I understand that the above title may come across as slightly disingenuous since the picture in reference (to clarify, Jiminy) does contain some visual effects. However, an undeniable fact still stands: some of the greatest stories ever told have been tales not of the clash of massive starships amidst the black vacuum of space, nor colossal transforming…
When I say sci-fi, you say activism! Sci-fi… You didn’t say it. Or did you? It’s hard to tell through the screen. If you didn’t, it wouldn’t be surprising. The two concepts don’t flow organically from one to the next. They don’t go hand-in-hand. Or do they? Depending on where you look, they do indeed….
This is a guest piece written by author Collin Pearman. His novel, A Timeless Abandon, was reviewed by our site and is available online today. With that said, enjoy the article. 2015 has been a good year for science fiction. Let’s be honest. TV shows like The 100, iZombie, The Expanse, 12 Monkeys, and The Walking…
I haven’t been able to write on Sci-Fi Bloggers for quite some time due to the fact that I’ve been on the planet Vulcan. Well, not really. But I have been working on various projects & geeking out at conferences and events over the summer. I’ve missed it. But thanks to Dylan and the team…
So this video is kind of weird. I’m no stranger to music videos with a bit of an out-there concept, especially when I review science fiction-themed ones; but this is just odd. In fact, let me be blunt here: I’m not a fan of the video. It looks like some sort of strange combination between…
I am pleased to wear my heart on my sleeve and my passions on my skin. To be totally honest, I don’t thoroughly recall getting a lightsaber tattooed on my index finger, but I am happy it’s there. They say drunk words are sober thoughts, so maybe instead of getting sloppy when drunk, I just…
In the UK, three years before Captain Kirk boldly went where no man had gone before, a shabby-looking, blue police telephone box materialized out of thin air and into the hearts and minds of a new generation of viewers. The Doctor had just announced his presence to an early 60s Saturday teatime audience. The blue…
In the third episode of the cult classic, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, entitled “Witch”, we are introduced to a key player in later seasons, Amy Madison. Also, witchcraft is first used and, hey(!), that’s pretty important. “You have a sacred birthright, Buffy. You were chosen to destroy vampires, not to…wave pompoms at people. And as the…
In the UK a General Election is due to take place on the 7th of May this year. Like all “democratic” countries, the same old rounds of suit-wearing male dullards flood the airwaves with false promise and hope. The electorate is tired and angry and valiantly vows to vote differently this time—except they never do. Politicians…
Everyone knows Alyson Hannigan from at least one of her three big roles: Michelle Flaherty in American Pie, the adorable Lily Aldrin from the CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother, or her first big role (and my personal favorite) on Buffy the Vampire Slayer as the well-rounded, slightly psychotic, always dorky Willow Rosenberg. Willow and…
For the record, I think Robert Downey Jr can be a fantastic actor. I really enjoyed his portrayal of Sherlock Holmes and if you’ve ever seen Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, you know he has a talent for comedic timing. Yet every time I have a conversation with my girlfriend about Iron Man, she snorts and tells…
February may be a time for love and hearts and all that mush, but let’s talk about loving someone so much that we would use a questionable serum to get their heart to beat again, huh? So it’s not a true story, but it is the plot for the upcoming film, The Lazarus Effect. The…
