Did I hear right? Scotty’s having dinner with Mira Romaine? That’s sweet, wasn’t she a Scotty crush from the original series...?

Well, I guess Simon’s multidimensional reality concept explains why Khan was suddenly a white guy and the inane misunderstanding of the Kirk/Spock dynamic in the last movie.. ... .. ...
Thor’s NEVER gonna make it to Greenwich like that.......
Wrong. The oops are oblique, literary even but strong.
Beautiful pastiche of appallingly ignorant right wing bullshit. Nicely done pal!
Oh God.... the cyber girlfriend. A story totally destroyed by the inane costume of the lady in question. She ought to have moved us, ought to have appeared to be injured, transgressed against and instead we got a reject Flash Gordon outfit. I mean... High heels? Really?!
"Life on Mars UK"? Is there a US take on the show now? I had no idea... really out of touch.
Moorcock's Eternal Champion in all his iterations, of course!
Again, a lovely, smart summation of the episode though we largely disagree. The episode was very poor, I think. Here's what I wrote on one of the other SF sites, keen to get my frustrations off my chest!
Also - If you want the notion of a "good Dalek" explored, the Lee Sullivan illustrated (I forget the writer!) comic strip "Children of The Revolution" aces it. Apologies if this has already been mentioned.
I never get on too well with miniaturisation stories. Like "mind swaps" they seem doomed to disappoint. An excellent summation of an interesting, but flawed, episode, though. We learned little that was new last night but the Daleks en masse were superb. Like something pulled directly from the pages of the old C21…
Well....... there are at least two of us.....
The ambition revealed itself slowly and, sadly, the show was cancelled before it could truly spread its wings. Steven Mangan was superb as Dirk, though.
"The Borderlands" has a fantastic ending. Probably my favorite "found footage" style movie so far, it kicks off full of Catholicism and then veers into a sort of "folk horror" variant before giving us a final few minutes of what is, aguably, sublime Lovecraftian awfulness. I really loved it and the ending remained…
I'm a frequent lucid dreamer but those dreams in which I gain awareness of the dream state are characterized by the fuzzy edges of a typical dream, the lack of true detail that frankenPC mentions in his reply. In other words - aware of them or not - they are clearly still dreams I'm having.
I'd been looking forward to The Machine for some time and I wasn't disappointed. Quite the opposite, in fact, as the low budget action flick I was anticipating turned out to be something reflective, moving and subtle. The mood and message of the piece came back to haunt me over the next day or two and, for me, that's…
Nolan's movie is well scripted and manages to be completely different from the source novel while at the same time telling the same story. Thematically, it echoes Priest's obsessions while exploring them differently. Do I prefer the book? Yes, certainly but the movie is like a superb cover job of a well loved song. It…
