Season nine got underway with Avalon: Part 1 on 15 July, 2005. It was written by Robert C. Cooper with excerpts written by Cooper and Brad Wright. And it is not the show it was at the end of the last season. Season nine features some big changes for the series. Sure we had Jonas…

The Hound of the Baskervilles (1939) – Sidney Lanfield
I’ll be honest, I had never seen one of Basil Rathbone’s Sherlock Holmes before. So I figured why not go back to the beginning and check out his first film, and perhaps explore more of his turn as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s iconic character – he did fourteen films. And joining him as Watson, who…
Farscape (2002) – A Prefect Murder, and Coup by Clam
Moya has entered into Tormented Space and they are going to find trouble right away in A Prefect Murder. Written by Mark Saraceni, this episode was first broadcast on 9 August, 2002. They’ve arrived on a rather xenophobic planet divided by clan wars, and Aeryn (Claudia Black) is about to be caught in the middle…
Pee-wee’s Big Adventure (1985) – Tim Burton
I hadn’t seen Pee-wee’s Big Adventure since it first came to home video in 1986. Paul Reubens aka Pee-wee wasn’t on my radar before that, it was all very much Back to the Future and Miami Vice for me. So when I was introduced to it one night, I found myself laughing aloud, hugely enjoying…
Stargate: Atlantis (2005) – The Siege: Part 1, and Part 2
Martin Gero launches the first part of the season finale, The Siege: Part 1, which was first broadcast on 18 March, 2005. The Wraith hiveships and darts are drawing close now, and everyone is aware that they are the line between the attackers and the Wraith’s new goal, reaching Earth, which would be a new…
Northern Exposure (1994/1995) – Realpolitik, and The Great Mushroom
Cicely has a new mayor, and a woman in authority is a huge turn on for Chris (John Corbett), and he finds himself very attracted to… Maggie (Janine Turner). How is he going to handle it? In that usual Chris way, he shows up at her door, with hopes to romance her. And that’s not…
Stargate SG-1 (2005) – Moebius: Part 1, and Part 2
The season eight finale for Stargate SG-1 is an enjoyable two part romp. Seeing as the Replicators have been taken care of, and the Goa’uld system lords are nicely crippled, however will the season end? Part 1 of Moebius first aired on 18 March, 2005. The episode features a teleplay by Joseph Mallozzi and Paul…
The King’s Man (2021) – Matthew Vaughn
The third entry in the KingsMan series, all of which have been directed by Matthew Vaughn, is a prequel to the rest of the series. It shows how the KingsMan agency came to be, what caused it, and how it grew its network of information and agents. Sounds great. Then you throw in Ralph Fiennes,…
Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017) – Matthew Vaughn
I greatly enjoyed the Kingsman when I first saw it. It was this perfect blend of Bond films with comic book level violence and lots of swearing. It wasn’t afraid to have fun with its concept, and remind the world that these style of movies are just supposed to be fun. The sequel, Kingsman: The…
Farscape (2002) – John Quixote, and I Shrink Therefore I Am
Ben Browder pens John Quixote, an incredibly far out episode with lots of great visuals. While Sikozu (Raelee Hill) may or may not have helped Scorpius (Wayne Pygram) escape his holding cell on Moya, Crichton (Browder) and Chiana (Gigi Edgley) find themselves trapped in inside a game, while heading back to the leviathan in a…
