I think by the time actual aliens invade our planet, the human race won’t be interested. Kind of like, “What are you gonna do…attack us? Eh, seen it.” Gareth Edwards’ Monsters (2010) is a yet another film that explores life after our first encounter with otherworldly foreigners. Due to some American tomfoolery, a NASA “thing” crash…
WARNING: This article contains spoilers. Do you realize that someone dies every episode? Is that the real lottery? Who’s going to die this week? I’m not complaining. I love a good murder—this is Lifetime after all—just making an observation. Last episode, Vanessa was a bottle of broken glass and rain. Just a mess walking around…
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…
This recap contains SPOILERS. Screw the greater good. This episode is all about negotiating for personal interests and driving us crazy with suspense and anticipation. There are two major things happening in The Lottery, and neither of them have to do with the infertility. It’s day two of the hostage situation and Vanessa is a…
The spoils are real. When I saw the trailer for The Lottery on Lifetime, of all places, I nearly toppled over. Lifetime premiered its new original series on July 20th, this being the network’s first trek into the world of sci-fi. Written by one of the writers for the acclaimed film, Children of Men (2007), The Lottery…
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…
For some comics you can read in paper or on your favorite handheld device, here are a few fairly new or continuing series. Nothing here is from the Big Two (Marvel or DC) and only one is vaguely about masked superheroes, but there sure are a lot space suits and detectives. All You Need Is…
BEWARE: I Spoil. This episode is dedicated to “Mission: Save Jeremy”! We find out that Jeremy’s wound is more severe than previously assessed. The blade that stabbed him last episode was coated in a toxin that was taking our Alpha out by the minute. While Nick is tasked with handling Antonio’s affairs, Elena and Clay…
