As a self-proclaimed and certified Newbie, it is my goal to throw myself headfirst into all things sci-fi, specifically peering into some of the most critically acclaimed science fiction based TV shows, movies and literature! I check them out in pure tabula rasa fashion, with typically nada knowledge about the premise and letting the work…
Guardians of the Galaxy may remain an outlier in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but it is one of the most enjoyable sci-fi adventure films I have seen in a while. Screenwriter Nicole Perlman and director James Gunn have managed to give us a fun movie (slightly reminiscent of Gunn’s cult classic The Fifth Element) that also…
There are spoils here. We are now six episodes deep in Dominion, and the kids are no longer taking their fathers’ crap. Claire finally discovers the truth about her mother. Alex brings her to the vault where he keeps Clementine, unable to kill her. Against Michael’s best wishes, Alex wants to perform an eviction (exorcism…
Cophine-related spoilers ahead. Read at your own risk. Anyone who’s read my Orphan Black articles knows that I’d sacrifice my firstborn, drain my mother of blood and starve myself to see Cophine burst into flames, or rather simply Delphine all on her own. If I could rub a magic lamp and use my three wishes…

BEWARE: I tried to keep it spoiler-free, but…things might’ve happened. How much is life worth? Can you measure its value in war-torn buildings, shambles of disintegrating civility, or is it easier to simply count the bodies, piled upon one another in ditches and crevices of human hope? Alfonso Cuaron’s Children of Men depicts a world…
Enter a futuristic society where humanity has branched off of Earth and settled among its extraterrestrial neighbors in the Spiral Arm. Kevin J. Anderson’s The Dark Between the Stars is the compelling first installment of a brand new trilogy called The Saga of Shadows. Humans have divided themselves into the independent, spaceship-savvy Roamer clans and…
The Show: Knights of Sidonia’s main claim to fame is that it is the first anime series to be broadcasted in America exclusively by Netflix. Despite what the phrase “A Netflix Original Series” may make one assume, Knights of Sidonia (Shidonia no Kishi) is based on a manga originally published in Kodansha’s Afternoon magazine. The series…
Hey everyone. It’s 1:55 in the morning on the East Coast. I’m very tired. This is not complaint so much as a general statement of my present condition. I could use some rest. I’m publishing a good chunk of “Stitches” right now. I know that I stated that I’d have it done, and I will…
BEWARE: I spoil. There was so much happening this episode! In my last article about Bitten, I played with the idea that perhaps the Pack deserved a little rebellion, and I still think that may be the case. Santos calls Jeremy and wants to address the violent ways in which the Pack upholds the law….
BEWARE: I Spoil. Mayday! Mayday! We’ve got bigger problems than psychos in Stonehaven. Jeremy’s leadership is challenged by a rogue Mutt. The poor guy, Samuel Boggs, knocks on Jeremy’s door and thinks he can take the Alpha down. Big mistake. Clay WWE’s him and punches some sense into him. Psh. “Word is the Pack’s weak.”…
BEWARE: I Spoil. Bitten’s fifth episode is packed to the brim with FEELS. Throughout the episode, we travel back and forth between the present and the past. Not only do we get to revisit the scene of Clay and Elena outside of Stonehaven for the first time, but we also get to see how they…
