About Alpha-Girl

Lisa Fary's earliest influences are Princess Leia, Rainbow Bright, Astronaut Barbie, and her 6th grade teacher, Ms. Palmer. She's angry that it's 2011 and she still doesn't have a hovercraft, but will accept a jetpack as consolation. That jetpack had better be pink with a rhinestone monogram.

The Decade’s Best Television

I’m kind of wigged out that it’s even time to do a “best of the decade” list. 2010? Really? Arthur C. Clarke said we’d have spaceships by now. Anyway, here is my personal take on the best of the Naughts. Or Oughts. Or whatever the hell we’re calling the first 10 years of the 21st century, in no particular order.

Alice: Part One

By Lisa Fary – Naturally, I wasn’t going into SyFy’s miniseries, Alice, with a clear and open mind. I expected it to be silly, expected to dramatically turn it off with a huff halfway though, expected to groan through what I saw. I didn’t. I actually watched the whole thing, only groaned when the soundtrack kicked in (bongos everywhere), and. . . enjoyed most of it. Weird, right?

Stephen King’s Name on SyFy

By Lisa Fary – SyFy is excited to order a new Stephen King series that has nothing to do with anything written by Stephen King. An imaginary representative said, “Taking a story, stripping away it’s recognizable elements and slapping Stephen King’s name on the resulting piece of **** is a long standing tradition in film and television. SyFy is proud to not only continue it, but to raise the bar by distributing it globally.”

Robots!

By Lisa Fary – There’s nothing I love quite like a robot. Except maybe cheesecake. And Hugh Laurie. Oh, and dresses that twirl. But still, robots are pretty cool just because modern robots are the jumping off point to all of my sci-fi, lunar living, jet pack wearing dreams. Yes, I’d still like to live in a lunar colony even though it would be disturbingly similar to camping.

I Forgot to Be Thankful

By Lisa Fary – Now that Thanksgiving is over, I finally figured out what I’m thankful for. Everything sucks so much right now that it was a struggle to come up with something. You know, besides the obvious things like having a job and all my teeth, being in decent health, all the Pink Raygun writers, my family, blah, blah, blah. I feel like naming those things is kind of a cop out, like saying “the day my kid was born” in the inevitable “best day of your life” conversation (mine continues to be the day I rode an elephant at the San Diego Zoo).

5 Dishes You Don’t Want to See on Your Thanksgiving Table

By Lisa Fary – Nothing says “Thanksgiving” like gnawing on a piece of turkey jerky fresh from the oven while insisting, “Oh, no! It’s not dry at all!” to your anxious sister-in-law. The green bean casserole with Funyuns? A crunchy bit of heaven! And that slice of jellied cranberry “sauce”? Crantastic!

Interview: Nick Willing and Caterina Scorsone of Alice

Last week, I was on a conference call with writer/ director Nick Willing and actress Caterina Scorsone for SyFy’s new miniseries, Alice. I didn’t get to ask my question, so as you read this, try to imagine me lurking under the words, seething, spitting “It’s not your personal interview, dude! GAWD!”

V: It’s Only the Beginning

By Lisa Fary – Bliss? That asinine skinning scene? Did a high school drama club write this $h!t? Seriously, this makes Flash Gordon on the SciFi Channel look brilliant.

Alice in Syfy Land

By Lisa Fary – I’m still on the fence about Alice. Not feeling excited, but am mildly interested even though the miniseries is from the same guy who did Tin Man and Hallmark Entertainment’s disastrous Jason and the Argonauts miniseries.

Aliens in the Vatican

By Lisa Fary – John and I have Wonder Twin powers, but only in the shape of conspiracy theory and in the form of rum. Only one of those was activated for this piece and, for once, it wasn’t rum.

Stargate Universe: Time

By Lisa Fary – I kept finding myself distracted by Greer’s lips. That’s not to say I wasn’t engaged with the ep, “Time”. I was. But, Greer seems to be getting hotter and hotter and it’s starting with his lips.

V: There is No Sci-Fi Anymore

By Lisa Fary – This episode of V, “There is No Normal Anymore”, was like drinking Bud Light while listening to Matchbox 20 and wearing the chino pants/ white tee/ cardigan combo: an exercise in lifeless predictability and blandness.
