Last night’s episode Bad Dreams
So we know that Olivia (or should we call her Olive?) was experimented on as a child..now we know it was Walter and Leonard Nimoy who were directly involved!
Amazing how everything comes back to Walter in this show? It’s actually a little annoying at this point.
How can the whole be pattern be about Walter?
Then again Walter is a whack job…and a character that we all love.
Great to hear the voice of Leonard Nimoy in this episode too...soon enough we’ll see him as William Bell founder of massive dynamics

Caprica, the Battlestar Galactica prequel is out today!
Sci Fi channel has ordered 20 hours of the Battlestar Galactica prequel but it all starts with this pilot available first on a direct to DVD.
After the tremendous dissapointment of the final Battlestar Galactica episode, Caprica represents another opportunity for us the fans to get back into the BSG universe before the FRAKKERS decided to fly their ships into the sun, become farmers and oh yeah Kara Thrace is an angel.
Here we get to see the colonies before the blasphemy of the final episode…a chance to start fresh and see things in a different light.
We’re excited for Caprica, we hope it’s as good as the Battlestar Galactica mini-series was – we’ll see…

Tonight’s episode – wow…so much activity…
Let’s start at the top. Mr Dominic is NSA, and now in the attic…we knew something was wrong with that dude…so ok.
Victor banging DeWitt..that was a total surprise.
Mellie telling Agent Ballard she is a doll? WOWOW another total shock.
All told so many twist and turns in one episode..and an episode that had a puzzle of a timeline, back and forth and sideways.

Last night’s episode of Fringe, titled the Inner Child
oh and great to have the show back after its two month hiatus too.
So who was the boy? Is he a ‘little watcher’? Guess we’ll find out..but clearly he’s part of the pattern.
And Walter…oh Walter in fine form. He had so many good lines in this episode ..perhaps the funniest…
I’m sure agent Dunham has seen a penis before.

Stargate Universe will hopefully follow in the Stargate tradition of awesome shows..
The latest trailer though looks a little lame …so let’s hope it’s just a blip

Friday’s episode Needs
was an interesting one — let the dolls walk free so they can solve outstanding issues…their needs..
Caroline needed to free ppl..she does ..
And victor needed to be loved..
Neat stuff and until the end, we didn’t have a clue what was going on or why they’d let them wake up in the first place.
There is such tremendous depth to this show , in plot and characters it’s just great fun – intellectually – to watch and try and figure what is going on and what will happen next.
Have all their Needs been met?
Somehow I think that Caroline at least wants to be free herself , so a future glitch is still very possible
Star Trek Titan Over a Torrent Sea : Welcome Tasha Riker-Troi April 4, 2009

add a comment
Star Trek Titan Over a Torrent Sea continues the story of Captain Riker’s ship in the post Borg/Destiny era.
Long story short is they find a water world and make a first contact. It’s a well written story but it sure does drag on in the middle section for a long period of time.
There are some interesting sections for sure — notably the birth of Riker and Troi’s child – named Tasha – after Tasha Yaar –
and yes the sexual tension between Riker and the nympho from Pacifica was also kinda neat and something that had been building in the previous Titan books too.
This book was head and shoulders better than the last Titan book which was barely readable but still not as good as any of the first three Titan books (Taking Wing, The Red King and Orion’s Hounds )

Star Wars Legacy is the best star wars comic series of all time – and it just keeps getting better.
After a little hiatus we’re back to the main plotline – where Darth Krayt is dead – or is he?
Somehow I think we will see him again.
Really cool to see Darthy Wyyrolok and his DAUGHTER Saarai.
Lord Stryfe – the dude on the cover – is clearly in for more panel time too and he’s one mean Sith.
And what about Azlyn Rae ? Going into a Vader type suit? Cade is going to go nuts!!!

The final issue of Star Trek The Next Generation The Last generation was one for the ages.
The cover art – wow – straight from Star Trek VI The Undiscovered Country – which of course makes sense since this whole series was a what if the Klingons hadn’t made peace with the Federation.
Ultimately it was a time cop gone bad who fingered the Federation for everything that was wrong in the universe – so it had to be destroyed.
This series had a marvelous set of character – evil Regent Worf – Troi the spy, Sulu the Grey Wolf, Wesley the jerk and of course Picard the rebel.
If you missed this at your local comic book retailer – don’t worry the trade paperback is out in July (Star Trek: The Next Generation – The Last Generation (Star Trek the Next Generation)
Life on Mars Series Finale – They really were going to Mars – AWESOME April 1, 2009

The series finale of Life on Mars was one of the best series finales EVER.
The whole series we’ve been guessing how Sam would get back to 2008 – in fact he never did.
The whole thing was a trip – Project Aries and Aries Toy Company– to Mars. Life on Mars indeed.
Gene Hunt – was really the name of the mars mission – the man is Major Tom and he is Sam’s father …AMAZING.
Windy – Sam’s neighbor is really the ships computer!
The whole show was a sleeping dream while on route to Mars – WOW.
Of all the possibilities this was not one that we had ever thought of. Life on Mars wasn’t just a David Bowie song it was the mission.
This is one finale that made sense – it pulled together the entire show and wrapped it in a way that made us feel satisfied.

The first two Men in Black were classic SciFi comedies..
Apparently plans are now in the works for a MiB 3 for a 2011 release. No word yet if Will Smith will be back.
Even though it has been years since the last MiB – it hasn’t been all that long since that last new MiB content.
There is an animated series (not great) but hey it is what it is..

This show should have gone longer – but here we are. Tonight is the final episode of Life on Mars!!
Will Sam make it home to 2009?
What was this whole show anyways? Time travel? A coma? A bad dream?
We’ll find out. For sure it has to do with Project Aries, which we saw again in last week’s episode with the Aries Toy company.
Whatever the finale – this has been a great show and it’s a shame to see it go so soon.

Knights of the Old Republic continues to impress in this post Zane on the run era.
This is the beginning of a new story arc – with a sport theme too..
Still early but the basic premise is cool a corrupt sporting association with a man who has his son trapped in the system –
Zane is about to get involved and it’s all supposed to be a scam..
but it isn’t is it?

Star Trek XI isn’t even in the theatres yet but apparently Star Trek XII is already in the works.
Star Trek XII would be set for a summer of 2011 release.
“There’s obviously a lot of hubris involved in signing on to write a sequel of a movie that hasn’t even come out yet,” Damon Lindelof told SciFi Wire , co-creator with Abrams of ABC’s Lost who produced the upcoming Trek but did not contribute to Orci and Kurtzman’s screenplay. “But we’re so excited about the first one that we wanted to proceed.”

Tricia Helfer is best known to SciFi fans as Caprica Six —
Tonight she made her Chuck debut as a 49B – and she was awesome wasn’t she?
No not a cylon – but a hard nose by the book US Government spy.
And how about that FRAKKIN awesome scene where she pretends to be a stripper for a bachelor party!
Let’s hope it will be a recurring role for her -and chuck.
If you missed it Amazon has the episode (officially called Chuck Versus the Broken Heart
) for you to check out.
Family Guy Star Trek TNG episode SUCKED March 29, 2009

F-you Michael. (Patrick Stewart to Michael Dorn)
What a waste of talent. The Family Guy pulled in all the great actors from Star Trek TNG and there was maybe two decent lines in the whole thing.
Patrick Stewart telling of Michael Dorn was classic – for sure…and Denise Crosby getting shot in the first minutes also classic.
After that? Levar Burton’s visor bit was funny – but for the most part nothing happened we didn’t even get funny Star Trek TNG puns.
And when Meg has her God tangent ..instead of pulling in ‘Q’ which would have made sense – they pull in the Flash – ahh aha – theme from the early 80’s Queen song.
What a waste.

What a great episode this week called –Echoes – (season 1 episode 7)
We get full insight into Caroline and how she became a doll – and insight overall into how the Dollhouse works.
Rossum Corp – finds people who are in trouble – financially or with the law and signs them up for a five year contract –
Does that mean that they’re free after five years and just get their original memories back?
It’s still unclear how agent ballard will get back on the case but you gotta know that he will be ..sooner rather than later.

On March 29th after waaay too many years the cast of the best Star Trek show ever will finally be re-united — albeit in animated form.
All of the original main cast member will voice actors in the show ..
awesome.
Family Guy is a great show (though we weren’t super keen on Blue Harvest the star wars spoof).
I can hardly wait!

This was a weird episode – Sam tracks down the Aries Toy company – an obvious connection to Project Aries which is the reason why sam is in 1973 right?
The toy company had mars pathfinder toys – obviously something that didn’t belon in 1973.
The FBI agent clearly new everything – and at one point I was thinking maybe this is the final episode…but no we end up with what…more confusion..
I really hope that whatever Project Aries makes sense – it sure would suck to have a Lame ending like Battlestar Galactica
