Full Story »Books: Inside Straight, A Wild Cards Novel
By Lisa Fary
There is a lot of history to Wild Cards. So much that I almost didn’t pick up Inside Straight, the 18th book in the series. There’s too much history, too much nuance that I won’t pick up.

Between a Rock and Another, Really Hard Rock by Sylvia Bond Supernatural Episode Review – Season Four, Episode Seven “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Sam Winchester” I’d thought we’d already had our Halloween episode for this season, but here we have another one.

Full Story »Webseries Review: The Clean-Up Crew
By Melissa Voelker
Sometimes while watching shows like CSI and Law & Order I’ve wondered how crime scenes go from being blood-spattered disaster areas back to their normal pristine (or not so pristine) condition. Luckily now there is a webseries that is out to explain all of that, The Clean-Up Crew. Watch and experience days in the lives of the employees of Frank’s Crime Scene Steam-n-Clean, a full service unit that comes in after the detectives have gone and gets a murder or accident scene sparkling clean again.
Full Story »Love and Rockets: New Stories #1
By Lisa Fary
John has been bugging me to read Love and Rockets for years. I haven’t resisted just to be contrary; it’s just that his collections on our bookshelf, Locas and Palomar, weigh about twenty pounds. There’s just no comfortable way to read a hardcover book that big.

LOST 4.7 – “Ji Yeon” by Teresa Jusino This week’s episode of Lost, “Ji Yeon”, while strange, brought the show back to good form after a couple of less-than-stellar episodes.

Full Story »Torchwood: Reset
By Rhea Dee I really love Martha Jones. Really, really love Martha Jones. So naturally, I had a bit of a squee fest during Reset, the first of three episodes featuring Martha Jones. Martha’s life as the Doctor’s companion was way too short for me. I latched onto Martha’s smart sassiness like a crazed fangirl [...]
Full Story »Review: Sequential Suicide – Slop
by Lisa Fary Slop is really disturbing. The collection, published by 803 Studios, is an anthology of shorts centering on Remus, a pig farmer with a nasty habit of murdering hookers and feeding them to his pigs. The most horrifying part is that the stories in Slop are inspired by an actual guy. Robert Pickton, [...]
Full Story »Stargate Atlantis: Trio
by Wolfen Moondaughter And once again, Martin Gero hits it out of the ballpark! Yes, almost the entire episode took place in one room, with only three people, and you know what? Gero proved he could keep me completely enthralled nonetheless. I was grinning so much my face was hurting by the end! Related Stuff:
