Just finished watching Part One of the Sci Fi Channel’s miniseries, Tin Man. Despite some less than clever plot elements, an alarmingly lackluster performance by the usually very talented Zooey Deschanel, and a tendency for the villains to employ just the right amount of stupid to set themselves up for a really obvious fall, I [...]

Seriously, Journeyman is one of the best new shows this season. I’ve never been too keen on time travel dramas (Quantum Leap didn’t do much for me, nor did Daybreak), but Journeyman really is outstanding. It has its flaws, sure, but the focus on the character driven drama and its steadfast refusal to descend into [...]

Monday:Chuck hasn’t yet caught me. I’ve stopped recording it on our DVR and have been watching it online at NBC’s website. I’m not entirely sure what it is about this show that’s bugging me. Maybe it’s just that it’s geared more for gaming nerds than nerds like me, those that I sort of think of [...]

Last year’s winner was the pretty nifty Feedback (pictured here), and I [...]

So. Did anyone at all catch Flash Gordon on the Sci Fi Channel this week? Was it as bad as last week? Is there any hope at all for salvation for this show?

Just watched the Sci Fi Channel’s version of Flash Gordon.
Dear sweet God in heaven that was bad.
I mean, would it have been that hard to track down some actors who could, you know, freakin’ ACT? Or a director who could have brought any semblance of life to that travesty of a script? Could they at [...]

God save me, I LOVE this show! With Heroes and Battlestar Galactica both on mid-season hiatus, Doctor Who is the best science fiction on television. And even when those two shows are on the air, Doctor Who still gives them a run for their money.
