Television Graveyard- plot 1, PREY

14 Sep

I have, in my collection of DVDs, a large number of old, short-lived, or maybe little remembered series. I might throw Firefly into this group, but if you call yourself a geek or a nerd, you ought to be familiar with that one. So I’m thinking that from time to time it might be fun to discuss one of these dearly departed television series. Not recaps, per se… just a wee post about them.

We’ll start with one from 1998- PREY

Nerd Adventures ~ Aquarium of the Pacific

10 Sep

I love Jellyfish. And Penguins. And Sharks. And well… pretty much everything you can and do find at aquariums.

Generally, I go to the Monterey Bay Aquarium because its close to my hometown- we got there on field trips as kids. I visited my brother once when he lived in Baltimore and he used it as an excuse to go to their aquarium. And when I lived in Chicago- visiting friends gave me the same excuse. Heck, even last year visiting Kathleen in Seattle led to a visit to an aquarium! So… I think it’s clear that I like undersea things. Continue reading

FARSCAPE Revisited Mini-caps / Season 2, Episodes 9-13

8 Sep

Guess who’s back? Back again? Farscape mincaps! Tell your friends!

Stewart here…and fair warning, some spoilers lie within…

Well, fellow travelers of the Uncharted Territories, its time for another round of mini-caps on Farscape.  Look, we got a lot of episodes to cover (I rather cover the 3-parter as a whole than split it up to stay in my regular 4 episode block I set up) so I’m assuming you are caught up (and more importantly, just re-read the previous installments).  Let’s Starburst in, shall we?

Old Adventures… Salute to Supernatural 2007

6 Sep

While living in Chicago for a short time, I didn’t get out and do as many nerdy things as I’d liked- I’ve actually done more nerdy things in Chicago since I moved back to California! But one of the things I did do was head out to the Creation Con Supernatural event in 2007. At the time, I’d never seen Supernatural (I was working on my masters, had only public TV, and was very sheltered due to being a California kid living in a city that actually had WEATHER!) so I opted to go to the con for two reasons- two guests that I adored and a few friends from around the state were heading in for it. However, I came out of the weekend with a love for Jared and Jensen (damn them for being awesome) and a need to watch the show. Continue reading

If I Can Just Have 5 Minutes Of Your Time~ Web Series reviews, issue 3, Husbands, The Series

4 Sep

One of the things I want to do with this web series review posts is point out a small series that you may or may not have heard of and give each it’s moment in the spotlight. Today, I want to touch on a series from the amazing talent of Jane Espenson and Brad Bell (probably better known as Cheeks). Continue reading

The Great Trek Debate, chapter 1- Captain

2 Sep

I was raised, as loyal readers know, on classic Star Trek. So when a new series starts, you better believe I’m there watching. Of course, there hasn’t been a new one for a bit but series come out on Hulu and Netflix, as well as HD DVD releases all the time, so it’s a perfect time to catch up!

So as I began watching Enterprise on Amazon, I started thinking about some of the strengths of Star Trek. Let’s start these posts with a look at the captains. Continue reading
