Ladies of BSG, I’m glad to see that you’ve found your Badass.
Full Story »Lost 5.3: Jughead
By Teresa Jusino
Usually, Desmond episodes are the best of the lot. He’s a fascinating character that has an important part to play in the grand scheme of the Lost universe. So why was most of this episode, entitled Jughead, so boring?
Full Story »Stargate Atlantis: Enemy at the Gate
By Wolfen Moondaughter
I know I’m terribly overdue with this, the final edition of this Stargate Atlantis recap-and-review column. Part of it is due to other commitments, of course (and the lure of other fandoms, like Underworld), but there’s also the simple fact of this being then end. I’m reluctant to say goodbye, coupled with the odd conundrum of not being satisfied enough with the finale to have been eager to watch it again. Creature of dichotomy, me.
Full Story »Words on Worlds of Warcraft: Behaviors
by John Zakour – Okay, maybe I am bit more sensitive these weeks but lately I’ve been noticing a lot more rude behavior in WoW. So here are a few behaviors I would like to see curbed in WoW. I think it would make the game a much more enjoyable experience for all.

Full Story »Swamp Thing: Time to Reboot?
By Lisa Fary
Before he was Leland Palmer or Satan, Ray Wise was Dr. Alec Holland. Only for like twenty minutes, then he becomes Swamp Thing and Dick Durock in a mud covered bee keeper suit takes over.
Full Story »Ask an Amateur Scientist: Unicorns
By Brian Thompson
I. The Setup
Look, I know that no one believes unicorns are real.
Okay, very few people believe unicorns are real. And at renaissance fairs, those percentages probably skew a little higher.
Full Story »Smallville: Legion
By TrinityVixen
If there was one thing Smallville didn’t have enough of, it’s superpowered people with IQs inversely proportional to their proximity to Clark’s self-righteousness. It is bad enough that the JLA is MIA for fear of their members forgetting how to blow their noses. Do we really need to raid and ruin the intelligence of the future heroes?

The Roddenberry family has planned a fitting memorial service for the late Gene and Majel.
Full Story »Buffy for Beginners 3.20: The Prom
By Sabrina Boyer
Looking back, Prom was lame. The idea, the spending money on a dress I haven’t worn since, the actual Prom itself where there was no one dancing on the dance floor except one lone girl who was not looked upon fondly by the senior class, and I didn’t have a date. I went with a group of friends, and I guess you could say my “date” was my best friend Gina. At the time, Prom seemed like it would live up to Pretty in Pink proportions, or at the very least, be attacked by vampires or zombies. But no. It was just…prom. Lower case p.

By JR Pepper
When other girls were asking for a big Sweet 16 party, I asked my folks for a PlayStation.
Full Story »Supernatural: Criss Angel is a Douchebag
by Sylvia Bond – I know the rest of the world has moved on from this, but every single time I see Barry Bostwick in any role, I immediately picture him in fishnet stockings, a black corset, with a feather in his hair, floating on an inner tube in a swimming pool with Tim Curry, who is similarly dressed. I know, I know, Barry has worked hard to move on from this interesting role, selected when he was young and inexperienced, but when you’ve seen The Rocky Horror Picture Show as many times as I have (and my numbers are in the respectable range), that image of Barry and his beautiful legs becomes emblazoned in your brain.
Full Story »Jane Austen, Now With Zombies
By Lisa Fary
Why write something new when you can just add werewolves to Much Ado About Nothing or vampires to The Great Gatsby?
Full Story »In Memory of Kim Manners.
Good Night, Dear Heart by Sylvia Bond In hard times such as we have been having, it would be nice to think that some things don’t change, that talent, once discovered, will last forever. Alas, this is not the case. I learned today to my dismay that one of my favorite directors had passed away [...]
Full Story »Comics: Studio 407
By Lisa Fary
I’ve been a bad comics fangirl. For months, there was less and less that I was interested in and now, I haven’t set foot in the comic shop since. . . when was it? Some time in December? I don’t even remember, now. However, the next time I do walk it, I hope to see comics from Studio 407 on the shelves.
Full Story »Comic Round-Up: Week of 1/21/09
By Teresa Jusino
I love comics. You might have even noticed this. My taste is varied, and while I have certain books I read regularly, I often walk into the comic shop and pick up something I know nothing about just because it looks cool. I’m adventurous that way.
