That was idiotic.
Well let’s recap – the various stories (Sarah’s, John’s Cameron’s etc) in this episode were well crafted and a nice plot vehicle
The way Cromartie died was lame.
You mean to tell me that the FBI with more gunners couldn’t take him out but two people in a mexican Church crossfire could?
That’s just dumb. Sure you have to suspend belief for a show like this – but PAAALEASE have it someone logical.
Cromartie was the first Terminator of this series and now he’s gone. Does that mean there are no more terminators hunting the connors in the current era? Not likely. But it does take out the big threat.

We all know and have always known that R2D2 is the greatest Astromech of all time – and one of the most beloved of all robots ever.
But I’ve never seen a droid as stooopid as the R3 in this episode.
Still as to be expected, Anakin can fight off an entire seperatist fleet on his own with a bad robot in tow too.
Another decent episode – this one obviously starting off a new story arc – so far so good.

Is that it? Is Michael Dead?
Well we never saw the body – so the answer has to be No. Also the dude clones everything so there is likely a Michael clone out there somewhere.
So how did Michael get control of Atlantis so easily? Yeaah the stun bubble..
Easily the best part of this episode was the ending when Ronon surprised Mr. Woolsey by giving him his audio filed report. Michael attacked atlantis. We fought him off. End of report.
Classic.
But what about that other gate room woman Emelia? ? She was kick ass! I don’t recall seeing her before and i was a little disappointed that we didn’t see more of her – and what’s her T’eyla relegating her to baby holding duty?

All right better late than never – but we’re officially IN for Doctor Who series 4. We’ve been watching this for the last few weeks (haven’t blogged on it) but this is one show that just keeps on delivering great episodes week after week.
The Library planet – great idea – the link with the little girl? Awesome. the link with the other Time Lord..-What another Time Lord?? my goodness i feel the need for a JellyBelly.
The ending of this cliffhanger episode was fantastic – you’ve got the zombie guy walking around with his ghost message – then the face of Donna on the library interface…classic.
Life on Mars – Is he in a Coma? November 7, 2008

Life on Mars is a great show – this week’s episode Sam stops a race war in NYC and comes face to face with his mentor ‘Clams’ – as a younger man.
Beyond the really great 70’s cop story here – we get our first real glimpses into what is going on with Sam and how he might be still connected to 2008.
The final scene with him at the funeral for ‘clams’ well what was that? Is he in Coma? Is he already dead and just seeing all this in in heaven?
My personal bet is for a coma – but hard to say it’s all very real to Sam – but hey isn’t that what it’s supposed to be like in a coma state?

2) Kirk, Spock and Nero figures
3) Phaser
4) USS Kelvin
5) Vulcan Ears
What do you want to see as a toy?
And here’s a little refresher for ya from the first STar Trek Movie tie it at McDonalds – 30 years ago!

Let’s be frank here – Vector was just ok till it hit Legacy.
Legacy has made Vector great and this issue is proof of that fact. Celeste Morne is still the central figure but Cade’s new love interest makes things interesting as does Cade’s own relationship with the Force.
And what about Emperor Roan Fel? This is the first we’ve seen of him in months – and he’s just as evil as Krayt isn’t he?
Will the Muir Talisman take over Cade at some point? I think so. Will Cade kill Darth Krayt? That i don’t think so – but perhaps Krayt will end the Vector and the Muir Talisman forever

Finally Cromartie narrows in on John..but hey WHAT KIND OF MASSIVE WIMP!!
Cromartie comes to the door and John sends Riley out to deal with him – while he hides behind the door. Riley easily could have been killed without a second thought while john was wimping out.
And what about the RAZOR – killing poor Moishe? And will she stay with the show for awhile (i hope so..)
Then what’s the deal with Agent Ellisons’s T-777 clone?
I dunno – but the show is getting more intricate as the week’s go on. Finally next week we’ll see another Terminator showdown…the teaser says someone will die – let’s hope it’s John Connor and that another John Connor twin/clone T-777 or otherwise takes his place.

It’s coming to a close soon..this wasn’t the massive issue like #34 with Darth Hazen but pretty darn close.
We keep finding out more about how it was all Hazen and how Lucien Dray was a total dope all along. No surprise to Zayne but the after 34 issues it’s great to see this whole thing unravelling.
The hardest part about this story arc is because its sooo good waiting a month for the next little bit is painful.
Will the Covenant finally be destroyed at the end of this arc? I don’t see how it won’t. But the big question remains where are the Mandalorians during all of this?
Order 66 by Karen Traviss – BANTHA PUDUU! October 31, 2008

Just finished reading Order 66 by Karen Traviss and the short review – it’s the shebs!
This book should have been awesome but it’s not.
Traviss takes the ultimate clone command – Order 66 – and somehow turns the story into a long drawn out tale of how clones escape from the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR).
Order 66 is a sideline – a plot twist in the end of the book instead of being the central theme. It’s just another order and the only Jedi that gets killed is….[WON’T DO THE SPOILER HERE..] well it’s the only Jedi you don’t want to die.
Most of the story doesn’t make sense it’s just one useless drawn out scene after another until the end when order 66 forces the change in the GAR command structure.
Traviss is all about the Mandalorians – that’s her thing and she’s good at that. If you just want to read about the Mando – ok you might like parts of this – but it’s missing so many vital plot connections and links. So very much of this book just makes no sense it makes you wonder if anyone actually editted this book before it made it to publishing.
Forbidden Planet gets the Babylon 5 Treatment October 31, 2008

Babylon 5 creator J. Michael Straczynski is hard at work on a remake of the classic SciFi series Forbidden Planet.
Considered how Straczynski totally butchered Babylon 5 with the Lost Tales – I’m not sure this is a good thing. Maybe he’ll make Robbie the Robot into a human or something….
Released in 1956, Planet told the tale of an expedition sent from Earth to check on a colony of scientists on a far-off planet. They find two members, a man who has found alien technology that doubled his intellect, Dr. Morbius, and his daughter, both of whom have managed to survive an unseen monster roaming the planet.
Life on Mars : Have you Seen Your Mother? October 30, 2008

This is a show that has really grown on us. The basic idea is that a cop from 2008 is somehow sent back to 1973. Yaaah i know a little lame. But the acting and overall development of this show is really solid.
In this episode our hero Sam Tyler – meets his mother – but instead of telling her his name (which is the same as her 4 yr old son) he tells her that his name is…Luke Skywalker. He tells her it’s an ‘Indian Name’.
We don’t know why he’s in the past – maybe he’s supposed to fix stuff..but what is neat along the way is how Sam brings 2008 sensibilities to 1973. It doesn’t sound like it was really all that long ago but man was it really a different world.

I like David Tennant – he’s a great Doctor and he’s really grown on me. But his time is now almost done as he had now announced he’s leaving Doctor Who.
Looks like Tennant is not Tom Baker – he doesn’t have the same sense of loyalty to fans or the franchise. At ShowMeSciFi.com we are TERRIBLY disappointed in this news and very UPSET.

I want to like Tek Jansen I really really do.
I worship Colbert and humbly pledge my eternal fealty to his Nation. Tek Jansen #2 was a disappointment for us, but #3 isn’t quite as bad.
For one the Robotra story line is corny but in a fun kind of way.
Jansen is the MAN as he should be – not a total idiot (just a marginal one). Good fun for Colbert fans and a good read overall.
I wasn’t sure after issue #2 if I would continue buying Tek Jansen – but at this point I’m certain that I’ll see this through to the end. Only two more issue to go after all and I’d like to see Tek destroy all the Optiklons, get his own strike team and have an army of Robotra’s hanging from his feet.

This comic wasn’t as good as the first issue -not by a long shot.
The artwork in this book just falls apart and looks like some deviant mutant form of the animated show.
It’s really quite repulsive and in fact so offensive that we’re not likely to buy the third issue – a shame really since the story is kinda interesting.
Ashoka’s ppl are missing – and the Jedi are trying to find out where they are – same basic story as the last issue just drawn out a little more.
Essentially a slaver story – similiar to the type that we saw in Dark Times actually – i just hope that no one gets eaten this time.

Another great episode – instead of focusing on Jedi – this episode was all about the clones…and a new type of battle droid that we’ve never seen before.
The typical battle droids are only powerful in their number – but the new Commando Battle Droid – wow those were tough clankers. They got the jump on the clones didn’t they?
Though Grievious didn’t get to attack Kamino this episode – it’s just a matter of time I bet till we see an episode where he does get through..

Soo we finally get the Encounter at Farpoint episode for Stargate Atlantis – the humans of the Milky Way on trial!!
And how about that comment about the Federation? (yeaah but they had ships!).
Also how the heck did they only choose three people to repesent all the worlds of Pegasus? Where were Jennai? Where were the travellers (Laryn’s people) ?
Good idea though and it will make for some interesting politics in the remaining episodes of Atlantis.
And of course there is Mr. Woolsey who was finally in his element and was the hands down hero of this episode. Great stuff and easily the best episode yet for Richard Picardo.
Always great too to get that trip down memory lane of five years worth of Stargate Atlantis memories –

In honor of the final season of Battlestar Galactica this is a great year to put out a cylon pumpkin!
It’s not quite as hard as you’d think either – it’s a matter of sketching out the shape of the cylon helmet and carving it out. Then you just need the LED…well maybe it’s a little more complex.
Luckily there is a pretty great tutorial with full specs on how to put it all together – just check it out on Evil Mad Scientist
