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…
Exploits in Time is not a fiction book. At least not in the traditional sense. First off because it’s a collection of short stories, but that’s not what I mean. What I mean is it’s wholly unlike anything I’ve read before. So much so that I’m uncertain on how to go about reviewing it. It…
The Fictionmonger is playing chess with…himself. After a time, the Editor finds him, alone. He then rushes in and takes a seat in front of him. MONGER: What are you—? THE EDITOR: Don’t ask questions, just pay close attention. The Monger looks left, then right, then leans in. MONGER: Where have you been? THE EDITOR: Making a TV series. Not…
Dear Readers, I wanted to let you know what’s been happening behind the scenes here at Sci-Fi Bloggers. Some of you have been wondering where Friday Fiction wandered off to, or why articles have been less frequent. Some of you may be asking why less events such as our Veek of Blood and Week of Chaos have been…
I want one of those pins. So, I’ve heard great things about Tomorrowland and not-so-great things. I’ve heard the first two thirds are incredible and that the last twenty minutes are a huge disappointment. I’ve heard the performances are phenomenal on all fronts, that the direction is stunning, and that the mysteries of the film and how…
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…
When I write a review for a book, I often start off with a hypothetical question. One that pertains to my general feelings, and serves as an easy way to pull you, the reader, into my mindset while I was reading the book. And A Fistful of Clones is no different, because this time the…
I was hooked instantly. That’s probably the best way to begin talking about this trailer. It doesn’t start with some vague threat, or generic establishing shot. It starts on a metaphor, a literal fable, one about unchanging nature. But whose? Humanity’s, or something else? Mysteries are a powerful tool, and this trailer wields it with…
Tuning in… LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, may I have your attention, please? You’ve been patient. You’ve been diligent. You’ve been loyal. Now, for demonstrating such tremendous qualities, such incredible attributes, such unbelievable resolve, you shall be rewarded! Friends, bloggers, Earthlings, lend me your ears! The time has come, yet again, for you to get your proper dose of…
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…
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…
