Continuum – Meet Alec

When CPS protector Kiera Cameron (Rachel Nichols) arrives in the year 2012, catapulted there by a group of escaping terrorists from the group Liber8, she finds herself conversing with a young techno-wizard named Alec. Played by Erik Knudsen, Alec will become a valuable ally to the displaced Kiera, aiding her on her quest to track…

The Killing – Day 20 – Keylela

  Poor Holder.  He’s not even surprised anymore when Linden kicks him out of the car, but he’s definitely not going quietly anymore.  The respect and genuine care between these two characters becomes more and more evident with each passing episode, and now, even when they argue, their words may cut deeper, but you get…

Game of Thrones S02 E05 & E06

I missed out on doing a post last week for Game of Thrones Episode 5 because Sue and I were hip deep in the awesomeness that is Hot Docs. So this evening, I sat down and worked my way through two episodes back to back to catch up on all the scheming, betrayal and murder……

The Avengers

There’s not much I can say for The Avengers that hasn’t already been said over the weekend. For me it has already entered the pantheon of greatest comic book movies of all time. It’s fun, loud, funny, exciting, and for me, it actively conveyed everything that not only a comic book movie, but a comic…

Getting into Continuum – Meet Kiera Cameron

Showcase, continuing to prove that Canadian television rocks, is about to premiere a new series, Continuum, on May 27th. And it looks like our good friend Bo from Lost Girl may have some competition in the strong, sexy female lead department. I got a sneak peek at it over the weekend thanks to our good…

The Killing – Day 19 – Openings

  Okay.  Please bear with me – my brain is still going a mile a minute after this episode, and I know I’ve missed things and that I’ll be forgetting things – or even getting them wrong.  But let’s just jump in and see what we come up with, shall we? Terry – bless.  Dude…

A Safe Bet

I’m a Jason Statham fan. Have been since I saw Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. When you go into one of his films, well, anything after the first Transporter movie (an admittedly guilty pleasure series for me), you know exactly what you’re going to get. Statham is the action star of the new century….

Game of Thrones S02E04 – Garden of Bones

  New locations are presented to us in this week’s always brilliant opening credits, we get a glimpse of Qarth and Harrenhal. The episode begins in the Riverlands with a successful night time raid on a Lannister camp by Robb Stark, his dire wolf and his men. In the blood-strewn aftermath of the assault, Robb…

Star Trek: Phase II – A Few Revisions

  Alright, so now I’m a little further into this well-put together fan series, and wanted to update my previous statements. Cawley and co. obviously felt that the first Scotty didn’t work out, and have since recast him with a moustached gentleman who has our favorite engineer’s burr down pat. The stories have improved from episode…

The Killing – Day 18 – Ghosts Of The Past

  Gah! This show! It just keeps getting better and better every week! I’m finding that there is so much going on now – with everyone – that it’s really no longer about who killed Rosie Larsen anymore. Yes, I want to find out, and my brain is still spinning on all the new information…
