90s Movies In The House!

18 Jun

Stewart here…

Some months ago, we briefly touched on movies of the 90s. As I have been occupied with other things (like say, covering a weekly TV show for this very site), I can finally sit down and list off some of my favorite movies of the 90’s: Continue reading

Hold on to your butts! Jurassic World is a Summer Blockbuster!

16 Jun

Like most of America, I headed out with my family over the weekend to view the Jurassic Park franchise reboot, Jurassic World. Walked in wanting dinosaurs, snark, and absurd situations (come on… there’s a scene with people in hamster balls! Who does that?). I walked out happy because that’s exactly what I got. Sure the film has its flaws, but I’m not expecting Schindler’s List here.

My bottom line is that I want my summer blockbusters to be a couple hours of fun, where I don’t focus on my real life. And that’s what I got.

I liked it. I’d happily see it again. Continue reading

Stargate SG-1 Minicaps / Season 4, Eps. 9-12

14 Jun
The Stargate SG-1 Season Two Minicaps only used that extra Gate once, and it was for business purposes only.

The Stargate SG-1 Season Four Minicaps is busy keeping this generator running. Also, his name is Kenala. Who’s this Stargate SG-1 Season Four Minicaps you are referring to? That name sounds familiar…

Stewart here…

Last time, SG-1 have been busy securing their alliance with the Tok’ra (brainwashed assassin interference notwithstanding), and dealing with a disaster on a Russian Stargate program. And hey, those death gliders nabbed back in season two? We’ll find out what happened to them in this installment of minicaps… Continue reading

Stargate SG-1 Minicaps / Season 4, Eps. 5-8

6 Jun
The Stargate SG-1 Season Two Minicaps only used that extra Gate once, and it was for business purposes only.

The Stargate SG-1 Season Four Minicaps has been brainwashed into being a sleeper assassin. So just be on guard for a while.

Stewart here…

SG-1 has been in the need of a breather after stopping the Replicators arriving on Earth (and losing one of the Stargates in the process), helping the Asgards fight the metal bugs, and helping out the Tok’ra on some particularly dicey missions. You think the team will get some down time? Not a chance! Continue reading

Stargate SG-1 Minicaps / Season 4, Eps. 1-4

29 May
The Stargate SG-1 Season Two Minicaps only used that extra Gate once, and it was for business purposes only.

The Stargate SG-1 Season Four Minicaps is busy fumigating itself based on a Replicator infestation.

Stewart here…

So last season ended with SG-1 getting to meet the current troubles of their allies, the Asgard. It’s the robot insects known as the Replicators, who assimilate technology and, true to their name, replicate more of them. In order to keep a Replicator-infested Asgard ship from landing on Earth, the team sets it to burn up in Earth’s atmosphere. The team (minus Daniel, who’s bedridden and unable to enjoy the fun of fighting a new alien race) appears to have escaped the burning ship via Stargate, but for all their efforts, a Replicator survives the crash and is now on Earth! Where did the team end up, and will they be back in time in stop the Replicators from taking over the planet? Obviously, yes, but let’s see how we get there… Continue reading

NerdLush Asks- Interview with an Author, Chapter 2 ~ Alex Langley

23 May

Sometimes new authors  (or in this case, new-ish) cross our paths and we feel the need to share them. This time we have the honor of interviewing Alex Langley, who has written some fabulous “geek” books as well as the upcoming graphic novel, Kill the Freshman, which was a Kickstarter that we helped fund last year.

Stargate SG-1 Minicaps / Season 3, Eps. 21-22 and Season Three Highlights

21 May
The Stargate SG-1 Season Two Minicaps only used that extra Gate once, and it was for business purposes only.

The Stargate SG-1 Season Three Minicaps likes to be notified in advance of a being beamed up to an alien ship. You know, to be polite and all.

Stewart here…

A lot has happened for the members of SG-1 this season. Daniel’s wife died, Skaara was saved, and their enemy Apophis came back from the dead, seemingly stronger than before. As bad as the Goa’uld System Lords have been, there still is one significant threat looming on the horizon, one the Asgard have apparently been occupied with, and one that will end up at SG-1’s front door… Continue reading

Some Thoughts on Season 2 of Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD

17 May

Stewart here…

As I’ve discussed this season of Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD earlier in the year, I thought I’d discuss in various bullet points some random thoughts that crossed my mind while watching the season finale and reflecting on the season as a whole: Continue reading
