Oh Syfy, you’ve managed to go and do it again haven’t you? Broken my heart but this time it’s for the last time (unless you team up with Ronald D. Moore again). Caprica and Stargate: Universe were cancelled because there weren’t enough people watching them, and now Eureka got the chop because even though there [...]

Before I launch into my sci-fi analogy (and it’s a good one) some housekeeping… I’m back from London and therefore done with exams and my degree (go me!) but I’m rocking a hideous case of jet lag and exam fatigue that I cannot shake. It’s been a week since I returned and I can’t stop [...]
And then they go and cancel Stargate Universe

I lost most of last week to a bunch of doctors appointments. Between that and the up coming holidays I am starting to get behind in my school work so I am not a happy bunny. Throw in the news that Syfy has just canceled Stargate Universe apparently out of the blue as it wasn’t [...]

A Relationship Defined By Sci-Fi Consumption

Alex and I are off for our anniversary dinner tonight, and it got me thinking about one of the fundamental building blocks of our relationship – a mutual appreciation of science fiction. Star Wars, The X-Files and Star Trek were the ground zero from which our relationship was built. Our early years together were a [...]
sex, drugs and star trek
Posted: 05/10/2004 in pop culture, sci-fi, televisionTags: Enterprise, sci-fi, star trek
The crew of the Enterprise NX-01 have always been rougher around the edges than their successors, but T’Pol’s experimentation with sex & drugs (superbly portrayed by Jolene Blalock – will she get a nod from Emmys or Globes?), Archer stealing technology and their current fragile state as they limp towards the show down with the [...]
Very exciting news

Cinescape is reporting that Peter Weir’s next project may be William Gibson’s latest book Pattern Recognition. Alex and I started reading him whilst we were at university (and even spent hours queuing when he came into town to do a book signing), not sure how we discovered him ….probably killing time in a bookshop instead [...]
Good news if you are a Farscape fan – SciFi channel is going to produce a mini series that will give the series proper closure Now we just need WB to sort out Angel and UPN to hang onto Enterprise and I’ll be a very happy Easter bunny.

So, Angel got it’s P45 last week and now there of mumblings about whether Enterprise will get renewed for a 4th Season. Well I got my fingers crossed that UPN will greenlight another season. Okay – it was rather slow to get going but so were its predecessors and I am enjoying my time in [...]
