The trailer of Godzilla: King Of The Monster dropped a week or so ago, and I can at least see the monsters–something you can’t necessarily say about the 2014 movie. It should go without saying but I. Want. To. See. The. Monsters. Why would I be remotely interested in these movies if not to see […]
Star Trek is a mess. There, I’ve said it. It’s a Gordian knot of tangled timelines–Is it Prime? Is it Kelvin? Do you care any longer?–managed by people who apparently care more about monetizing it than actually building a living, viable world within its boundaries.

The teaser for Terminator: Dark Fate dropped today and it looks better than the bulk of the past movies (beyond the first two) but even the return of Linda Hamilton can’t seem to elicit a pulse this time around.

And few mediums […]
The full trailer for The CW’s Batwoman dropped earlier today and it bothers me. To be honest I feel that way about quite a few things about the trailer but one thing immediately went to the top of the list. And that’s the appearance of a young Lucius Fox (played by Morgan Freeman in the […]
I’ve always enjoyed British sci-fi. Reason being, it tends to be particularly dry and focus more on things like technology and hardware than it does on human emotions (they’re there but usually aren’t a priority). And sure, that can make for some particularly wooden television at times–check out the first season of Space: 1999. It’s […]
