  • What if Superman’s Family Came with him when Krypton Exploded?

    Updated: 2010-08-28 01:58:17
    We’ve long been big fans of alternate universes/history. Now we’ve got (yet another) Superman alternate reality, this time it’s one in which Jor-El didn’t send his baby son Kal-El to Earth all alone. This time the whole El family comes to Earth! It’s a great twist to see how things develop and how the Kent’s [...]

Starring Eric Balfour, Scottie Thompson, Donald Faison, David Zayas and Crystal Reed, the film’s events kick off when strange lights descend on the city of Los Angeles, drawing people outside like moths to a flame. An extraterrestrial force then threatens to swallow the entire human population off the face of the earth. They’re coming for us November 12, 2010.

    We love Serenity/Firefly here as much as anyone — and sure Wash has always been one of our favs too. Which is why we thought that Serentiy Float Out – mostly sucked. Previous Dark Horse Serenity comics have been awesome – but not this one. Context is lacking from the very beginning so we don’t [...]

  • Stargate Universe – Is TJ Dead? Season 1 cliffhanger

    Updated: 2010-06-13 03:55:02
    Incursion Part 2 the Season 1 cliffhanger for Stargate Universe was a DUMB episode wasn’t it? Why didn’t Young storm the gateroom? WTF? Why would he surrender control? so Rush could MAYBE get it back? Just seems dumb. And TJ dead? What’s up with that? Most likely she’s lost the baby – but hopefully she’ll [...]

  • Doctor Who – Amy’s Choice was Really the Doctor’s Choice Wasn’t it?

    Updated: 2010-06-09 15:33:47
    Amy’s Choice was yet another solid episode in an unbroken stream of brilliant episodes so far with Matt Smith as the new Doctor. What’s real and what’s not? Obviously the Tardis had to be real right? How could the future – with Amy preggers living in a quiet town – be real? The bad guy [...]

  • Star Wars Legacy #48 – Darth Krayt Returns from the Dead!!!

    Updated: 2010-06-09 01:52:27
    WOW. KRIFFING WOW. So much action and plot in this issue, it’s nearly impossible to think of anything to say other than.. WOW. Cade is one serious Sith hunting machine now – he is the ultimate sith/jedi hybrid and we doubt there is any force in the universe that can stop him now. The princess [...]

  • Star Wars Invasion Rescues #1 – taking the fight to the Vong

    Updated: 2010-06-09 01:46:55
    We didn’t care all that much for Star Wars Invasion when it first came out. So now Dark Horse has come  back with this series – renumbering it to #1 – should be #5…but it’s actually… KINDA GOOD. We’ve got some kick but females in command of a Vong cruiser causing havok. We’ve got a [...]

  • Doctor Who Vampires of Venice are Fish Aliens

    Updated: 2010-06-09 01:32:24
    The Vampires of Venice was an interesting ‘concept’ episode. First off we’ve got the Doctor bringing Ms. Pond’s future husband back from his own time for a special date — wearing the shirt from his own stag party – nice. But then they end up investigating Vampires that aren’t really vampires but really — YET [...]

  • Doctor Who City of the Daleks – Adventure Game – for Free!

    Updated: 2010-06-05 02:46:12
    Gotta hand it to the BBC – they’ve got a real winner with Matt Smith and the new Doctor Who. They’re now taking the great new Doctor and the lovely Ms. Pond to the next level though with a series of free downloadable adventure games. The first one looks like great fun  too.. Filed under: [...]

  • Sir Patrick Stewart Knighted – Make It So Queen Elizabeth!

    Updated: 2010-06-05 02:32:26
    Jean-Luc Picard, Prof X – or just plain Patrick Stewart, the man is a living legend and now he’s been Knighted by the Queen of the England. Congrats Sir Patrick! How many other great SciFi actors have been knighted? Well we know of Sir Alec Guiness (Ben Kenobi) of course…but beyond that the list gets [...]

  • Star Wars Clone Wars Adventure MMO for Free??

    Updated: 2010-06-02 21:48:34
    Massively Multiplayer online games are great — if you’ve got money to burn. That’s why Sony’s announcement this week of the new Clone Wars Adventures MMO amazed us – basic online gaming capabilities will be …wait for it…FREE. yESS there are paid upgrades — but the basic gaming capabilities – the stuff that will suffice [...]

  • Superman New Krypton Saga Ends – The Best Superman Story Ever Told!!

    Updated: 2010-06-01 21:16:03
    That’s it. The New Krypton saga is now over. War of the Supermen #4 marks the end of a saga that in our opinion — is one of the greatest Superman story arcs of all time. It began with Kandor coming out of the bottle and ending up as a city on Earth – then [...]

  • Doctor Who Fights Stone Statues (Weeping Angels) in Flesh and Stone

    Updated: 2010-05-31 02:00:11
    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 [...]

  • FlashForward Series Ends with a FlashForward

    Updated: 2010-05-28 18:58:18
    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 [...]

  • Chad Vader S3 Ep4 “Nothing Happens” – Literally

    Updated: 2010-05-27 06:48:24
    Best line – Hello Lloyd, stealing coffee I see. are you stealing anything else? Lloyd – no Just coffee (the name of the coffee brand is Just Coffee). And we thought that episode three was pointless…but hey this was still kinda fun in a quirky way…and next episode Clint returns! Filed under: scifi Tagged: chad [...]

  • Chad Vader Season 3 Ep 3 – That’s a wrap

    Updated: 2010-05-27 02:37:49
    Lloyd is officially the worst day shift manager ever?? Really? Is it just us or is Chad Vader now totally bereft of any entertainment value? Filed under: scifi Tagged: blame society films, chad vader, science fiction, scifi
