by Amy Ratcliffe Last Sunday, a group of talented and like-minded individuals went to an award show excited about what it meant for the web industry. That award show did not do any of them justice. Let’s face it, it sucked. Hey Streamys, the web is growing up. Fast. The folks that will be ahead in [...]

Earlier this week, President Obama outlined his new plan for the American space program. What I find most striking about President Obama’s plan is that it’s not about the bravado and glory of walking on another planet. It’s about actually taking steps to get us off-world in a sci-fi sense. I’m a life long Star Trek fan so that totally makes me an expert.

by Amy Ratcliffe – When it comes to costumes , accessorizing is a different world. In everyday life, it’s the black headband or the blue purse. With costumes, it’s the tiara or the sidearm. I know which choices I’d rather have.

By Rhea Dee – I hate it when Fringe previews are misleading. The sneak peek had me believing that this week’s episode would be all about the secret war between Walter and Olivia over whether or not to tell Peter about his alternate universe origins. And while Walter and Olivia do have a mini-argument about that, this episode was more about Olivia struggling with the information about Peter and how to live with that information.

By Sylvia Bond – I’d say that if the boys actually did have only 99 problems on any given day, that they’d be having a mighty fine day. An easy day. Perhaps a Saturday (or Caturday, if you prefer), where the only object would be to laze about in their jammies, watching cartoons (or perhaps porn), eating cereal directly of the box, and not worrying about crumbs.

by John D. Seems like the iPad launch took up most of my internet browsing this week, as I tried to figure out if this thing was going to be useful as anything more than a content consumption device. Still, the following caught my eye. Related Stuff:

By Sylvia Bond – I struggled this week with my enthusiasm for Show, on account of last week’s also-ran episode. And I was concerned about the direction Show seemed to be going, which was abroad-spectrum focus on secondary characters, with angels and demons living together, and less and less of Sam. Not that Show has to go exactly the way I want it, however, it should go the way it set up for itself. It should be true to itself, and to its fans. Of which I’m one.

By Rhea Dee – Dudes. How freaking rad was that 80’s alternate opening for Fringe? Like, I may have yelled “Boo-yah!” at the screen I liked it so much. This whole episode was filled with delightful 80’s alternate universe tidbits, from Eric Stoltz starring in Back to the Future (something that actually did almost happen in our universe) to the design of the gigantic floating scene place markers (like New York City) written in a really 80’s looking 3D font.

by Teresa Jusino – This week was a really light comics week, and if I’m being completely honest, not a great one in terms of story quality. Several of my favorite titles were in stores this week, and yet most seemed to be at a boring point in their story arcs. It’s a shame, though I suppose these are the issues we have to get through to get to the good stuff, right? Right?!
