One very enjoyable thing I've been doing for the last couple of months is watching All The Stargates. I'm currently on Stargate Atlantis season 5, but all the SG-1 things have been watched! I'd seen most before, but less and less after season 7. (I was, at the time, one of those people who thought…

Top 12 Star Trek The Next Generation Episodes
A long time ago I wrote a post on my Top 5 Star Trek Original Series episodes. So today I thought I would carry on, and write about some top Next Gen. And since it's two and a bit seasons as long as TOS, it's a slightly longer list. Now, I may have, at some…

5 Favs of Star Trek The Original Series
For my blogathon month, and not such a cheating post as yesterday, here's a beautiful listicle of entirely sensible opinions. So, the Original Series. Now, much as I wouldn’t call myself a Trek fan, mostly cause I can’t stomach the idea of being called a fan of TNG (I’m sorry, it’s a great show! Many…
Doctor Who – Extremis
So here’s the thing: I’ve been enjoying this season of Doctor Who very much, it’s fun and delightful and Bill is superb, HOWEVER, it has also been Wholly Unsurprising; other than the Doctor acquiring a professorship and more permanent Earth residence. Every story so far, I can more or less guess the plot beats if…
Doctor Who – Oxygen
JUST OUT OF TIME (I finished writing just before this week's ep, but didn't manage to post it before I watched since PROOFREADING takes time; yes, I proofread these things, yes, I know I have many typos), this week’s rather late review type thing of Doctor Who. Spoiler: I loved it lots. I may repeat…
Doctor Who – Knock, Knock
It’s late, I know. And ACTUALLY late, not just in the same week, but not as timely as I’d like late. NEVER MIND. Let’s cast our minds back a week and a bit to what was at the time MAYBE my new fav episode of the series. But now it has definitely settled down just…
Doctor Who – The Pilot
Doctor Who is back on the tellybox! HURRAH! And so begins a new exciting series of NOT REVIEWS on this blog. Now you might be asking, possibly, heh, didn’t you do these so-called non-reviews last season of Doctor Who and NOT ACTUALLY FINISH? And, yes, that is correct. So, I shall be, er, finishing off…
Holodeck Stories of Win!
This week’s Trek post (it’ll stop soon, it will) is about the most reviled genre of Trek story: the Holodeck episode. after copious and diligent research,* there are three main reasons I’ve found that makes this Trek genre beat out even the dreaded One Episode Romance as Worst Trek Genre: 1) It’s considered lazy writing…
The 100 Greatest Starfleet Characters in Star Trek
This year is Star Trek’s fiftieth anniversary, and what better way to celebrate than with a helping of good old-fashioned nerd-rage at an Internet list you don’t agree with? After reading a list of the 100 Most Important Members of Starfleet on Wired, I was cool and collected despite the many egregious errors, not least…

Game of Thrones 606 Blood of my Blood
I'm a LITTLE bit behind in Game of Thrones, and this is actually the last episode I've seen. I may have caught a glimpse of a trailer for last week's though and OMG. But, yes, cast your mind back Some Weeks Ago to an episode that couldn't help but be a little bit of a…
