Stargate Universe Recap 1.06: Water

As I have been dutifully preparing to write this weeks episode recap of SGU, I’ve been wracking my brain trying to think of a particular moment or event in the story to launch from. Did anything really happen at all in “Water”? I don’t think so. The episode didn’t exactly...

TV Review: Caprica – Pilot

“If one does what God does enough times, one will become as God is.” – Hannibal Lecktor, Manhunter Fans, just like any other collective, are a fickle bunch.

Doug TenNapel’s ‘Gear’ – missed shifts and some fishy philosophy.

Gear. What can I say? Sometimes things are a hit sometimes a miss. Doug TenNapel is a talented a guy and he’s built up quite a fine stable of works but I’m not sure I would count Gear as one of his masterpieces. Don’t get me wrong, I liked the book and yes, before you email me and...

TV Review: Stargate Universe – Pilot (#2)

I am just about a Stargate virgin. I have seen the first movie, starring Kurt Russell and James Spader and I liked it. It had a cool concept and I really liked the whole Egyptian mythic tie-in. Since that movie it just hasn’t been on the radar. I’m sorry. I’ve been a very, very, bad...
