The movie's fun, but I highly recommend reading the book. There are wonderful turns of phrase in his writing that cannot translate to the screen. (Besides, in my head I read Moist von Lipwig as Cary Grant, and Katherine Hepburn as Adora Belle Dearheart. Stanley is played by Dean Venture from the Venture Brothers. :D )

I'll be honest. I was more than a bit disappointed to learn at the end of the season 2 finale that they were continuing the flashback stuff. I was hoping season 2 would have been the end of that and they could now focus exclusively on the present day stuff.

Not sure if it has been mentioned yet, but Angel - season 5. Easily the best season of any show that has ever aired, in my mind. The season has a lot of humour but 2 episodes are just pure liquid heartbreak - "A Hole in the World" and "Not Fade Away".

Yes! Yes! A thousand times yes!

I mean, the explanation is that he's the Anti-Christ. His desires and willpower have been altering reality for more or less the entire action of the novel (recall when Dog first shows up and he's huge and terrifying but overhears Adam describing how he'd *want* his dog to look and the dog changes shape, or how his…

Vincent and the Doctor

Name: Good Omens by Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman

Five minutes after the werecorgis tweet was posted, an emergency, all-hands meeting was called in the SyFy Channel's writer pool.

"Hello, Horsefuckers! Who takes the Pandorica takes the fucking Universe! But, I'm afraid I've got some bad fucking news everyone, 'cause guess who? Your worst nightmare after that one about your mother and the serrated strapon! Ha! Except, you wankers, you're all whizzing about, it's really very distracting. Could…

Werecorgis! They can't be stopped!

I would read the fuck out of a book about werecorgis.

I'm not 100% sure if it qualifies as sci-fi, but Strange Luck. Why the hell isn't this show on DVD? It had the best premise ever, which was to have a guy who attracted really weird coincidences. If he walks into a bank, it gets robbed. If he takes an elevator, he'll end up having to deliver a baby. If he goes on a…

The first season of "Doctor Who" (current series). It was so much fun. There wasn't this feeling of throwing a hundred different concepts against the wall and seeing what stuck. Billie Piper's Rose was an outstanding companion Christopher Eccleston gave a superb, multi-layered performance as the Doctor.

Wow, really? I thought the first season was pretty engaging and dropped off half way through the second. Everyone suddenly got stupid and motivations seemed to be "that's what the script says" in season 2. Seriously, every episode had at least one WTF moment went someone did something that was completely dumb…

Granted, it's the continuation of the preceding 26 year-long series, but it's basically a reboot of the series, and thus the introductory season. Brand-new Doctor, brand-new companion, brand-new mythology. A fantastic start, that hooked an entire generation of youngsters, myself included.

Its first season made it an instant classic. It was like one part Buffy\Angel, one part Ghostbusters, and directed by Kevin Smith.
