None of the posters designed to promote this film that I came across on IMDB do this film justice. Some hint at the strangeness that plays out in the later part of the film, and arguably spoil some of it. And the ones hinting at the missing and the mystery at the heart of it,…

Smallville (2005) – Splinter, and Solitude
Splinter debuted on 10 November, 2005, and was written by Seven S. DeKnight. Lex (Michael Rosenbaum) asks Lana (Kristin Kreuk) to help him investigate the crashed spaceship that came down in the meteor shower. He also sends her a meteor rock in a box (or did he?), which Clark (Tom Welling) opens and has his…
Batttlestar Galactica (2005) – Colonial Day, and Kobol’s Last Gleaming: Part 1
Colonial Day was first broadcast on 18 March, 2005. It was written by Carla Robinson. With Colonial Day approaching, Roslin (Mary McDonnell) announces a formation of a new Quorum of the Twelve. Each of the colonies of man will have a representative on this ruling board. Things are thrown for a loop, however, when Tom…
Taken (2002) – John
The penultimate episode of the Taken mini-series first aired on 12 December, 2002. Leslie Bohem continues delivering a solid script that picks up exactly where the previous episode left off. Looks like we’re on the end run of the series now. Mary Crawford (Heather Donahue) has entered the crashed alien craft, while General Beers (James…
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…
Smallville (2003) – Calling, and Exodus
We must be racing towards the season finale, because things are happening faster now. The Clark (Tom Welling) and Lana (Kristin Kreuk) relationship seems to finally be getting underway, which is good for both of them, YAY! Or is it? Following a passionate kiss, Lana is less than sure (or is she just scared?), but…
Strange Pictures (2022) – Uketsu
I think the cover of this book is a little misleading, it calls itself a mystery horror sensation. And while there are elements of mystery to it, it’s not what I would call traditional horror in any sense. It does have some cool ideas and I like how they are presented. A quick, short read,…
Stargate SG-1 (2007) – Talion, and Family Ties
We begin our run to the series finale, with only four episodes left how are stories, and character arcs going to start playing out? Talion was written by Damian Kindler and first debuted on 1 June, 2007. When Teal’c (Christopher Judge) and Bra’tac (Tony Amendola) survive a series of bomb attacks which kill other Jaffa,…
Battlestar Galactica: Warhawk (1998) – Richard Hatch, and Christopher Golden
Richard Hatch’s second installment in the continuation of the original Battlestar Galactica moves a little better than the first one. The characters have been introduced now, but even so, there are few things that happen that makes it feel like the stories are falling back on what has already happened as opposed to taking things…
Farscape (2001) – Season of Death, and Suns and Lovers
Season three opens up immediately after the conclusion of the previous episode. Written by Richard Manning, the episode launched a new opening credits title sequence on 16 March, 2001. Aeryn (Claudia Black) is still (mostly) dead. Crichton (Ben Browder) is still strapped to the surgery table, unable to speak. Scorpius (Wayne Pygram) has the neural…
