a truly sad tale…but shows that J J Abrams does have a heart…
A terminally ill child had a request posted on reddit – http://www.reddit.com/r/startrek/comments/15f7rf/please_come_to_the_rescue_of_a_star_trek_fan/ – that he wanted to see Into Darkness before he died.
J J Abrams delivered.
“The next day, one of the film’s producers showed up at the door of their apartment with a DVD containing a very rough cut of Star Trek: Into Darkness in his hands. Paige had made popcorn, Dan had spent the previous day resting so he could sit through the movie, and after signing about 200 non-disclosure agreements they watched the film and had a blast.

Got the chance to see The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey the other day and it was awesome.
Don’t listen to the naysayers that say this movie starts off slow – it doesn’t
Don’t listen to the naysayers that say the 78 fps video will make you sick – it won’t
From the first frame to the last, this movie fully engage the entire ShowMeScifi team ranging in ages from 8 to 84. The visuals are amazing, the acting is superb, the score is mesmerizing and the story is..well we already knew the story was second to none.
Yeaah we were also concerned that breaking the Hobbit up into three movies would make each individual segment drag on…but that’s not the case.
This movie has a logical beginning, middle and end.

Instead of running Nina Sharp stays put and holds here ground. We never really thought all that much of Nina either way but after tonight’s episode, we have a different view.
and now we know that ‘Michael’ was just an anomaly .. a boy that went missing.
‘Why are you not frightened?’ Windmark
In reality you’re the animal – nina sharp.
Wow – what an amazing last stand for a core character… seems a whole lot more heroic than poor Etta
Star Wars Riptide – REVIEW – this isn’t a full story and it sucks. December 21, 2012

the Tl;dr version is don’t bother – this book sucks.
We were really looking forward to this book, especially after the first one in this story arc : Crosscurrent which we reviewed back in May of 2010.
This book plods along as we kinda see what happens to Jedi Jaden and the escaped clones…we get a very brief glimpse of the One Sith too.
But overall the book lacks content and true drama. The final chapter makes little sense and leaves us hanging. We kept reading, hoping this book would get better but it never does.

That was one crazy – TRIPPY – episode.
Yes we know that Walter dropped acid, but what a crazy trip,
and who is Donald? we still don’t know. Why did the radio just started working now? If they activate every 5 days why didn’t they hear it before..
And what about the boy? he is the key but how?
Only a few more episodes and we’ll finally find out
MAN OF STEEL 2013 : Will Superman Kneel Before ZOD?! December 13, 2012

Superman Returns SUCKED. we all know that. We all also know it sucked even though the initial trailer was pretty solid.
The problem with Superman Returns is that it was about Superman/Lois/his son triangle and that just didn’t work.
Man of Steel – set for release in 2013 now has an awesome trailer out. While trailers are usually good – this one give us lots of hope that the movie will be awesome too. This is more aligned with the current Action Comics/Superman approach where Superman is not univerally welcomed to Earth, there is fear about him (he’s an alien after all).
That makes a lot of sense and it sure has worked really well in the comics.
Then of course, while Lex Luthor is always good for a laugh, no Superman villian is better than Zod for movie lovers. Superman II was one of the best superhero movies of all time because of the bad guys – Zod and his cohorts from the phantom zone.
In Man of Steel – ZOD returns.
The other thing that is different is instead of simply paying homage to the original Superman movies – Marlon Brandon will not be back from the dead to play Jor-EL. Instead Russel Crowe will play Jor-EL (and Kevin Costner as Clark’s Earth dad). What an awesome combo.
No this doesn’t look like Smallville either – this is Superman and finally the Man of Steel has returned.

We’ve now (hopefully) all see the final episode of Battlestar Galactica Blood and Chrome.
WHAT A FRAKKING AWESOME SHOW.
From beginning to end we had action, drama and were completely engaged. No we did not see the double cross coming with Bekka – that was a neat thing.
We also didn’t think Cocker would live. We were sure he was dead – so seeing him at the very end was really cool thing and gave this show a really nice happy ending.
It was also cool to hear the voice of Number six herself – Tricia Helfner – as the cylon hybrid snapping Bekka’s neck.
And oh yeah Husker’s got his own viper!!
So will this show – get picked up? WE SURE HOPE SO. No doubt this Machinima Prime thing was a test case..no idea if NBC Universal made the money they need…we sure hope they did and will continue to watch this show.
SO SAY WE ALL!!

The Invaders are just better at Math than we are – Olivia – what a great line…from a Tier 1 fugitive on RewardWire no less.
What is a Truth Church?
Shifting futures with Windmark is amazingly complex, though the pacing of this episode was also painfully slow unitl of course – the awesome ending.
at 5:14 Windmark will draw his last breath.. or will he?
We didnt think we’d see Peter actually cut the tech out his neck, but he did it.
ONLY 5 episodes left…..

Wow that seems to have gone faster than we would have liked. After what seems like an eternity of expectations, we’re not at the end, the finale of Battlestar Galactica Blood and Chrome with the final two episodes.
YES this has been an awesome ride.
YES we want more.
Episode 9:
In the aftermath of the deadly Cylon ambush, Coker threatens Becca, forcing Adama to a heated standoff.
Episode 10:
Becca discovers a startling new development that will affect the future of the human race. Meanwhile, Coker’s life hangs in the balance as the team holds out hope for a rescue, and Adama has a disheartening realization about the war effort and his place in it.

Star Wars Purge: Tyrant’s Fist #1 Looks like a lot of fun. It’s a series that since that beginning has been about Darth Vader being..
BAD.
Yeaah it’s not about redemption, It’s about Purging Jedi scum from the new Imperial Order.
The first Star Wars Purge came out two and half years ago as a one shot issue and it was awesome – because Vader failed.
It was a ‘human’ failing for a dude that at this point is more evil than anything else.
While the cover art and the story for this new series looks cool, the interior pages remind us of the crap that we used to see from Dark Horse and not the more modern glorious artwork that we crave.

The first Star Trek Into Darkness poster is here and we’re already worried.
Sure this is just a teaser..but the post apocalyptic vision of the Federation has been done – remember that Enterprise episode where Archer is taken into the far future where Earth is destroyed? yeaah that’s what we thought too.
Still it’s early.
There is still hope
KLINGONS!!! WE WANT KLINGONS.

Star Wars Agent of the Empire Hard Targets #2
We really enjoyed the first Agent of the Empire series – Iron Eclipse. What was not to like?
A new super agent that has awesome skills like a James Bond, he’s ‘friends’ with Han Solo and he is loyal to the Empire kinda/sorta…
Now Jahan Cross is back and this time he starts off by killing the Count of Serreno (yeaah the same place Count Dooku is from). Then he goes to help those poor SOBS find a new count…great Imperial duplicity.
AND oh yeah.
We meet Jahan’s dad too – who apparently is a legitimate good guy.
So far we’re two issues into this story and it has been one of the most enjoyable Star Wars titles we’ve read all year.

Star Wars Dawn of the Jedi
Oh man are we excited to this series come back!
Dark Horse now has this FRAKKED idea that every series should be a mini-series of 5 or 6 issues after which they take a few months off.
So instead of month after month of Dawn of the Jedi goodness..we’ve had to wait…
We finished the first five issues of Dawn of the Jedi back in September. At the end of that story arc – Xesh – the ‘Force Hound’ was send to Bogan with other miscreants to re-learn the ways of the force.
Now we’re finally going to see what this Bogan is all about and it sure looks/sounds impressive to us.
Banished to the dark moon Bogan, the Force Hound Xesh has been living in contemplation; the memory of who he was before his ship crashed on Tython still escapes him. A rival from his past is on his trail, and the Je’daii are doing all they can to discover his origin. And now, Xesh is about to meet someone who will change his life forever, a former great Je’daii . . . the prisoner of Bogan!
Xesh!!

The new crew of Star Trek XI
Ok we know that Star Trek (Reboot) II will not be called the Wrath of Khan and instead will be called Into Darkness. What we didn’t know though was what the movie was about.
Now we kinda/sorta do.
Star Trek Producer JJ Abrams has released a preliminary synopsis of the new movie.
In Summer 2013, pioneering director J.J. Abrams will deliver an explosive action thriller that takes “Star Trek Into Darkness.”
When the crew of the Enterprise is called back home, they find an unstoppable force of terror from within their own organization has detonated the fleet and everything it stands for, leaving our world in a state of crisis.
With a personal score to settle, Captain Kirk leads a manhunt to a war-zone world to capture a one man weapon of mass destruction.
As our heroes are propelled into an epic chess game of life and death, love will be challenged, friendships will be torn apart, and sacrifices must be made for the only family Kirk has left: his crew.
Umm ok.
So will there be any Klingons?
Seriously people. Klingons.
By the Betleth of K’ahless WE WANT KLINGONS.

Why is Revolution still on TV? It’s a show that barely makes sense.
Tonight’s show has the music of our fav 70’s mega band Led Zeppelin. When the power is out and we’re living in a post-apocalyptic version of the U.S., Zeppelin is what i want to hear…
BUT even with that REVOLUTION is a show that has no future and unlike Zeppelin not a classic that will last the test of time.

Fringe: nina sharp returns as Peter tells Olivia the Truth.
So we finally see Nina Sharp in the future, we were wondering when that would happen.
Lots of good lines from Walter this time. And it was neat to see her picture in William Bell’s safe (nice hand!)
Cool to see the new observer matter sublimation device too – converting solid matter into gas..we’ll likely see that again.
Then of course there was Peter. dude finally admitted to Olivia what is going on and yeah he’s losing his hair too.
Amazing to see how the JJ Abrams is also pulling back up stuff from the first year of Fringe to this final season
“our first fringe experience was their last.”
