Review: Legend of the Seeker: Identity

no@spam.com (Tracy Morris) — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 14:45:49 EST

Switched identity episodes are always fun. It's a laugh to see young Jodi Foster in the original Freaky Friday, or older Jamie Curtis in the remake. Willow assumed another identity in Buffy. I dream of seeing the body swap happen to Sam and Dean on Supernatural. Over in Smallville they're recycling the plot for a second time in a row. Emenem parlayed it into a hit with The Real Slim Shady. Hardees is even doing it with the Bistro burger in their commercials.

So the premise for Identity looks interesting.

Review: Legend of the Seeker - "Elixir"

You guys are all familiar with that scene in Star Wars, Aren't you?

You know, the one where Ben is teaching Luke all about the Force while traveling to Aalderann on the Millennium Falcon. In order to show Luke that the Force is more trustworthy than Luke's eyes, he covers them, and then has him practice with his lightsaber. Somehow, you just knew that was going to come up again during the climactic moment.

So you might get a sense of Déjà Vu watching Elixir. Especially during the opening scene where Zed is having Cypher practice his swordsmanship with invisible fruit.

Buffy, Not Firefly, Becomes Fox MMOG of the Hour

Earlier this year, Firefly fans were excited at the announcement that the Multiverse Network was putting together an MMOG based on the Firefly/Serenity universe. Now Fox has apparently cancelled the franchise once again, choosing to promote instead a new MMOG based on Buffy the Vampire Slayer...

Dr. Horrible Part 2: Joss Goes Meta.

Joss Whedon is always at his best when he's using storytelling as a metaphor. Buffy The Vampire Slayer was about how high school is really hell, Angel proved that lawyers really were evil and let's not get into all the ways that Joss showed that sex is a bad idea.

So it's no surprise that Act II of Whedon's hit web-series Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog has a little food for thought mixed in amongst the freeze rays and melodies.

Interview with Keith R.A. DeCandido

no@spam.com (barbara mountjoy) — Sun, 01 Jun 2008 19:16:51 EDT

Author, musician, actor, competition-level martial artist--Keith R.A. DeCandido is talented on so many levels, it is more than fair to call him a modern Renaissance man. The best-selling writer is probably best known for his SF media tie-in books, based on series such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Star Trek, but he's spreading out and taking New York as well.

Episode Review: Moonlight 1.15: What's Left Behind. Mick and Beth are the new Nick and Nora Charles.

no@spam.com (Tracy Morris) — Mon, 12 May 2008 12:25:49 EDT

Last week's episode, Click, left some very big questions. What would Beth do now that she's quit Buzzwire? Would Mick find out that she and Josef conspired to murder a pesky paparazzi? What about their relationship, since they're now officially dating?

This week gave us an answer to the question of Beth's job search, as well as a look into Mick's pre-Coraline past and gave the couple a few questions to chew on about the meaning of family. All while they thwarted a serial killer/kidnapper.

Episode Review: Moonlight 1.13, Fated to pretend: In LA, Beth Turner is the only human.

After a long hiatus where nobody was sure there would be any more season one episodes, seeing Mick, Beth, Josef and the rest of the crew was exciting. And exciting is also a good word to sum up this episode.

Episode review: Moonlight's The Ringer; Love makes you Crazy.

The course of true love never did run smooth; -- William Shakespeare

Love makes you do the wacky – William the Bloody

When you love crazy people, it makes you crazy. Just ask Mick St. John. Fifty years ago, he married a woman named Coraline. But she neglected to tell him a slight detail. No, it's not that she was one spring roll short of an all-you-can eat Chinese buffet. She was, but that's a minor detail compared to the big secret: She was a vampire. Mick found that out the hard way, when she turned him into one as well.
