There are some actors who you could dress up in paper bags, turn off all the lights, record them singing and dancing to the RENT soundtrack with absolutely no actual dialogue, entitle this fourteen-hour, or however long, makeshift film something condescending like Love or Enlightenment, and I would sit through all fourteen or so hours patiently and say,…
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…
Guardians of the Galaxy may remain an outlier in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but it is one of the most enjoyable sci-fi adventure films I have seen in a while.

The Show: Knights of Sidonia’s main claim to fame is that it is the first anime series to be broadcasted in America exclusively by Netflix. Despite what the phrase “A Netflix Original Series” may make one assume, Knights of Sidonia (Shidonia no Kishi) is based on a manga originally published in Kodansha’s Afternoon magazine. The series…
First aired July 16th, 2014. The second episode of Extant was just as fast-paced as the premiere, adding more intrigue to its central mystery of Molly’s mysterious pregnancy.
