We get more domestic stories with The Farkas Fracas. 99 (Barbara Feldon) is playing housewife, sigh, what a waste, as Max (Don Adams) and the Chief (Edward Platt) take on KAOS agents. The story, written by Allan Burns, Chris Hayward, Arne Sultan, and Leonard Stern first aired on 7 December, 1968. Mx invites the Chief…

Storm of the Century (1999) – Part 3
The final episode of Stephen King’s miniseries initially aired on 18 February, 1999. After lots of set up, we race towards the reveal of what Andre Linoge (Colm Feore) wants.

Storm of the Century (1999) – Part 2
The second night of Stephen King’s Storm of the Century was 15 February, 1999. The three parts aired on consecutive nights, and it captivated audiences. King delivered the script, which was directed by Craig R. Baxley. The second episode picks up where the first one ended, and ups the body count, as Andre Linoge (Colm…
Smallville (2004) – Resurrection, and Crisis

Storm of the Century (1999) – Part 1
While not necessarily a movie, which is what I usually cover on Fridays, I thought it would be cool to revisit Storm of the Century, something I had not watched since it first aired. Written for the television screen by Stephen King, the miniseries aired over three nights, with the premiere on 14 February, 1999….
Stargate: Universe (2010) – The Greater Good, and Malice
The Destiny comes across another ship, and Rush (Robert Carlyle) insists on going. Young (Louis Ferreira), who is intent on keeping an eye on him, goes with him. And the tension escalates nicely, in The Greater Good. First airing on 9 November, 2010, the episode was written by Carl Binder. While Young and Rush head…

The marriage of Maxwell Smart (Don Adams) and 99 (Barbara Feldon) is only days away at this point, but duty constantly calls.

Stargate: Universe (2010) – Cloverdale, and Trial and Error
Cloverdale brings us to what may be my least favourite episode of the series. Written by Brad Wright, this episode was first broadcast on 26 October, 2010. Now, just because I said least favourite, doesn’t mean it’s not good. It’s just Universe has set a pretty high bar for the series. Scott (Brian J. Smith)…
Resident Evil: The Final Chapter (2016) – Paul W.S. Anderson
Ok. Sure it took me ten years to get to the final chapter of the Resident Evil franchise. But it was worth it. I’ve always enjoyed these movies for the escapism they provide. They’re bloody and violent, and put women in strong leading roles letting them kick ass. I’ll always settle in for Milla Jovovich…
