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…

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?

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…
Game of Thrones 6.01 The Red Woman

That's right - it's one a day till the season's over...or more if I'm feeling partic energetic, and then I can flail cheerfully about River Song, hurrah! Anyway, onwards: I've really enjoy all the cliffhangers this series. Nothing's properly beaten Beneath the Lake, but…
Doctor Who – The Zygon Invasion
Doctor Who is over for a whole several weeks, alas, and then Christmas, and then it really properly is over for MONTHS, horror, but I stopped recapping in the middle of the season. Apologies to everyone who was reading - I was swamped with work, and it didn't help that Zygon Invasion also marked the…
