BEWARE: I Spoil. As a self-proclaimed and certified Newbie, every week it is my goal to throw myself headfirst into all things sci-fi, specifically peering into some of the most critically acclaimed TV shows and movies! I check out the show in pure tabula rasa fashion, with typically nada knowledge about the premise and letting…
For years, I have been feeling the steam of Katsuhiro Otomo’s Akira, but I’ve never seen the fire. Akira is the 1988 animated film adaptation of the eponymous manga. The show is set in a dystopian Neo-Tokyo where gangs, violence, and anti-government groups have become the norm. The government is corrupted by money and police…
The number one reason to own a sister is for TV suggestions. Take some time out and give your sissy some cookies, you’ll be amazed at what you’ll find. I spent the weekend holed up with mine, marathoning a 10 hour season of Orphan Black. Sarah Manning (Tatiana Maslany) is just walking around one night…
BEWARE: I Spoil. This episode of Lost Girl completely ripped my soul from my body, then set my body on fire, then took my ashes and threw them directly into Hell. I can’t even. There are so many things. What. I— I just…what is life? Zombies, for starters. We’ll begin there. Someone has conjured up…
SPOILER ALERT: I WILL SPOIL YOUR SOUL AWAY IF YOU LET ME. I WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE. IF YOU ARE NOT CAUGHT UP—RUN. I am just wtf-ing this entire season. I have no idea what’s happening on all fronts. The storyline, to me, is a little wonky and all over the place, but I know…
SPOILER ALERT: I WILL SPOIL YOUR SOUL AWAY IF YOU LET ME. I WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE. IF YOU ARE NOT CAUGHT UP—RUN. The episode is really called “Destiny’s Child,” but I put it in the title because I couldn’t contain myself. I knew Schmid was Rainer (damn Tumblr), but I was waiting for him!…
I can’t lie to you. I love a good demon movie. I told you about that one movie. I eat that stuff up. Something just freaks me out about the whole Hell on Earth thing. Now, I know Constantine did not receive the most spectacular reviews when it premiered back in 2005, but you know how…

So, I have officially discovered my new strange addiction. After watching only one episode, Torchwood has completely enthralled me. The first thing I thought before even getting ten minutes in was that this show is giving me so much more Doctor Who. Airing in 2006, Torchwood is actually a spin-off of the Who series. It…
Whoever canceled Firefly with only 14 episodes in a season should be dragged from their homes at 4 AM, stripped naked, and hung from a streetlight for all passersby to throw tomatoes at them. The blasphemy. The horror. How are we supposed to live and breathe in this world? Who am I? Who are you?…
Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before. This week, I tackled one of the pinnacles of science fiction: Star Trek. My newbie-ism has no bounds….
My homie, Wikipedia, told me that the show, Firefly, was named this because the ship is what they call, “firefly-class.” This means that it’s a small transport ship. So far, I’ve only seen one episode, but I think I will watch more because I’m pretty curious to see where they’re going with this. I was…
