Saturdays can be tough at Fan Expo if you aren’t ready and prepared. Sue and I find that the real key to Saturdays is try to stay out of everyone’s way – stay off the floor as much as you can and enjoy the Q&As and photo ops. Pick one thing you need and want to…

Fan Expo 2012
Here it is August 2012! And it’s almost Fan Expo time, my favorite time of year! The Mind Reels, just shy of it’s 1 year birthday, coming up in October (can you believe it?!) has been invited to attend this year’s Fan Expo and cover it as Media. Sue and I are delighted. I’ve gone…
Continuum S01 E10 – End Times
Somehow we’ve come to the end of the first season of Showcase’s enjoyable sci-fi series Continuum, and it ends explosively! It also ties up a number of story threads for the season while setting up ideas for season 2. We see things happening in our 2077 opener, that tie directly back to the first…
Victor Webster
This week Sue and I were lucky enough to have a quick phone chat with Continuum star Victor Webster, who plays cop Carlos Fonnegra to Rachel Nichols’ Kiera Cameron. We have a brief talk about his fave films, his other work, including appearances on Sex & The City and Charmed, working with some of Tim’s biggest crushes, and…
Continuum S01 E09 – Family Time
This week the story hits home for young Alec (Eric Knudsen) as a hostage situation erupts on his farm with his family, Kiera (Rachel Nichols) and Carlos (Victor Webster) smack dab in the middle of it. And before I go any further, let me just get this out of the way… Kiera looks so hot…
Continuum S01 E08 – Game Time
Now this is what I’m talking about! Continuum finds it’s feet again in what, for me, is the best episode since Episode 05 A Test of Time. We open in the 2070s, where CPS Protector Kiera Cameron (Rachel Nichols) is apparently pulling some kind of guard duty at Sautech for a demonstration. A demonstration that…
Continuum S01 E07 – The Politics of Time
At it’s heart, this week’s episode is about loyalty, trust and the heart. It’s also a rather familiar police investigation kind of story, once the plot gets going. But it’s the characters that make the story its own. It happily also helped me put some distance between the fight sequence of last week (I’ve harped…
Tony Amendola
Last weekend at Polaris, I and a select group of other media reps had a chance to chat with Tony Amendola, who is a talented character actor, very popular amongst the sci-fi crowd. He had a recurring role as Master Bra’tac on Stargate Sg-1, Geppetto on the break out hit Once Upon A Time, and…
Continuum S01E06 – Time’s Up
This week, our favorite CPS protector, Kiera Cameron (Rachel Nichols), Alec (Eric Knudsen) and Carlos (Victor Webster) get involved with the Occupy movement. As always we open in the 2070s, and Kiera and her partner Elena (Caitlin Cromwell) are on riot patrol, and find out that Liber8 is stealing food from a company Piron, that…
Polaris 26
Polaris is a fan run convention and has been going solidly for 26 years. It is a quieter more intimate affair than the wondrous eye-dazzler that is Fan Expo. This year, Sue and I were offered media passes to the event thanks to the show’s head of media Evelina Kuczer, and were delighted to attend…
