Smith is astounding. The segment where the anzati see all [...]
WE KNEW IT. There was no way Janis Hawk would betray her country… She’s a double agent working for the CIA. Huzzah! But how far will she go? Will she kill Mark Benford? Even though we saw this coming, what an amazing twist. There is so many layers in this show it’s astounding it just [...]There wasn’t a V Super Soldier in the original show was there? Holy crow but that’s one powerful warrior – no wonder the regular V’s just say that they are at peace! Also really interesting to see how the soldier class could see heartbeats and sniff out their targets. Doesn’t look like guns will take [...]

The man on the bridge – clearly that’s Walter Bishop from the other Earth. Will we see the two Dr. Bishop’s? I think so – likely the other [...]Frost is dead – Dimitry is alive and we’ve got 6 more years worth of Flashforward to watch??!!

We don’t think that Lisa is Fifth Column – but having her turn against her mother will be fun – oh and is she pregnant by Tyler now? – that’s going to happen! What exactly is Blue Energy – we don’t know — but the Secretary General of the UN (in [...]
issue #10 finds Buck on the Han airship — as it turns out they like prawns (eew). A relatively simple romp in this issue, that doesn’t really solve much other than to lead us to the next set of bad guys. Yeaah there is another set. After fighting genetic mutations, humans that live below ground, [...]
With months in-between issue Dark Horse has made this a tough series to follow.. But we follow cause it’s soo freakin awesome.

Following directly after Last Stand of New Krypton #2 – where Kandor gets rebottled.. General Zod (KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!!) figures out how to get out of the bottle. Man that was fast. A bit too fast. Then again after having been trapped in the bottle for so long the first time, it shouldn’t be a [...]Faith was another fine Stargate Universe episode. Who or what created the mystery planet?

I’m sure we’re going to find out…eventually. kinda lame that some ppl wanted to stay behind on the planet on the blind hope that some higher power was looking out [...]White Tulip was one amazing episode of Fringe.

The synopsis sounds somewhat Bridge
Michael Trucco the actor who played Sam Anders in Battlestar Galactica is V’s John May. Nice. Oh and V (at least this episode) was director by Star Trek’s Commander Riker – John Frakes!!

Yes we love Superman here at ShowMeSciFi and yes we have enjoyed ever minute of the New Krypton saga — it is quite possibly the best Superman storyline of the last 30 years. All of the story rests on the premise that the bottle city of Kandor is finally freed – now in Last Stand [...]
Cade Skywalker isn’t a Jedi He isn’t a Sith either. He is what the Force made him – or so he says. This issue we get to see Cade unleash his Dark Side and his Light Side – yeaah it was cheesy that he used the light to save the Zeltron Delilah Blue – but [...]
We really like Dark Horse’s Star Wars one-shots. These are 1 issue stories – no need to buy multiple issues to get the whole story. The latest one-shot – Purge – the Hidden Blade – is a basic but fun story. And oh yeah the artwork by Chris Scalf is AMAZING – its a neat [...]

The Domino Pattern by Timothy Zahn is the fourth book in the Quadrail series (so far) and follows Odd Girl Out, The Third Lynx and Night Train to Rigel. The short review is that NO this isn’t the best book in the series, but it is still very enjoyable especially at the end. Our ‘hero’ [...]So Olivia isn’t going to tell Peter he’s from the other side?? Looks like Dr. Bishop himself will spill the news eventually..but more shocking is Agent Broyles really a Massive Dynamics employee? and we still don’t know the deal with Nina Sharp/ Walter and Peter – is she peter’s real mother? Overall -Olivia. In the [...]
