And we run down the Week in Geek, reviewing some newly-announced Emmy […]

We dive into a great discussion of Prometheus and the questions it raises about human creation and corruption; the colonization of ancient earth; alien warning frescoes; self-sacrifice vs. selfishness; why the Engineer may have been justified in wanting to Kill All Humans; plagiarized cave paintings; and why Jesus may have been way taller — and buffer — than […]

In the fall of 2009, there seemed to be an endless number of continued and new television shows Shooter Jr and I were looking forward to watching. Eighteen months later, it is a very different landscape on our DVR and TV Guide. Granted, there are still some great shows left but there a quite a […]

Lookie who dropped in on the Caprica/BSG The Plan panel! Good news, too: we’re happy to hear Jane Espenson is showrunner for Caprica! Read on for more pix from Friday.

We all heard about Simon Janson’s awesomely practical Bender brewer project, but now the project’s creator has taken the time to assemble a sweet online tutorial to walk other Futurama fans through the process of building their own. The task involves some basic woodwork — plus a bit of PVC and fiberglass. My favorite part, […]
