Fringe and Dollhouse: shows I’m looking forward to

With Battlestar Galactica going off the air until next year (for frak sake that is so frustrating considering the mid-season finale), Dr Who finishing up in a couple of episodes and Torchwood only having a limited run (?) there is a distinct lack of science fiction that I watch coming up.
Fortunately for me there are [...]

One reason I’m eagerly awaiting the return of Stargate Atlantis

So some days I don’t really sing Stargate Atlantis’ praises, often I don’t think it deserves them and I wonder why I’m still watching, habit is the usual explanation I come up with, that and the odd glimmer of hope that the show will improve and the characters will be allowed to grow.
I like the [...]

I’m the Doctor, look me up.

OK I just finished watching the latest episode of Doctor Who and I can honestly say that I’m really glad that Stephen Moffat will be taking over Doctor Who because he has written some amazing episodes and this latest two part episode firmly solidifies that reputation.
This latest episode now has my favourite line from the [...]

An outsider’s question about Lost

I watched about a third of the Lost season one and two, mainly because it was on TV at a funny time for us and we kept missing episodes.   It looked compelling enough, seemed pretty clever and the discovery of the hatch was all very exciting.   But by not seeing all of the [...]

Men in Trees cancelled

Apparently when you change timeslots six times, and put a show on two unexplained hiatuses with no information forthcoming about its return it doesn’t help the ratings!?
I’m shocked by this revelation in television programming 101.   Who would have thought that by making a show extraordinarily hard to actually see it would lead to poor [...]

Stargate: The Ark of Truth - a very nice episode

I can’t wait for the next SG1 DVD to be released, because hopefully they’ll be able to leave the old storylines behind and boldly go where no… umm hang on… no.
I finally watched The Ark of Truth and I was entertained, I wasn’t blown away but I was very happy by the end of it [...]

Me with my Farscape friends

Yay for importing memorabilia!
We tried to get the plush DRDs from Farscape for ages here in Australia with absolutely no luck at all. We had them ordered through a pop culture specialist place here that will remain nameless as in the past we’ve done well with them and hope to again. But with [...]

The Galaxy Being - The Outer Limits

I miss the day when science fiction could be fanciful and there weren’t hordes of fanboys complaining about the physics are all wrong or that you can’t contact and materialise a being from another planet using a radio station antenna. Imagine making a film today and using Academy Award winning actresses in a story [...]

Stargate Atlantis season four finale a scorcher

I just knew there was a reason that I’ve continued to watch SGA despite the over abundance of ‘filler’ episodes and stunted character growth that the show has suffered from.   The reason was that I was waiting for an episode of SGA to step out from under the shadow of SG1 and give me [...]

Previously on Stargate Atlantis

Previously on Stargate Atlantis: not much happened, characters didn’t develop, some were removed in fairly blasé fashion and they swapped planets.
Me personally I watched SGA out of habit and there isn’t any other science fiction currently running (well there is but not enough to fill my weekly quota).     That was the case right [...]
