It’s such a shame that Dollhouse has been canceled – this week’s double episode – 7 and 8 – were among the best this show has ever had.
Episode seven we see a new type of doll – one that can change personalities on the fly to suit the need. Call her – Echo Supreme. Wasn’t that awesome?
Then the tour de force that was Episode 8 –A Love Supreme Part 2
He’s a wonderful nutbag of a character that we all love to hate.
And in a brilliant stroke of drama – Ballard is now brain dead but his imprint with Alpha – WOW.
There are so many loose ends and lots more drama to come as the final 4 episode of Dollhouse wind down this awesome show, once and for all.

Grey Matters 
After all they did cut up his brain.
Was that his pal Bell there at the end that cut up his brain? Crazy..his own partner stole his life..
But then Bell went over to the other side on his own…and the warriors from the other side knew how to make it across too – so why bother with Walter?

Exciting times as the pioneering age of space tourism is almost here.
And the first icon of this new era will be…
Galactic Girl
Check her out on the side of the new VirginGalactic Space Ship Two which was shown off yesterday to the public.
And yeah they’re already taking booking with a cost of $200,000 and a deposit of only $20,000. Best part is they’ve already set up a network of accredited space agents too.
This isn’t SciFi anymore – it’s something much better. It’s real.

wow what another great episode –Justice
– Stargate Universe Season 1 episode 10 started off as a typical whodunnit..
But with the added who framed Col Young twist this was one interesting episode.
So..it Rush lost? Not likely, that alien ship will be his ticket back to Earth and Destiny at some point.
Will Eli tell anyone what he suspects? oohhh yeah..EVENTUALLY he will, just a question of when.
Dollhouse Season 2 Episode 5 & 6: The best two episodes of Dollhouse EVER Summer Glau rocks! December 5, 2009

Dollhouse is Back (well until it gets cancelled) – and its back with a BANG!!
So Rossum Corp turned one of its dollhouses against the other in a plot to ensure that the dollhouse itself is never exposed.
Amazing.
Topher and Topher as a doll – FUNNY
Summer Glau as the D.C version of Topher – ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT..Summer was awesome.
The complexity of plot in this two episode set was astounding with layer within layer and multiple sub-plot texts underneath. We know have seen our second dollhouse, we’ve now seen that Topher is really nuts..and we know more about Echo/Caroline than we’ve ever known before.
So where does Dollhouse go from here?
Well at some point Ballard will bring the Dollhouse down. At some point Caroline will help him and somewhere along the way Doc Sanders/Whisky and Alpha will return

Last night’s Fringe episode – Snakehead
Another non-pattern event – this was just some whack job herbalist that was implanting a worm into immigrants.
Yes it was neat to see the Alien like emergence, and sure Walter getting lost in Chinatown was fun…
But overall a weak episode, for which we haven’t got much of a review cause it wasn’t much of an episode was it?
Next stop: Cancellation.

Looks like FlashForward’s main plot is winding down doesn’t it?
Loyld Simcoe and Olivia were starting to get real cozy – and what the frak was up with Simcoe saying he caused the black out?
We now know conclusively that D Gibbons was behind the whole thing beyond any doubt – how we get to him – isn’t clear.
The whole bit with demetri’s fiance actually realizing her flashforward was dem’s funeral and not their wedding was also cool.
all in all a great episode, but i’m not sure how much is left unknown in this plot.

Just saw this new trailer for next years Star Trek Online – which will be the first MMORPG for Trek.
At first it kinda/sorta looks like a bigger version of Star Trek Armada (remember that game? it was fun wasn’t it?)

No we weren’t fans of the theatrical release of Terminator Salvation…but sure we’re likely to pick it up on DVD, just because.
It’s out on Tues Dec 1 (Terminator Salvation (Director’s Cut) [Blu-ray]
The big deleted scene, which has already been leaked is some minor nudity from everyone’s favorite A10 pilot/Terminator loving resistance fighter Moon Bloodgood.
Here’s the snippet and don’t worry it’s SFW.

Final episode of Chad Vader Season Two – episode 10 is now out and it’s a fun ending to a decent season.
The story comes full circle – as it always does – with Chad now once again in line – as he always is – to become General Manager of Empire Market.
The bonus is we get our best lightsaber battle – for Chad – yet – as he faces off against his one time apprentice commander Jeremy Wickstrom.
Along the way Weird Jimmy gets in the way…
Congrats to the Blame Society guys, they’ve done another fantastic job! Season 3 of Chad Vader is set for sometime in 2010.
Stargate Universe Season 1 Episode 10 – Justice – a mid-season cliffhanger November 27, 2009

No new Stargate Universe this week, but next week will be the last episode for a few months…
Yeah we hate mid-season finales too.
The basic story behind the mid-season finale is another character story – this time we’ve got a murder on the destiny.
Everyone is shocked when a member of the crew is found dead from a gunshot wound. While at first glance it appears to be suicide, the gun is nowhere to be found. The crew is confined to quarters while a search is performed and when the gun shows up in Col. Young’s (LOUIS FERREIRA) quarters, he becomes the number one suspect. Fearing a mob scene, Young agrees to a trial and cedes command to Camile Wray (MING-NA).
Dr. Rush (ROBERT CARLYLE) convinces Wray to give him control of the science team and carte blanche with the new Ancient interface, previously kept under guard. But before Rush can unlock its secret, or Young’s trial can conclude, both are needed to explore a planet hiding a secret that threatens the Destiny and her crew.

Yeaaah SciFi frakked us all over with their Flash Gordon reboot, but the that doesn’t mean there aren’t any Flash Gordon fans out there? Or are there?
Apparently there is a glut of Flash Gordon toys, so this if you’re interested you can now get your very own Alex Ross Flash Gordon for only $5 Order Alex Ross Flash Gordon (White T-Shirt) 7-Inch Action Figure
Beyond Flash himself there are also a few other characters that you can pick up to create a semi-complete collection.

Star Trek 2009 – only $9 on Black Friday November 26, 2009

Sure it’s been out for a two week on DVD now but Black Friday pricing for Star Trek 2009 is really out of this world.
Over at Amazon –Star Trek (Single-Disc Edition)
We haven’t yet seen $9 copies anywhere else, though we’d expect that by January Blockbuster will have them in the previously viewed shelf.
But if you need one of these for an Xmas gift this might be a good time to pick it up.
V – Aliens have poisoned the Flu vaccine with R6 virus – and how about that bliss? November 24, 2009
Posted by showmescifi in scifi.Tags: Sci Fi, science fiction, sciencefiction, scifi, V

The Flu vaccine is all part of an Alien/Lizard/V/Visitor conspiracy.
I knew there was a good reason why we didn’t get the H1N1 vaccine.
BUT THE WHAT THE FRAK? Does ABC have no ethics? Plant a story about the flu vaccine being a route for alien control? rly? Aren’t people scared enough about the Flu vaccine already????
For a final episode – and oh yeah after 4 episode no more V till 2010 – if ever – this wasn’t a great episode – a little slow.
Sure we’ve got an Alien armada is space waiting to annihilate us all, and sure Joshua on the New York Mothership skinned one of his own Fifth column pals…(is Joshua really John May?)…but not really a mega cliffhanger.
Overall V is a great show, decent characters, decent plot and a clear reboot over the 1980’s franchise – but ABC moronic decision to cut the show short here is the real alien conspiracy – why cut the show off now? IDIOTS.
Big Bang Theory – Katee ‘Starbuck’ Sackhoff get into the bathtub with Howard November 24, 2009

So Katee Sackhoff aka Battlestar Galactica’s Starbuck made a a guest appearance on The Big Bang Theory –
It was easily the best cameo yet for the show which has had Summer Glau and Wil Wheaton so far.
No Katee isn’t naked, but she is in the tub with Howard (isn’t that every male geek’s fantasy??)
Some of her best lines were in the trailer for this show and she had one other good line about Howard waiting for Princess Leia.
All in all Katee is a great sport, it’s just a frakkin shame that she’s an Angel since we all know she’s really a cylon.

Stargate Universe Episode 9 – titled –Life
The background song -It’s been the worst day since yesterday – was so cool at the beginning and at the end it just fit so well.
We know Col Young’s wife was with Telfrod, and get that they had nice fight at the end.
The whole thing with Scott having a son,kinda interesting and just gives us more insight into his troubled nature.
Then there was the Lesbians (with Camille) –
Oh and we found out there is a ship’s slut, though it isn’t Lt. James.
And once again we see that Rush is a scumbag. What’s up with him lying about an icarus type planet a year away?
Overall a decent character development episode for the major SGU characters – though Eli got little screen time.
Life on the Destiny isn’t like other Stargate shows, there aren’t constant attacks by G’ould, wraith or Orii – it’s mostly a lonely existence.
And just in case you want to hear that great song again – it’s from a band called Flogging Molly – enjoy!
Fringe : An Observer in Love? RlY? November 20, 2009

The observers are the whole key to the pattern, they’re everywhere in time
but last night’s episode -..August
But the whole think with the one observer watching the girl from when she was small and then being in ‘love’ with her? COME ON… at worst the dude is a stalker. At best, well he’s still a stalker.
But he did have a cool gun. And now the whole basis of who/what the Observers are is much more clear than it has ever been.
FlashForward – Bryce goes to Tokyo, Keiko comes to L.A November 19, 2009

FlashForward really sucked tonight.
Mostly it sucked because it was just a character set-up episode.
Bryce chases his vision all the way to Tokyo and finds nothing while Keiko does the same but only in reverse. Sure that was interesting but it didn’t have to be the whole frakking episode.
Let’s hope the next episode (in two weeks) has a bit more action, otherwise this show won’t make it to 2010.
Battlestar Galactica : The Plan – two word review – IT SUCKS November 18, 2009

Yeaah we were waiting for Battlestar Galactica The Plan for months. And yeaah we watched within a few days of its release.
It is so shockingly BAD that it has taken this long for us to have the stomach to write a review.
Battlestar Galactica deserves better than this kind of treatment. I don’t know if Ron Moore was smoking crack when he put this together or what was going on, but it’s totally wrong.
This isn’t a movie – it’s more like a disconnected collection of snippets that make little sense. Sure if watch the movie a few times and try and place each section in the Battlestar Galactica timeline it might start to make sense…eventually.
As a standalone movie this move does not stand at all and is not watchable. It’s that bad.
It could have been called “The Confession of the Ones” but overall it adds nothing to the BSG canon. I think this movie should be labeled by fandom as “The Mistake” and just forget about this frakking pile of bantha fodder.
BSG can do better. Razor was a decent standalone movie that added to the BSG universe in a really cool way. Perhaps after Ron Moore went nuts declaring Kara Thrace and Angel (wtf??!!) he’s no longer sane and isn’t capable of producing decent BSG stuff anymore.
V – John May Lives ! The Visitor fifth column! and Lisa is Anna’s daughter? November 17, 2009

Who is John May? ABC’s V is really picking up steam now with the emergence of the V Fifth Column. We have no idea who John May is, but no doubt he’s well hidden.
The whole Fifth Column thing was the biggest revelation in this third episode of the new V (official episode title is:A Bright New Day
It’s neat that the Fifth Column have member on board the NYC mothership – that was cool and unexpected.
But how did they convince Mary Faulkner to like the V’s? They connected here to their matrix/hub didn’t they? It’s some kind of drug that makes everyone happy.
Last but not least – how about Lisa (played by Toronto actress Laura Vandervoort??
No not a naked scene (this is ABC after all), but still that was …’interesting’.. especially since we now know hooking up with Tyler is all about pleasing her own mom – the leader of the ‘V’ s herself Anna!
