If you look at the history of television you should know that pilot episodes aren’t everything. Many shows change drastically from episode one and two. They can be very “don’t judge a book by its cover.” I’m not trying to be preachy to you the viewer, but more towards Fox. This fall, the small screen got…
Yes, a Deadpool movie is finally being made. Maybe you’re sick of hearing about it, but I’ll never get sick of reporting it. I’m already counting down the days until February 12th. I’m not the only one either. Besides millions of fans waiting impatiently, the film’s star, Ryan Reynolds, is also ready for the film…
Our favorite leaf on the wind and Captain Tightpants are back and looking to share their story with the world. Well, sort of their story. Actors Alan Tudyk and Nathan Fillion from the great cult classic series, Firefly, are looking to crowdfund a web series entitled Con Man, which is loosely based on Tudyk and Fillion’s experiences…
Well, it has been almost twelve months since my last contribution to Sci-Fi Bloggers, and during my time away I have been introduced to a plethora of entertaining characters, interesting storylines and various science fiction and fantasy series. This means I have joined a number of new fandoms and rejoined Twitter to discuss my new favourite…
Loot Crate seems to have a great thing going. Each month they pack up boxes full of treats like t-shirts, cool collectibles and awesome accessories for geeks and gamers around the world. So how does a company like that get any better? They produce a 15-minute Firefly short film. Of course it’s not exactly Firefly….
I should probably begin with the fact that I am a huge fan of Joss Whedon (Buffy, Firefly, Avengers), so it’s no surprise that I might’ve had some flashbacks upon reading about Fox canceling yet another science fiction series, Almost Human. It was 2010, wintertime. A close friend and I were driving home from my…
Sci-fi fans have a painful burden to bear when it comes to getting their television shows cancelled or truncated (I see you, Browncoats, I see you). Fortunately, for those who wish Buffy the Vampire Slayer was still airing or that they could watch another season of The X-Files, there’s another visual medium that works well…
WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD. As a self-proclaimed and certified Newbie, every week it is my goal to throw myself head first 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…
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?…
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…
It was a moment that Firefly fans had been waiting 10 years for. After the heartbreak of the shows early cancellation, to the brief glimmer of hope brought on by the motion picture Serenity and the end of the franchise, Firefly fans have been through a lot. It’s not easy letting go of a universe…
Traveling through space is standard fare in the majority of science fiction. Mundane but important, space travel allows characters to explore new worlds, engage in daring space battles, or flee from a troubled past. Just as in real life, many vehicles simply don’t catch the eye. We’ve seen them all before, a hundred times a…
