Is it a matter of genetics, or a state of mind? A vampire, werewolf and ghost, sharing a flat in Bristol, and trying to blend into society, investigate. Sort of. What could possibly go wrong? Being Human, created by (“School Reunion”/Doctor Who & “Greeks Bearing Gifts”/Torchwood genius) Toby Whitehouse, delivers us an amazing mix of [...]

There is chatter among fans that Eric is a better match for Sookie than Bill. Let’s make a few comparisons. Bill. He values human life. He’s trying to lead a life that sees humans and vampires living together in harmony. He represents a time of chivalry that has long since passed. His love for Sookie [...]
You don’t get much more dedicated than Firefly fans. With only 12 episodes aired prior to Fox’s fateful cancellation decision in 2002, it must seem insane to many that it still generates so much support and enthusiasm. But it was this devotion, of Firefly‘s fans, creators, and contributors (and massive DVD sales) that enabled Serenity [...]
Posted in Fandom, Firefly, Movies, Serenity, TV Tags: Can't Stop the Serenity, Equality Now, Firefly 4 Comments »In 2006, the BBC released a “younger, edgier” TV series based on the Robin Hood legend, starring Jonas Armstrong, Lucy Griffiths, Keith Allen, and Richard Armitage. It ran (officially) for three seasons. But in my mind, Robin Hood ended when season two ended. I should probably note at this point – spoilers! If you plan [...]

The only thing a fangirl loves more than a pretty boy is mauling him. Because mauling is love, at least in the Horten vocabulary. Unfortunately, pretty boys are scarce in reality. Nobody dare try to tell me otherwise, unless you can provide names and locations to back up such claims. Or at least photos. Pretty, [...]
First off, I am not a Stargate-hater – far, far from it. I have watched all the movies, all 10 seasons of SG-1, all 5 of Atlantis, and all at least 3 or 4 times through. Does that make me a fan? Who knows, the franchise speaks to me. Nor am I stuck on Stargate. [...]

Are you unable to hear the phrases “Are you my mummy?”, “Don’t Blink”, or “Hey, who turned out the lights?” without chills creeping up your spine? Do you shy away from marble statues and libraries with flickering lights? Good! Then I’m not alone in blaming Steven Moffat for awakening childhood fears I never knew I [...]
Small town, big secret. Eureka. If you’re not already familiar with this sci-fi hit, let me introduce you to my favourite little town. Some time during the Truman presidency, with the help of Albert Einstein, a top secret residential community was born. A residential community purpose built to protect America’s scientific geniuses and to foster [...]

2009 saw the end of Torchwood Cardiff with the epic “Children Of Earth”. Possibly one of the year’s best and most heartbreaking bits of tv sci-fi writing. 2010 brought us the Dollhouse finale, also sadly well before its time. In the wake of our mourning, we read (with, I admit, horror) this article, which explains [...]

As I’m based in QLD, my experience of sci-fi conventions is limited to the Supanova Pop Culture Expo. I’ve attended Brisbane Supanova since 2002 and Sydney Supanova once (in 2003). Brisbane Supanova for 2010 recently passed us by – and, ever loyal to the franchise, I went along with my usual group to get close [...]
Random: So, what do you do for fun? Me: Well, I help run a fansite for an Aussie fantasy author – Random: *thought process* Fansite? Fantasy?
