Super Sci-fi Geek Out
This sci-fi round-up is long overdue ...
I was worried about waiting a whole year for a new season of Battlestar Galactica, but the new season starts in July! Frakkin' eh! It's not like that time when we had to wait a year and a half for new episodes of Six Feet Under (which starts its fifth and final season in June).
All over the internets, people seem giddy and hopeful that the new Star Wars movie (Episode 3: A George Lucas Digital Autobiography) isn't going to suck. Even Kevin Smith weighed in after seeing a preview:
"Revenge of the Sith" is, quite simply, fucking awesome.
Listen, when you're leaving the theatre in a few weeks the only thing you'll be thinking is, "it's quite simply fucking awesome that a movie is capable of being such a complete and total piece of shit." What's worse is that Lucas is compounding the abuse by launching not one, but TWO Star Wars-based tv series. I think one series is called Young Ewok Adventures Chronicles and the other is called THX Cantina Sing-a-long Variety Hour with Frank Oz.
Despite having a strong final season, the 2-part Mirror universe episode of Enterprise was kind of crappy. Maybe George Lucas wrote and directed it. The mirror universe politics were pointless and boring and only highlighted how little the ensemble's characters have been developed. It was high on the lame, low on the wanking. If you're gonna have a wanker episode, WANK GODAMMIT! Mitigating factor: in the scene when Captain Forrest burns up, we see that he really is made of cardboard.
Sam Raimi has Evil Dead plans. Will Ferrell is starring in a Land of the Lost movie. If you were looking for one, there's your reason to live. Have you been watching Doctor Who? Very good revival.
So, I got caught up on the Smallville episodes I missed. Just make the freakin' Fortress of Solitude already before the series becomes a Fortress of Suck-itude. Funny joke, eh? The show is starting to drag ... really drag. The first few seasons had a good pace, but now it seems stuck. And they really screwed up the Lana character with all of that witch crap. If I want witch crap I'll watch Touched by an Angel reruns. The Lana/Clark relationship was much more interesting when she was just a dumbass going nowhere. As soon as they made her "special", it killed the tension. I think I wrote about that already. Well, it's worse now.
I seriously tried to watch Firefly but I dunno, it seemed sort of lame. And by "sort of lame" I mean "my eyes glazed over, I started to drool and woke up three hours later in some field". So don't ask me why they made a movie out it. You don't see Strancynski making a movie out of Crusade.
Ok, I gotta take Zack out for a pee. If I get popped, I blame society. You can find sci-fi news and reviews at Bureau42.
