(S03E13) Once again, we're given a bit of a filler episode. Not that these are bad things - there are only so many episodes where we want to see the same bad guys. These filler episodes help bridge the gap and usually manage to introduce a few key elements that become useful later on. This one was an odd combination of older elements - kind of like leftover night, the only time people would ...

(S10E13) When I read the description of this one, I couldn't help but think of the alternate universe Star Trek episodes. I was a bit worried that it would be an episode of unethical commandos. Thank god, none of the main characters was sporting a goatee. (I'm not counting our bumbling scientist) Instead, I was treated to a rather interesting exploration of a very plausible alternate (but ...

(S03E12) After a predictable SG-1, Atlantis outstripped my expectations and delivered a fantastic episode. Echoes was just a pleasure to watch. The ZPM arguments are back again, but the rest of the episode was a refreshing dose of fresh ideas for the show. ...

(S10E12) When I first saw this episode of SG-1, it was a review copy. Usually these are pretty rough. They lack special effects, final editing isn't quite done, and there's usually the random bad voice over. Since Sci-Fi has had so much time to get these ready for showing (not to mention the fact that the show was already on in the UK) things were a bit different. I found myself reaching for the ...

(S03E11) After the mid-season break, part 2 was a refreshing episode of Atlantis. In part one of The Return, some Ancients kicked everyone out of Atlantis, followed by the Pegasus Galaxy replicators paying a visit for a wee bit of vengeance. The main characters of Atlantis swiped a jumper and were making their way back to Atlantis in a desperate attempt to save the city. With one short line of ...

(S10E11) Stargate SG-1 came back with a freakin' good episode. Before the credits roll we're treated to a nice review of the past and the team is back to being chased down by a rather grumpy dragon. It's an intense start, and the rest of the show delivers on the promise of a great final run for the series. ...

(S01E01) Afro Samurai is Samuel L. Jackson's latest venture. It's a captivating mini series that's something of an americanized cross between Tarantino violence and high quality anime. Aside from providing his voice for two characters, he's also co/executive producing it. "Revenge" begins in the past with the death of the boys father at the hands of Justice, a cackling creepy character, over ...

(S01E12) The season finale of Eureka trots out another classic science fiction plot. Alternate time lines can have some very interesting effects (I was a bit sad there wasn't a Delorean). The finale leaves some major questions hanging around for next season. ...

(S01E11) H.O.U.S.E. Rules presented another opportunity for some righteous character development. Some of the camera work fell short of my usual expectations, but I can forgive a lapse now and then. ...

If you enjoyed the 'first' season of Doctor Who on SciFi, you'll be glad to hear that the show's coming back to SciFi with season two. The fresh season brings a the new Doctor (revealed in last season's finale) now played by David Tennant along with Billy Piper reprising her role as Rose Tyler. In the US, we get to see The Doctor second hand. Martin Conaghan already reviewed them for the British ...
