Farscape - Retrospective

5/20/2013

By Matthew Battles

Fourteen years ago, an Australian TV show boldly went where few program's had before; through a wormhole and into a distant part of the universe. Exploding into the midst of an all-out space battle, John Crichton - played by Ben Browder - instantly made enemies by accidentally killing the brother of a fleet commander. Chased across the galaxy, Crichton - who's brain has secretly been filled with the dangerous secret of wormhole control - must quickly adapt to this new way of life on the run, taking refuge on Moya, a living ship full of escaped criminals.

Doctor Who: The Name of the Doctor - Review

5/20/2013

By Matthew Battles

Our final story begins in a repair shop, and a warning alarm’s going off. The two men stop their work to investigate. Someone’s stealing a TARDIS. They’re confused. What kind of idiot would steal a faulty TARDIS? Pull back. That’s right! We’re on Gallifrey, long before the Time War and at the very beginning of The Doctor’s journey. The First Doctor and Susan are sneaking aboard a TARDIS. A girl’s voice makes the old man turn. It’s Clara and she’s here to warn him. The Time Lord is about to make a very big mistake...

It's finally here, the moment we've all been waiting for! It's taken 50 years but the answer to the oldest question is mere hours away... Doctor Who? Not to mention the identity of the impossible girl, twice dead... tonight is going to be something really special!

"Clara is summoned to an impossible conference call, alerting her that the deadly Whisper Men are closing in on Vastra, Jenny and Strax. Someone is kidnapping the Doctor’s friends, leading him toward the one place in all of time and space that he should never go. It’s a deadly trap that threatens to unravel his past, present and future…"

What's your theory on the mystery of Clara Oswald? Take a look at our theories here and check out the prequel, trailers and preview clips below. Head back after the episode for our in depth review!

Doctor Who: Who is Clara Oswald?

5/17/2013

By Matthew Battles

Clara, the girl who has died twice and met the Doctor thrice. The mystery “squeezed into an enigma wrapped in a skirt that’s just a little bit too... tight.” You’ve had Whovians up and down the nation, and across the Pond (too soon?) all asking the same question as our favorite Timelord; “What are you?”

With the finale of season 7 just a single sleep away, it won’t be long before the mystery is solved and we’ll finally know, but just what are the possibilities? With Steven Moffat at the helm they’re seemingly infinite but we’ve got some theories. From the perfectly plausible and most likely, to the outright outlandish, we’ve laid them out for your perusal.

Game of Thrones season 3 - The Bear and the Maiden Fair

5/15/2013

By Jamie Kennett

A bear there was. A bear, a bear; all black and brown and covered with hair. It was “the big one” this week, i.e. the episode written by George R. R. Martin himself. Odd, I thought, considering episode nine is usually his realm (reminisce on Baelor and Blackwater). Either way, my expectations were instantly set to considerably high when I found out the Master of Books had penned this week’s episode of Game of Thrones. That doesn’t, however, suggest these expectations were necessarily met. If you read on you’ll find out why! I’m not going to tell you in the opening paragraph. This is all just a ruse to subtlely compel you into clicking on that link down there; the one aptly named “Read More”.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D - Predictions

I’m sure I’m not the only person who did a little bit of an excitement-wee when they saw the new Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D promo revealed. So let’s have a little look at it together shall we…

Doctor Who: Nightmare in Silver - Review

5/12/2013

By Matthew Battles

Yeah, OK, I know I’m a moron. As soon as I headed over to imdb to check the title of the next episode I realized my mistake... This is the penultima installment of the seventh season! So no two-parters for us this year! I just wish I had kept my brain in gear before last weeks review went live. Ah well! Never mind - on with this weeks episode!

We seem to be on the moon overlooking the Earth as Sexy materializes in. The doors open and one, two... Three and four faces peek around the edge. That’s right, Clara caves into blackmail! The time-traveling Nanny (that premise alone has spin off material written all over it doesn’t it?) has brought the kids along on their own timey-wimey adventure.

Game of Thrones season 3 - The Climb

5/8/2013

By Jamie Kennett

As the title suggests, the wildlings finally “went over” this week. Further south, all sorts of conspiracies have begun springing up across the land, most of them being shady marriage proposals. Chaos was the overriding theme this week in Game of Thrones, with subtle nuances of characteristically bloody violence and political intrigue. Here’s my humble opinion on this week’s episode, and a short recap for those of you who can’t quite remember all the major bits that happened. They do cram a lot into that hour…
