Arrow, the television series based on the Green Arrow character from DC Comics is nearing the end of its first season and is officially the network’s #1 show! Not surprising, the show is actually pretty good. Creators Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim, Andrew Kreisberg have woven a tale about an every-man hero in a dark and dangerous [...]
About two months ago at PaleyFest, Arrow executive producer Andrew Kreisberg was asked which characters from DC Comics’ roster of heroes he’d like to see on the show. Almost immediately, Kreisberg answered: “Dick Grayson and Nightwing were always my favorite. I doubt we’ll ever get to that point. The bat-universe will never coincide with ours, but Nightwing [...]
‘Boob-plate’ armor…only the finest armor any female warrior in an epic fantasy story could wear, right? You know what I’m talking about…the kind of armor that not only protects female warriors (unlike bikini-mail (and don’t bother trying to google, it because all you’ll find are pictures of guys in skimpy, bikini bottoms…trust me, I know *shudders*) [...]
Depending on what Star Wars camp you’re in you either love or hate the Clone Wars. The animated TV series takes place between Episodes 2 and 3 of the Star Wars Saga and charts the three odd years of the intergalactic civil war that played a pivotal role in Darth Sidious’ plan for ultimate domination. [...]
Nerd Byte: 5/4/13 was Free Comic Book day, as if you didn’t know. Eleven years to the day after the inaugural event in 2002, which was one day after the opening of the first Spider-Man movie. It was intended to be a day for retailers to draw in new customers, especially the kids who will drive the [...]
Screw making this a monthly thing. I’ll write one of these whenever I damn well please! And with that declaration of intent, I unfortunately have to announce the cancellation of Futurama…again. Yes, everyone’s been making that joke, but it just goes to show how much of an impact the show has made since it first [...]
I’m not gonna lie, this was a bit of an odd episode for me. We have two plot threads, the A-plot involving Karai’s pursuit of April and the B-plot involving the turtles’ mission to destroy a Kraang underwater base. There are two “lessons” introduced as well: the concept of allowing someone to handle a problem [...]
Filming for the 50th anniversary episode of Doctor Who is underway in various locations across the UK, and eagle-eyed fans have snapped some interesting photos that have set fandom ablaze on the forum boards! WARNING: The things you see cannot be unseen. Proceed at the risk of the wide-eyed, innocent nine-year old that resides inside [...]
Looking at the Defiance IMDB page is like glancing at the Sci-Fi family tree. Created, written, and produced by veterans of the genre Rockne S. O’Bannon (Farscape, Alien Nation, SeaQuest), Kevin Murphy (Caprica, Reaper), and Michael Taylor (Battlestar Galactica, The Dead Zone, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager), the show has roots in so many [...]
I believe it was Michelangelo quoting Master Splinter in a previous episode when he said, “The enemy of my enemy is my bro!” While that may have been an approximation, the words are no less true in the case of this week’s episode that makes sure the quote is front and center at all times. [...]
TV shows. We love our entertainment in bite sized, weekly servings. But some shows don’t make it more than one or two seasons (some not even to that, Day One for example, one of my favorites from last years upfronts never saw the light of day.) So today’s WordSearch of the Nerd features TV shows [...]
With just over seven months to travel on the “slow path” to the Doctor Who 50th anniversary episode in late November, casting announcements have begun to materialize. One week after the official BBC press release that David Tennant (The Tenth Doctor) and Billie Piper (Rose Tyler) would be returning for the anniversary celebration, fans hoping [...]
I missed one! I done gone and missed an episode of TMNT! Bad! That’s a bad, Sam! No biscuits and no Doctor Who for at least a week…alright, you can watch Doctor Who whenever you want. I can never say no to you. Not with those puppy dog eyes and the quivering lip right before [...]
I’m very surprised that Doctor Who Executive Producer Steven Moffat (the man responsible for many statue-related nightmares in children and adults) hasn’t created an entire villainous race called The Spoilers. Evil, wraith-like beings who appear to us at a moment of indecision and whisper the outcome of the choice we’re about to make. “Hector, [...]
Before the dawn of video tapes and digital recordings, back in the days when Star Trek had no subtitle or surname, there were very few ways of experiencing new adventures of the original crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise. There was a short-lived animated series, a handful of 45 and 331/3 records with a limited amount [...]
Not to be content with only two franchises with the word “star” in the title, J.J. Abrams is reportedly in talks to reboot the popular, and long-running, Stargate franchise. Starting in 1994 with the cult classic, Stargate, starring Kurt Russell and James Spader, the movie inspired a television spin-off, SG-1, in 1997 starring Richard Dean [...]
It was a LONG wait, but season 3 of Game of Thrones is finally underway. This season is starting with a bang and not the whimper season 2 started with last year. I know we’re only one episode in, but it seems that more has happened already in one episode than what happened in half [...]
Bad Wolf! Bad Wolf! Bad Wolf! Bad Wolf! Bad Wolf! Bad Wolf! Bad Wolf! Bad Wolf! Bad Wolf! Bad Wolf! Bad Wolf! Bad Wolf! Bad Wolf! Bad Wolf! The BBC has officially announced this morning that David Tennant and Billie Piper will be returning to Doctor Who for the 50th Anniversary special, set to air [...]
Doctor Who returns to our screens on Saturday March 30th on BBC America at 8PM/7C in The Bells of St. John. The BBC have released a special prequel webisode written by Steven Moffat, set just after the Christmas Special The Snowmen and prior to the first episode of the second half of Series 7. The [...]
When laying out his plans in the tone meeting for Doctor Who Series 7, Executive Producer Steven Moffat said, “I want slutty titles and movie-poster plots. I want big pictures and straplines!” To date, each episode of Series 7 has been previewed with a big-budget style “movie” poster, and the first round for the second [...]
