A Reason How Many Episodes I Watch The “three-episode rule” is an idea popular in the anime community. They use it because each season so much new anime comes out that they need to eliminate a bunch of them quickly from their “to-watch” list. It’s a system that’s all in the name, where they watch…
BEWARE: I spoil. Yes, I drew that on Paint. Yes, it looks like a 10-year-old made it, and so what? It’s a completely accurate depiction of the relationships between major groups in Orphan Black. There’s so much talk about the clones because they’re the stars of the show, but not nearly enough about the people…
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…
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…
With the release of the second trailer, Star Wars fever is beginning to infect even the most jaded of fans. Just seeing a speeder cruising past a downed Star Destroyer in the desert was enough to get even me salivating at the thought of a decent film. However, I was reminded to keep my optimism…
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…
Spoilers below, duh. We are getting closer to the end of this exciting fourth season. The Iron Throne is about to be attacked form all sides. In the last episode, we left our heroes in a terrible situation with a death sentence pending on Tyrion’s head. And guess what? We found ourselves watching Gossip Girl…
BEWARE: Spoilage here. There is none. There is no feminism in Metal Hurlant Chronicles. Female characters are reduced to being sexually exploited tropes with absolutely no substance or characterization that would enable them to contribute to the plot of an episode. As I’ve mentioned in previous MHC recaps, women are portrayed as either sex symbols,…
BEWARE: I spoil. Whoever told you that nice guys finish last is a liar and they should be flogged. This week, Metal Hurlant Chronicles opens up its hour finale with an episode about a man who promptly announces that he’s having a bad day. Now, being seasoned MHC watchers, we know that nothing is…
Today was the best day of my life. I am so happy with this episode. They didn’t throw me off a cliff, and when I cried, it was from tears of joy. Finally, we get an episode with LOTS of Helena (that’s why there are so many Helena pictures). But, before we get into her,…
Dear People who have not and should be watching Orphan Black, I have no idea where you’ve been, what planet you have traveled to, why you’ve just gotten cable or internet for the first time in your life yesterday, or why you like to be unhappy, but no matter the circumstance that this article finds…
When Orphan Black, an original series from BBC America, debuted in 2013, the verdict was in: THEY’VE DONE IT AGAIN. Another hit series under the belt. Viewers followed the beautiful and talented Tatiana Maslany, as she juggled a football team of characters, all identical clones with dramatically different personalities, trying to discover the truth about…
