Among the many, many gems to emerge from last week’s pop culture fiesta, Comic-Con 2012, was this trailer for the fifth and final season of Fringe. It’s a punch summary of the drama to come, and has me salivating for the return of the only team that can save Continue Reading
“Husbands”: series 2 Comic-Con news
I discovered Husbands quite by chance one day when I saw a post by a pop-culture obsessed friend of mine on Facebook. Respecting her judgement immensely, and intrigued by the idea of a series focusing on an accidentally married gay couple – as a gay man , it is Continue Reading
“Oz: The Great and Powerful”
The Oz books by L. Frank Baum are a magical series that transport you to a land filled with wonder and creatures strange from our dreams. They are populated not just by the Wizard, the cowardly lion, the tin man, the scarecrow and Dorothy but by a plethora of Continue Reading
“Ab Fab” returns for the Olympics
It is the same every four years. The Olympics, which I don’t mind watching here and there, especially if Australia is doing well, or male swimmers or male gymnasts are competing (I am only human after all), come to town (virtually or if you’re in London this year, literally) Continue Reading

Another sci-fi series. Another bleak dystopian view of the future. The thing is that Defiance looks immensely promising, both because of its imaginative premise, but also because of the ability it will have, if properly exercised, to look at major social issues such as immigration, social cohesion and scarcity Continue Reading

“Falling Skies” back for season 3
You know that kid in the candy store? The one who’s excited beyond belief, most likely on the sugar high to end all freaking sugar highs, and bouncing off the walls like a super-bouncy small rubber ball. You know that kid? Good … because that’s how I am right now. Continue Reading
Grab your hammer! We’re building an author platform
When you say the phrase “author platform” it conjures up images of an earnest writer perched high atop a teetering wooden rostrum, fingers perched above typewriter keys, their face a knot of perspiring concentration. An interesting image to be sure, but it does beg the question of what an Continue Reading
All new “Firefly”!
Now before you get too excited, there will not be, alas and alack, new episodes of one of the best sci-fi shows ever produced coming our way any time soon, if ever. (It was such a gift to have the tale concluded in the movie, Serenity, named apart the ship Continue Reading
“Walking Dead” season 3
I am not sure when it happened exactly, since zombies still scared the proverbial out of me, but thanks to my housemate, who is a devoted viewer of The Walking Dead, I have begun to appreciate what a cleverly constructed drama it is. Like many genre shows such as Star Continue Reading
