A few quibbles here and there, but on the whole, I was very pleased with the ending of Battlestar Galactica. A few questions were not answered to my perfect satisfaction, but then I’m kind of dense sometimes anyway, so maybe I just missed the answers. It was far more closure than I was expecting. And…

Tin Man, Part One
Just finished watching Part One of the Sci Fi Channel’s miniseries, Tin Man. Despite some less than clever plot elements, an alarmingly lackluster performance by the usually very talented Zooey Deschanel, and a tendency for the villains to employ just the right amount of stupid to set themselves up for a really obvious fall, I…
Vote for Journeyman!
Seriously, Journeyman is one of the best new shows this season.

So far this season…

Sci Fi Meanderings
Via Slice of Sci Fi, I found a rumor that is bound to upset, shock, and dismay up to half a dozen people worldwide: Flash Gordon, despite a plan for a two-season arc, will probably not be renewed past the first season on the Sci Fi Channel. As someone who has seen plenty of my…
Who Wants to be a Superhero: Feedback
If you know anything at all about the Sci Fi Channel’s series, Who Wants to be a Superhero, you know that the prize for winning is a comic book featuring the winning character, and an appearance in a Sci Fi Channel original movie. Last year’s winner was the pretty nifty Feedback (pictured here), and I…
Anyone Catch Flash Gordon?
So. Did anyone at all catch Flash Gordon on the Sci Fi Channel this week? Was it as bad as last week? Is there any hope at all for salvation for this show?
