Eureka tries time travel

Eureka tries time travel

I truly love this little town in the middle of nowhere in Oregon; I have since the first episode. Eureka’s one of those scifi shows firmly grounded in science and reality (of sorts). It seems like the kind of place you just might get if you gathered the finest scientific minds of their generation and put them all in one place with, more or less, unlimited resources. It was obvious from the very first episode that Allison and Carter were...

Revamping the Tyrant

Revamping the Tyrant

You probably noticed the site looks a little different today. I just upgraded to WordPress 3.0 and upgraded my theme and decided I wanted to get away from the old snow in the background I used to have, as it was rather harsh on the eyes anyway. I haven’t decided what background to go with yet, but it made no sense to reinstall that old background. I’m not fond of this neon orange, so don’t worry – it’s not here to...

V, the new chapter

More thoughts on Battlestar

A friend of mine finally finished watching Battlestar Galactica, thanks to his Netflix membership and wrote me to tell me how much he and his wife loved the ending – and asking me a couple of questions about the finale. I think about the finale often, I’ll admit, and I haven’t erased it off my DVR yet, though I haven’t watched it more than twice. I’ve gone back and forth from loving it to being disappointed in the...

NBC brings us a new post-apocalyptic drama: Day One

NBC brings us a new post-apocalyptic drama: Day One

Just got the news that NBC Universal is going to have a show that should be very cool in the fall (still no word on Chuck, though Heroes got renewed): Day One. Here’s the official description: From executive producer/writer Jesse Alexander (“Heroes,” “Lost,” “Alias”) and director Alex Graves (“Fringe,” “Journeyman”), “Day One” tells the story of life on earth...
