Cheryl Cain wrote War Stories, which debuted on 6 December, 2002 (Fox was screwing up everything with this show). There is some tension arising between Mal (Nathan Fillion) and Wash (Alan Tudyk) over Wash’s wife, and Mal’s most trusted ally on Serenity, Zoe (Gina Torres). Wash is tired of hearing about Zoe and Mal’s war…

Firefly (2002) – Out of Gas, and Ariel
Fan favourite episode Out of Gas was written by Tim Minear and first debuted on 25 October, 2002. Serenity’s life support fails. The whole ship is in need of repairs, something I’m sure Kaylee (Jewel Staite) would remind Malcolm Reynolds (Nathan Fillion) every chance she gets. Mal sends the entire crew away, with only him…
Firefly (2002) – Our Mrs. Reynolds, and Jaynestown
The problematic Joss Whedon wrote Our Mrs. Reynolds which had an air date of 4 October, 2002, and introduced a character that not only had a huge effect on Malcolm Reynolds (Nathan Fillion), but also on viewers. The stunning Christina Hendricks appears as Saffron, a woman who shows up on Serenity claiming to be Mal’s…
Firefly (2002) – Shindig, and Safe
Since Fox had already screwed up the airing order of Firefly, it’s no surprise that despite Shindig being the fifth episode aired sixth after episodes that would come later in the timeline. Morons. Written by the talented Jane Espenson, this episode was broadcast on 1 November, 2002. Mal (Nathan Fillion) and company need a job….
Firefly (2002) – Serenity
Yes, Joss Whedon is problematic. But damn, I loved Firefly. Yes, he created it, but like Buffy and Angel, he’s not the only one who brought it to life. So with all that Nathan Fillion and the cast have done of late to bring about a continuation, in an animated format, I’ve decided to dig…
Doctor Who (Peter Davison) – The Five Doctors
Neither part of season 20 or 21, The Five Doctors was originally a Children in Need special, featuring Davison’s Doctor as well as Tom Baker’s (shown through footage recorded for the unaired Shada, as the actor didn’t want to return), Jon Pertwee’s , Patrick Troughton’s and Richard Hurndall, standing in for William Hartnell’s. Airing…
Issues Vol. 5
This week, what with being on stay-cation, I got to catch up on a few graphic novels and not just my usual pull-list this week. Kirk at West End Comics recommended a couple of titles, and I was finally able to dig into them… Goners Volume 1 – We All Fall Down collecting issues 1…
Avenged (2013) – Micheal S. Ojeda
Releasing from Anchor Bay today, was this supernatural revenge thriller, that surprised me with how much I enjoyed it. I thought it would be a little enjoyable, but I found myself really getting into this one. Zoe (the lovely Amanda Adrienne) is a deaf/mute girl on a road trip to spend some time with her…
Doctor Who (Patrick Troughton) – The War Games
Patrick Troughton’s final story as The Doctor is this 10 part story written by Malcolm Hulke and Terrance Dicks that ran from 19 April to 21 June, 1969. The TARDIS arrives on, what the Doctor believes, initially, is a battlefield in World War I, but it becomes apparent very quickly that they are not…
Doctor Who (Patrick Troughton) – The Space Pirates
Some fun model work and a plethora of space helmets highlight this penultimate tale of Troughton’s Doctor. The Space Pirates was written by Robert Holmes and ran from 8 March to 12 April, 1969. It’s bit of a lighter story, but I’m willing to take that in stride because the Doctor’s next adventure, is…
