I’m feeling depressed about the Endeavor’s final launch. After today, there is one more shuttle launch (Atlantis in June) and then it’s over. The shuttle program is done, there’s nothing to replace it, and it sucks.
Full Story »Books: The Rise of the Iron Moon by Stephen Hunt
I picked up The Rise of the Iron Moon fully expecting to not enjoy it very much. I mean, it’s the third book in Stephen Hunt’s Jackelian series and I hadn’t read the first two (The Kingdom Beyond the Waves and The Court of the Air). I was wrong.
Full Story »Stargate Universe: Epilogue
John Scalzi, the creative consultant for this series, once said that building a world two questions deep helps build sufficient rationale. Unfortunately, in this week’s episode the writers missed that bit of advice.
Full Story »I Only Care About Sci-Fi Royal Weddings
Contrary to what Barbara Walters says, my sweet spot as a female audience member has nothing to do with Cinderella stories or fairytale weddings (and is it really a Cinderella-esqe fairytale wedding if no one is getting their eyes pecked out by birds or dancing in red hot iron slippers till they’re dead?). But, I can get behind these royal weddings and wouldn’t mind having some of these commemorative plates on my wall.
Full Story »Books: Attack of the Vampire Weenies and Other Warped and Creepy Tales
I jumped at the chance to read Attack of the Vampire Weenies. A book of short stories about ghosts, vampires, dragons, wishes gone bad to remind me of my childhood. Eventually, I’d like to introduce my children to books like these, but they a just a tad too little at the moment. Although, I did find a story or two that was appropriate for my children (ages 7, 5 and 5) most of these stories are probably better suited for older children.
Full Story »Fringe: 6:02 AM EST
Hey, let’s show a character’s humanity and emotional vulnerability by having him pray and believe in God! Like that hasn’t been done a million times over. It’s the 21st Century, people. We do not need a Judeo-Christian belief to feel united as a freaking species.
Full Story »Supernatural: Frontierland
by Sylvia Bond – Samuel Colt and his magical Colt revolver make quite an appearance in an episode that had me laughing. A LOT. Maybe I was just ready to laugh or maybe the ep was truly well written. Either way, this one’s worth a watch.
Full Story »Game Of Thrones: The Kingsroad
The Wall is impressive. Seeing it on the screen like that brought things into perspective — it’s not meant to keep just the Wildlings, or for that matter the White Walkers out. What else lies to the north?
Full Story »Smallville: Booster
One down, three to go. I still haven’t hit the level of bittersweet over the whole deal yet. I have a feeling I won’t start the “grieving process” until the after the finale. With all that being said let’s get to this episode which I have been waiting to see for a bit.
Full Story »The Vampire Diaries: Klaus
I’d like to note that hundreds year old vampires shouldn’t call their teenage lovers “girlfriend”. The whole thing just grosses me out to begin with because it reeks of pedophilia.
Full Story »I Don’t Care About the Royal Wedding
All this coverage and hoopla — it’s like events and moments created to give this thing more significance that it really has. The mere notion of a royal wedding seems absurd at this point in our history because the royal is rather meaningless. I mean when you get down to the basics of it — this is essentially a wedding of ridiculously wealthy person to a not terribly poor woman, who because of his position in the country and his riches is able to marshal a massive police force and employ a large amount of his “subjects” to cater this shindig. That’s it. Is it great that they’re getting married? Sure, it’s always nice when people find true love. Like I said, I hope they’re happy. I just don’t need a play by play of their happiness
Full Story »Best Movie Zombies: And the Bub Goes To ….
There you have it — the first annual Bub Awards are over. The sun is rising, bellies are full of brains and it’s time for zombies to go back to sleep. If I’ve missed any feel free to add your own Bubs to the list and long

Run for Your Lives: Zombie 5k
Run For Your Lives is a first-of-its-kind race in which runners will navigate a series of 12 obstacles over a 5K course, while avoiding ZOMBIES and making strategic choices to find the quickest route to the finish line.
Full Story »Hanna: Girl Power and a Prize Pack Givaway
I’ve read several reviews describing Hanna as a “girl power” movie. Given what I know about the plot, deeming it a girl power movie kinda freaks me out. Also, we have some Hanna prize packs to give away.
Full Story »Germs R Us: The Zombification of America
I started to really observe crowds. After all, it seems that zombies hunt in packs, or droves. I started to play a game I used to: as a horror movie buff, I often broke people up into two categories – the ones who lived and the ones who got axed. I’m here to tell you how to stay on the side of the survivors: embrace germs.
Full Story »The Walking Dead Star: Emma Bell
I don’t know if they all received a memo of “Pretend to want to eat the actors at ALL times” or not, but they never left character. Even in the lunch tent. I would walk by and get so creeped out by their zombie advances, I would literally throw chicken legs in their direction.
Full Story »Zombie Accessories
The zombie apocalypse is near. No, really, it is. I hope you have a plan. Besides determining your safe haven, your stores, and your evacuation route, you should also consider the state of your accessories. Don’t just assume you’ll end up in a mall with plenty of bling to choose from. Just because it happens [...]
