We love Serenity/Firefly here as much as anyone — and sure Wash has always been one of our favs too. Which is why we thought that Serentiy Float Out – mostly sucked. Previous Dark Horse Serenity comics have been awesome – but not this one. Context is lacking from the very beginning so we don’t [...]

Incursion Part 2 the Season 1 cliffhanger for Stargate Universe was a DUMB episode wasn’t it? Why didn’t Young storm the gateroom? WTF? Why would he surrender control? so Rush could MAYBE get it back? Just seems dumb. And TJ dead? What’s up with that? Most likely she’s lost the baby – but hopefully she’ll [...]

Amy’s Choice was yet another solid episode in an unbroken stream of brilliant episodes so far with Matt Smith as the new Doctor. What’s real and what’s not? Obviously the Tardis had to be real right? How could the future – with Amy preggers living in a quiet town – be real? The bad guy [...]

WOW. KRIFFING WOW. So much action and plot in this issue, it’s nearly impossible to think of anything to say other than.. WOW. Cade is one serious Sith hunting machine now – he is the ultimate sith/jedi hybrid and we doubt there is any force in the universe that can stop him now. The princess [...]

We didn’t care all that much for Star Wars Invasion when it first came out. So now Dark Horse has come  back with this series – renumbering it to #1 – should be #5…but it’s actually… KINDA GOOD. We’ve got some kick but females in command of a Vong cruiser causing havok. We’ve got a [...]

The Vampires of Venice was an interesting ‘concept’ episode. First off we’ve got the Doctor bringing Ms. Pond’s future husband back from his own time for a special date — wearing the shirt from his own stag party – nice. But then they end up investigating Vampires that aren’t really vampires but really — YET [...]

Gotta hand it to the BBC – they’ve got a real winner with Matt Smith and the new Doctor Who. They’re now taking the great new Doctor and the lovely Ms. Pond to the next level though with a series of free downloadable adventure games. The first one looks like great fun  too.. Filed under: [...]

Jean-Luc Picard, Prof X – or just plain Patrick Stewart, the man is a living legend and now he’s been Knighted by the Queen of the England. Congrats Sir Patrick!

Massively Multiplayer online games are great — if you’ve got money to burn. That’s why Sony’s announcement this week of the new Clone Wars Adventures MMO amazed us – basic online gaming capabilities will be …wait for it…FREE. yESS there are paid upgrades — but the basic gaming capabilities – the stuff that will suffice [...]

That’s it. The New Krypton saga is now over. War of the Supermen #4 marks the end of a saga that in our opinion — is one of the greatest Superman story arcs of all time. It began with Kandor coming out of the bottle and ending up as a city on Earth – then [...]

The Series Finale of FlashForward was one amazing show. The FlashForward’s that began the series – mostly – came true didn’t they? The show -mostly- came full circle. And the biggest surprise is that the show ends on another blackout – with another set of FlashForwards. The whole thing with Mark Benford fighting like a [...]
