Oh yes, that wonderful feeling when a cancelled series gets a 2nd chance. It usually never happens. Well, it happened to FAMILY GUY. And to JERICHO, even though I don’t know anybody who liked the show, but I guess because one of the AIN’T IT COOL NEWS writers started the campaign, the media attention helped. [...]
And my flight through the FIREFLY universe comes to an end. Will the final three episodes reach the quality of ARIEL or even top it, completely blow my mind and get me finally addicted for life? Nah, they didn’t. Woah, 2 people like this post. Like Unlike
Seems like I’m almost done with the show. That was quicker than expected. And in its final half, FIREFLY comes up with some seriously strong episodes. OUT OF GAS is not one of them. It’s a well-intended flashback episode, that shows us how the crew of the Serenity got together, while in the present (which [...]
Here we go now, with two real fan favourites, from what I’ve heard. In OUR MRS REYNOLDS, we learn that not even SciFi shows are immune against ye olde sitcom plot of somebody waking up and finding out that he or she got married last night. This time it hits Captain Reynolds and he would [...]

So if I get this right, this episode was what FOX originally decided to air as pilot, after they rejected the original one. I’m not saying that they were right when they did that, because you miss out on a whole lot of more or less important background info, if you don’t watch the real [...]
Okay, so there is this science fiction show called FIREFLY. It lasted only 15 episodes and the theatrical movie that came afterwards, wasn’t a record breaker either. That’s okay, I won’t hold it against it. Some of my favourite TV shows and movies were cancelled early or tanked hard at the box office. It also [...]
Man, during the last decade or so, lots and lots of movies from the horror sector, where overhyped as “new cult sensation” without really deserving it. When we were lucky, they had at least an interesting premise to start with, but unfortunately lacked the right script or directorial skills to prevent it from running out [...]
“Fan” is a short form of “fanatic”. I don’t know if this is true or just one of these popculture myths like “Beam me up, Scotty”, but it sounds pretty plausible. Everybody is a fan of someone or -thing and we all know the urge to defend our favourite stuff. And depending on who we [...]
