UFO was Gerry Anderson’s first live action television series (he typically worked with puppets, creating shows like Stingray, Terrahawks, Thunderbirds, and others). The series revealed around S.H.A.D.O (Supreme Headquarters Alien Defense Organisation) and its mission to protect the Earth from alien invaders. It’s a show I enjoyed growing up, particular due to the remarkable theme […]
I’ve really been getting into New Amsterdam lately – such as the power of Netflix – though the nature of such shows isn’t typically appealing to me, namely they tend to be soapy. And that’s not to say that New Amsterdam doesn’t have its moments but overall it’s dramatic without being overly so. To those […]
I find if fascinating when rich people squander their fortunes because they start the race a few leagues (Roman) ahead of everyone else, yet they still manage to screw it up (which isn’t the same as a poor – or should I say “less rich” – person who lose any newfound wealth because they’re unaccustomed […]
H.G. Wells’ War Of The Worlds has to be among one of the most adapted science fiction novels ever written. I can recall seven off the top of my head–including the subject of this post–though I’m reasonably certain there’re a few that have escaped my notice. This version takes place in various countries in Europe–of […]
Russell Davies created Queer As Folk (starring Aidan Gillan, Craig Kelly and a very young Charlie Hunnam) that ran from 1999-2000. Later, in 2005 he was an executive producer/writer on Doctor Who. Interestingly, if watch the first episode of the original Queer As Folk, there’s a scene where Vince Tyler (Craig Kelly) is watching Doctor […]
And speaking of content, the title of this article–while to the point–is blander than it perhaps deserves. And speaking of articles Forbes has just published one claiming to know why Netflix has cancelled it’s Marvel shows (out of five only two, Jessica Jones and The Punisher, remain). And to be honest I don’t expect either […]
If there were a overarching theme to Time Enough At Last, the eighth episode of the first season of The Twilight Zone, it would have to be that no matter how bad things may at first seem, they can get much, much worse. After all, you have to keep in mind that about midway though the episode a […]
“There was always this glorious darkness inside of you.” –Elektra Nachios Elektra (Elodie Yung) has re-entered Matt’s life, and he’s not particularly glad to see her (which is understandable considering how they parted. Besides, she also is a bit nuts. It’s an interesting take on the character, in that she doesn’t appear particularly noble–like in the comics–more […]
When we first meet Will Bowman (Josh Halloway) he’s preparing breakfast–or at least attempting to–for his family, that consists of his wife Katie (Sarah Wayne Callies, most recently of The Walking Dead) and three children, before he heads out to work. Though one of his sons is missing, and Will is doing all he can […]
I’ve written on this topic before, though I have yet to find an answer–satisfying or otherwise.
