For most Science Fiction shows, the biggest problem they face is often their own fans. When you love a show you pull it close to you. You form an emotional bond. These are good things, mind you. But it can also cause a problem or two. Because after a while entitlement starts to creep in. […]
Please heed this warning: This article will cover all five seasons of Being Human (UK) and will happily discuss any and all spoilers right through the last episode. You have been fairly warned. It always sounded like the start of a perfectly crummy joke: A vampire, werewolf, and ghost live together. I avoided it for […]
Veronica Mars proved (2.5 million in under 24 hours) that if a fan base is hungry, you can use Kickstarter to revive shows once thought dead. It’s not as easy as that as Rob Thomas et al had to convince Warner Bros to let them do it (since Warner owns the show legally) and a […]
I have been entrusted with a sacred duty today. A duty to tell you what should happen with Star Wars. Why was I chosen for this? I was the drunkest. But the spirits have left me and now, by the cold hard light of day, I stand before you ready to reveal the majesty of […]
Amelia Cole and the Unknown World is the sort of comic I want to read and see more of. This shouldn’t be surprising as I co-wrote it. But I want to take a second to tell you why I love it – regardless of being part of it, and why I think you might enjoy […]
First it was Star Trek and now Iron Man 3. Movies releasing new ads and trailers that, a few days before, release teasers for the trailers. And it needs to stop right now. We have already reached a saturation point where a movie will release four trailers before it opens, each one with maybe 1/5 […]
J.J. Abrams is taking on Star Wars. We know this. He’ll direct Episode VII. We know. We also know it means, let’s face it, he won’t do a third Star Trek film. As I looked at that, yesterday, I realized we’d been here before. Early 2000s, Bryan Singer was some hot shit. He’d directed the […]
SyFy has cancelled Alphas, and with it a bunch of my hopes for the channel. It wasn’t that long ago that SyFy was living the dream. They had three shows (Eureka, Warehouse 13, and Alphas) that each slotted into one of the big SF/ concepts and all had the ability to interplay. Eureka was our […]
When we demand that everything be related to everything else we help kill the future. That sounds a bit silly and all but bear with me. Let’s take a recent, and SF, example: A bunch of people complain that Dredd is simply The Raid. When they say this they hurt the potential viewership of Dredd, […]
I love the UK version of Being Human. It’s smart, funny and daring. It’s everything I want from the type of show that it is, and frankly I thought it would be horrible when I first gave it a try. The premise sounded too silly: A vampire a werewolf and a ghost share a flat. […]
