Really?? NO WAAAAY.
This comic book is all about one thing – the destruction of New Krypton.
No we didn’t see this coming. After two years of following the New Krypton saga, we’ve grown fond of the place.
New Krypton/Kandor has been part of the Superman universe for what 40 years or more at this point? and now it’s GONE.
Unbelievable.
And all destroyed by Luthor/Lane via Reactron — killer of Supergirl’s dad too – now killer of her mom and Kandor itself.
We’re still in shock.

Stargate Universe – Lt. James Sabotage – and how did Chloe, Scott and Eli get back so fast? May 9, 2010

Sabotage
How the heck did Scott, Eli and Chloe get back so fast? you mean they just stayed on that planet hoping that the remote would activate?? really?
AND finally loads of screen time for Lt. James – though kind of lame that we didn’t see her actually sabotage the systems…that might have been good to see.
The big mystery now is what happened to Dr. Franklin? Has he somehow become ‘one’ with Destiny such that he has ascended to become part of the shiP?

JibJab.com has been in the biz of letting users insert their own hedshots to make funny ecards for awhile.
Now they’ve moved into star war cards – and yes they’re awesome.
Only problem is the free eCard is only for Empire Strikes Back, if you want to put yourself in ANH or ROJ, it’ll cost you – but not much and they’ve got a trial now too (Funny eCards at JibJab. Risk FREE Trial!)

So Peter finally meets his real dad – and he’s a Secretary of some political dept on the other side (secretary of war?).
And why were the shape shifters after the other ppl’s brains, when they clearly knew where Peter was?
Makes no sense.

So the FBI has now finally realized that Simon is suspect zero and a major scum bag.
Huzzah.
And oh yeah, blue hand dude is back and you can’t escape fate.
Interesting episode but not at the same level of the last two episodes…heck we didn’t even see the double-agent Janis Hawk this time at alll!
Star Wars: Legacy #47 The Sith Kill All Life on Dac. May 5, 2010

Make not mistake about it — the Sith of Star Wars Legacy show no mercy and no compassion to anyone.
Just look at what they do to Dac in this issue.
We didn’t like this issue — large parts of the story don’t make sense.
For example, how did the GA jump into the system undetected in the first place?
Also if the virus took a few days to wipe out the whole population – doesn’ t that imply that even those that escaped were still susceptible to the toxin? Making escape irrelevant right?

V – Hearts & Minds. What Are the V’s looking for? May 5, 2010
Posted by showmescifi in scifi.Tags: science fiction, sciencefiction, scifi, V
add a comment
Ok after 11 episodes (with this week’s Hearts and Minds
I don’t think we’re just food for them this time around.
With the Live Aboard program, we know see that the V’s like sticking a whole lot of needles in humans – sure that could be some kind of food thing or is it something else?
We just don’t know. And we also have yet to see a completely unskinned V either – in full Lizard get up.
Interesting episode though overall, though we have no idea why Anna didn’t put humans on the shuttle instead of the bones. After all, she has no regard for human life so why not put humans on the shuttle?
Doctor Who – Starship UK powered by the Beast Below May 3, 2010

Wow another fine outing for Matt Smith in the second episode of his young tenure as the new Doctor Who. (if you missed the episode it’s available on Amazon at: The Beast Below)
The basic premise of Starship UK is not totally unique, but being powered by the starwhale with the whole voting booth thing was kinda neat.
Even more interesting is how Amelia Pond was the only one that figured out that the Whale was just trying to save the children..while the Doctor was being a total jerk..nice.
The only mystery though is how did Elizabeth X know that that Doctor was coming? (and keep an eye out for him?) Or was she just looking to see if anyone at all was noticing the sheep had no vibrations?
Stargate Universe – Eli, Chole and Lt. Scott – Lost in Space?? May 2, 2010

Lost
As opposed to SG-1 or Stargate Atlantis – Scott, Chole and Eli didn’t make it back to the gate in time – and they should have stayed with Greer.
Huh.
That was a shocker wasn’t it? So close and yet sooo very far.
The overlay of Greer’s issues with his Dad was a great foil to the background of the story – with one team searching for Destiny while Destiny searched for the team.
Somehow we don’t think that Eli will be lost forever – he’s too smart and will figure something out…won’t he?
After all Rush made his way back — and after barely an episode too.
Matt Smith is an Amazing Doctor Who – Eleventh Hour one of the best premiere’s of ALL TIME April 30, 2010

Yeaah we’re a little late to this party. But we finally got around to watching the The Eleventh Hour
– the premiere of Matt Smith as Doctor Who.
What an amazing episode, what a fantastic Doctor Who!
Humor and strength with some amazing charisma, Matt Smith is astounding.
The segment where the anzati see all the Doctor’s incarnation in a bubble and then he tell them – I’m the Doctor, Now Run – WOW.
The new companion – with the whole little girl thing – another brilliant stroke. This is a companion that has loved the Doctor her whole life, this will be one fun ride and since we’re late, we’ve got a few episode now we can watch back-to-back to catch up.
If you haven’t seen the new Matt Smith Doctor Who – stop reading this and get it now!! (Amazon has it on demand : The Eleventh Hour

WE KNEW IT.
There was no way Janis Hawk would betray her country…
She’s a double agent working for the CIA. Huzzah!
But how far will she go? Will she kill Mark Benford?
Even though we saw this coming, what an amazing twist. There is so many layers in this show it’s astounding it just gets better every week.

There wasn’t a V Super Soldier in the original show was there?
Holy crow but that’s one powerful warrior – no wonder the regular V’s just say that they are at peace!
Also really interesting to see how the soldier class could see heartbeats and sniff out their targets.
Doesn’t look like guns will take those lizards down either.

Human
Yeaah a little slow with Rush’s dream — but we get some real insight into why that dude is soo messed up.
And how about the Daniel Jackson cameo? kind of wasted in this episode wasn’t it?
But you had to love the ’46’ number and Jackson remembering what all Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy fans know well – 42 – is the most important number in the universe!
Eli, Chole, Scott and Greer will be recovered — that we know – just going to be a question of when.
Fringe – Evil Walter Bishop from the Alternate Earth was on the Bridge April 22, 2010

The Truth – Finally!! We knew Peter would pissed when he figured out he was from an alternate Earth – and that’s exactly how it went down.
The man on the bridge – clearly that’s Walter Bishop from the other Earth.
Will we see the two Dr. Bishop’s? I think so – likely the other Dr. Bishop is the most powerful man from that Earth — hell bent on getting his son back.

Frost is dead – Dimitry is alive and we’ve got 6 more years worth of Flashforward to watch??!!
What a great episode – but now we see that Frost’s Garden of Forking Paths ends on Dec 12, 2016 – THE END.
Great to See Dr. Baltar as the eccentric – i’m sure we’ll be seeing lots more of him in the weeks ahead

Great episode of V.
We don’t think that Lisa is Fifth Column – but having her turn against her mother will be fun – oh and is she pregnant by Tyler now? – that’s going to happen!
What exactly is Blue Energy – we don’t know — but the Secretary General of the UN (in V) is a smart dude – it’ll put millions out of work and leave humanity dependent on the Vs.

issue #10 finds Buck on the Han airship — as it turns out they like prawns (eew).
A relatively simple romp in this issue, that doesn’t really solve much other than to lead us to the next set of bad guys.
Yeaah there is another set.
After fighting genetic mutations, humans that live below ground, humans that live in the air..
It’s now time for Buck to fight humans that live on the moon.

With months in-between issue Dark Horse has made this a tough series to follow..
But we follow cause it’s soo freakin awesome.
Finally we get some action here and only one pirate group is left standing – sword law be damned.
But how is Das Jennir going to save everyone here? And will he reconnect with his pals bomo and crew?
One this is for sure when the next and final issue in this arc is out, we’re going back to re-read all five issues.

Following directly after Last Stand of New Krypton #2 – where Kandor gets rebottled..
General Zod (KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!!) figures out how to get out of the bottle.
Man that was fast.
A bit too fast.
Then again after having been trapped in the bottle for so long the first time, it shouldn’t be a big surprise that he figured a way out right?
Zod also shows his true colors fighting Connor and saying he’d use him as a pawn against Kal-el. Good old Zod — we knew you couldn’t stay a decent being for long.

Stargate Universe – Faith – TJ is messed up April 19, 2010

Faith
It’s clear that the oblesik was communicating with something but what? I’m sure we’re going to find out…eventually.
kinda lame that some ppl wanted to stay behind on the planet on the blind hope that some higher power was looking out for them ..sucky that Chloe was going to stay and then didn’t. The show would be better off without her at this point.
The whole TJ is pregnant thing is an interesting twist – but would have been more interesting if she had been pregnant by the planet – instead of Col Young. But still will make for some drama.
The other dumb thing is how they gave up half their shuttle fleet — for what? Sure it was kind of broken but they have so few resources as it is…
Ohh and that robot they found in the newly opened section of the ship ..that’s going to be interesting …
