Another day. Another apocalypse. And once again Earth isn’t quite what it used to be. Welcome to Defiance, a town on the edge of a new hospitable frontier (the old St Louis, Missouri) where what’s left of humanity co-exists uneasily with the seven species that make up the alien Continue Reading
It’s the end of “Fringe” as we know it … and I don’t feel fine

Swede Jonas Oakland dazzles with new single “When the Music Dies”
We all know the feeling.

Teaser poster for “The Walking Dead” mid-season 3 return released

“The Big Bang Theory” boldly goes “Into Darkness”
Well not quite. In fact they go to Bakersfield in this week’s episode (entitled appropriately enough “The Bakersfield Expedition”) for a comic book convention, all dressed up in their finest Star Trek: The Next Generation regalia, and have to get some help from the townsfolk in a diner when Continue Reading
