February 21st, 2010 | Posted in Daily Rants

Saturday afternoon in the underburbs at it were, and I was heading back from a rousing round of Produce-O-Rama ant the local foodie-mart.

If Kurt Vonnegut was a Romantic, or, Billy Pilgrim “with benefits”

Dollhouse – The Epitaph

February 4th, 2010 | Posted in Daily Rants, TV

I know that Dollhouse was over on Friday but I have been putting off this post and rewatching parts of it over and over. This series has been a LOVE IT OR HATE IT decision for viewers. I don’t think that’s fair. In retrospect I think this series was what it was meant to be; […]

The Ghost of The Great Bird of The Universe

January 21st, 2010 | Posted in Daily Rants

In 1974, we lived in a much simpler time. The fact that I can remember it scares the hell out of me, and yet there is a certain fondness for the innocence of Sci-Fi movies and television of that era. It was a time of great expectations, good and bad with no grey areas, at […]

The Blogs are Alive, With the Sounds of TORCHWOOD

January 20th, 2010 | Posted in BBC, Daily Rants, TV

An Open Letter to Russell T Davies: Perhaps one of the ugliest rumors currently floating on the net is that you are bringing Torchwood to America, in fact to Fox TV. Such reputable sites as the Hollywood Reporter have more than just speculative articles about an American production. As a responsible blogger and dedicated fanboy, […]
