If there was ever a show that defines geekdom, it is The Big Bang Theory. From the quiet OCD certitude of Sheldon Cooper to the sexual dynamo of Penny, this show, now going into season four, is one of the most endearing and genuinely funny shows on network TV. Last season evil Wil Wheaton made […]

Fall Season Preview: The (yawn) Returning (yawn) Shows

Sure, for the past few years Sci Fi has enjoyed a Renaissance (goodness, I love them big wordies). Doctor Who, Heroes just to name a few but there have also been so big big budget shows that for the most part are …… no so good, and yet they keep annoying me by taking up valuable space on the schedule.

So, What is the Sci Fi Network doin’ Right, anyway? Part 1

It occurred to me, and was pushed into my face, that in my rant about the cancelling of The Dresden Files, I had pushed hard at everything the Sci Fi Network was doing wrong, and, quite frankly, giving them no credit for what they are doing right.. This begs the question, are they doing anything right?. Well yes and no. Let me state, right off the bat, that I am a BIG FAN. HUGE FAN. COMIC STORE GUY FROM THE SIMPSONS FAN! That having been said, let’s take a completly biased look.

Original Productions
Eureka
Perhaps one of the funniest low key science fiction shows ever produced. Yes, the effects are good, the stories are well crafted and the characters are becoming better developed as Season 2 progresses. What makes this series really interesting to me is the way that the writers have chosen to keep the overall tone so very sedate. Even the most terrifying situation is met with a sense of calm……… and, it’s an interesting take. From what I can hear from others, an acquired taste.. Perhaps this is the sushi of sci fi?
