So here we are after the final heat of Robot Wars 2016 and what an utter load of rubbish the episode largely was, with most of the fights ended due to mechanical problems than anything else.

Another two episodes. One about hard line military thinking and another about hippy-dippy spiritual nonsense.

Welcome back to another Friday Open Thread, where any mention or discussion of the Gawker auction is taken to mean you’ve going overboard.

Two more episodes today. One where O’Neill is forced to live as a peasant and another where O’Neill joins the NID.

The first trailer for the upcoming totally not a Day The Earth Stood Still film showcases the aliens arriving in places all over the world with many sites making sense, such as Montana in the US which does have a large number of Minuteman III silos or Venezuela which has many key oil reserves. One of the places they…

On Robot Wars tonight not only did we see a bunch of robots slug it out but a contestant finally having the balls to deliberately take on the House Robots and beat them.

Two great episodes from Season 3 today. One involving the trial of a Goa’uld and another where a famous comedian invades the team’s minds.

Well here we are yet again in what could be the last ODeck Friday Open Thread depending on how the Gawker auction goes and given how the entire staff are portraying a ‘fuck it’ attitude I’m guessing they’re pessimistic.

The Sokar two-parter is here tonight and ain’t it a mixed bag.

Another week, another episode of Robot Wars, and my word did we see some weird robots this week. Straight of the bat was the students from Falkirk who built Overdoser, a robot built out of MDF. No prizes guessing how their campaign ended.

Science-Fiction as a TV genre has always been one to indulge in healthy debates and thought exercises on topics that effect all of us and our futures, whether it be the fundamental threat of advanced Artificial Intelligence in Person of Interest or looking at the sort of society we want to become in the various forms…

Two standalone episodes today. I’ve decided to skip episode 12 and go straight to episode 14, instead doing the Jolinar’s Memories two parter on Wednesday together.

Yes it’s that time of the week again where people laugh and dance their way out of the office to go off to the weekend, or at least in their heads they do.

Two relatively interesting episodes today, that try new ideas on the show to good effect.

Here we are with episode two of the rebooted series and while still getting better and better it was still a mixed bag affair. Once again there were 8 competitors quickly worked down to a notable four.

Two ‘monster of the week’ episodes today. One an example of the show at its best and the other an example of a misstep.

Welcome back to another Friday Open Thread, where we all talk about our plans for the weekend and vent about the week.

And here we are with another two episodes from the SGC. The former with child labourers and destruction of artifacts and the seeing another shot up alternate reality.

Robot Wars, the cult British TV show that alongside Scrapheap Challenge encapsulated the ‘man and his shed’ amateur engineering spirit, returned tonight in a much anticipated reboot and unlike Top Gear it didn’t disappoint.

Here we are with another two episode with the first adding more to the Goa’uld and Asgard while the latter is a rushed effort at mental illness.
