BattleStar Galactica, Eli Stone and The Theory of Diamonds

April 14th, 2008 | Posted in Daily Rants, TV

The Theory Of Diamonds suggests that carbon, under enough pressure, given enough time, will produce a gem of significant worth and beauty. This is a theory in large part because no one has ever seen a diamond grow…………….until now.

Television Rants and The Well Read Sci-Fi Geek!

April 7th, 2008 | Posted in BBC, Daily Rants, Literature, TV

I hate the ending of Torchwood..With a burning passion. I really wanna take the writers and hurt them. DAMN YOU DAMN YOU DAMN YOU ALL It wasn’t fair, it was totally unexpected and it pissed ME OFF. With all the talk of changes in the show for next season, god knows this was not the […]

The Power of Whimsy

April 4th, 2008 | Posted in Daily Rants, TV

At 5 am this morning I was sipping my morning coffee and hit the dvr to watch lasts nights installment of Eli Stone. For the next 42 minutes I sat there transfixed, watching what I fear will be the most serious casualty of this season. People screamed for the Firefly movie, when Fox unceremoniously dumped […]

Jericho, Dead, Sarah Conner, Alive and Kicking

March 25th, 2008 | Posted in Daily Rants, TV

I am noticing the number of posts about death lately; Arthur C. Clarke, F, Marry, Kill and Star Trek Caskets. And yet, here I am again reveling in MY predicted demise of Jericho. Well, not so much reveling as the sage nod of the bald head with a softly spoken “It was pre-ordained”. I mean, lets […]

“And when I die, and when I’m gone……..”

March 17th, 2008 | Posted in Daily Rants, TV, Websites

 Ok this is not about a new show not being renewed, or an old show resurrection. This is the story of what we do when we are released from our mortal coil…..or whatever that means. I know people , who shall remain nameless, who, for whatever reason, are taking their fandom with them when they […]

F, Marry, Kill: Eli Stone, Jericho or Knight Rider.

March 14th, 2008 | Posted in Daily Rants, TV

OK, so by the title, you can tell I listen to Howard Stern, probably a lot more than I should, but this is a semantic game in which given 3 options and 3 people/places/things, one is forced not to equivocate but simply list which action you would perform on whom. For this little experiment I […]

Why Women hate Sarah Conner – The State of Women in Science Fiction Today

March 5th, 2008 | Posted in Comics, Daily Rants, Literature, Movies, TV

 So, the other night I am watching the exciting 2 hour finale of the shortened season of Sarah Conner Chronicles (I am deeply disappointed by their idea of climax), when my wife turns to me and sez….”you know, I don’t much care for this show. It’s too noisy.” OK, she was tired and when I […]

Media Newspeak or He, Who Smelt It, Dealt It.

February 22nd, 2008 | Posted in Daily Rants, Literature, TV

 The Orwellian nightmare that began for us with the “Mission Accomplished” banner now asserts it’s evil snout into our little niche of the blogosphere. Television, as a main source of sustenance for us, is finding itself at a crossroads: accepted rules of engagement no longer apply, what made sense no longer does and here we […]

Welcome Back Eliza

February 21st, 2008 | Posted in Daily Rants, TV

Joss Whedon’s Buffy, The Vampire Slayer has given the  viewing public some wonderful stories and within them some beautifully amazing babes who can act, Alyson Hannigan, Amber Benson (I still love you, call me), Juliet Landau, Charisma Carpenter, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Michelle Trachtenberg, Emma Caulfield and my perennial bad girl Eliza Dushku. Aside from her on Buffy and Angel, […]

Hey, NBC Has An Idea! (just not a good one)

February 20th, 2008 | Posted in Daily Rants, TV

The WGA Writers Strike has had many consequences, many intended, some completely unintended. To understand what one of the MAJOR unintended consequences is, we have to take you, the home viewer, into the murky backrooms of how stuff gets on TV. From the time a writer gets an idea to the time a pilot is […]
