Chuck (2007) – Versus the Tango, and Versus the Wookie
Matthew Miller throws Chuck (Zachary Levi) into a whole new mess this week as Chuck Versus the Tango is the first episode up on the blog. With an original airdate of 8 October, 2007, Miller’s story finds Chuck working to prove he’s assistant manager material at the Buy More, while also dealing with a stolen…
Chuck (2007) – Pilot, and Verus the Helicopter
This week I begin a revisit with the awesomeness that is the television series, Chuck. I remember being completely enraptured with it from the first episode, which debuted on 24 September, 2007 – right when I needed some fun and joy. The pilot for the series was written by series creators Josh Schwartz and Chris…
The Twilight Zone (1963) – The Old Man in the Cave, Uncle Simon, and Probe 7, Over and Out
My journey through the iconic television series, The Twilight Zone, continues this week as I delve into another three episodes of The Complete Series on blu-ray, available now from Paramount Pictures. First up is The Old Man in the Cave. This episode had a broadcast date of 8 November, 1963, and was written by series…
The Twilight Zone (1960) – King Nine Will Not Return, The Man in the Bottle and Nervous Man in a Four Dollar Room
It’s time to continue my exploration of the dark corners of The Twilight Zone as I begin Season 2 in The Complete Series blu-ray set from Paramount Pictures. Trips to The Zone resumed on 30 September, 1960 with King Nine Will Not Return written by series creator, Rod Serling. The story follows the pilot of…
Serenity (2005) – Joss Whedon
Ahhh, Serenity. I’m so glad I got a chance to watch this one again, thanks to the Sci-Fi Chronicles book. I remember the year Firefly started, and the now legendary story of how Fox screwed everything up and didn’t give Joss Whedon and the show the support it deserved. Despite that of course, when…
Fan Expo Canada – A Look Back
As summer threatens to wind to a close (actually, did it ever really start?), and kids start shopping for back to school crap, my mind turns to what I fondly refer to as Nerd Christmas. Fan Expo Canada is on our doorstep again at last! This year marks my 10th year in attendance…
Independence Day (1996) – Roland Emmerich
The 101 Sci-Fi Movies list brings this combination of sci-fi in the vein of War of the Worlds and an Irwin Allen disaster flick, with a huge dose of popcorn entertainment thrown in as good measure. Now that being said, this film isn’t with its eye-rolling cheese, and its questionable plotlines… the most famous of…
The First Rule of Flying…
“Here’s how it is: The Earth got used up, so we moved out and terraformed a whole new galaxy of Earths, some rich and flush with the new technologies, some not so much. The Central Planets, them was formed the Alliance, waged war to bring everyone under their rule; a few idiots tried to fight…
What Firefly Means To Me (or Why I’ll Always Be A Browncoat)
I came to the ‘Verse pretty late in the game. I’d never been a fan of Buffy or Angel (I remember refusing to watch the former because it wasn’t Kristy Swanson in the title role), so I wasn’t an automatic viewer of anything Joss Whedon did just because it was Joss Whedon. I was…
