Battlestar Galactica season 2 episode 3 review: Fragged

And you figure that hed happily be anywhere else. This is a group flung together by circumstance, and hardly the militarys best of the best. They need to take action, theyre outnumbered, and they dont have much of a plan. The Chief isnt having any of that, and consequently threatens Crashdown with the same fate. But its Baltar, eventually, who proves himself a man to Number 6 by pulling the trigger....

Remakes Vs. Originals: Omega Man Vs. I Am Legend

Who will win the battle for glum post-apocalyptic supremacy…? Neville spends his days collecting useful items, and hunting down The Family. Neville goes searching for Richie, and eventually finds his corpse hanging from a rope. The family leave Neville for dead. I like this film. This may seem harsh, and a little extreme, but hear me out! The story is nothing original, and if anything lacks the explanation and direction the original had....

X-Men season 3, Vols.1, 2 & 3 review

Truly, the series was hitting its stride. I am the rocks of the eternal shore. Crash against me and be broken!. How many peoples have dreamed of my end? You are no closer than the Babylonians with their swords and fire sticks. If lines like that arent worth 20 minutes of your time, then nothing is. The last standalone episode on this disc isCold Comfort, which I should admit is one of my favourites....

From Within DVD review

Added to the lack of creativity, theres the fact that this film is just plain depressing. Its relentlessly miserable with not a shard of humour to lighten the mood. Extras are also sparse, including only a trailer and UK promo. Film: From Within is availablenow. Rating: 1 out of 5

Battlestar Galactica season 2 episode 1 review: Scattered

Its fair to say that the fit has well and truly hit the shan. Firstly, Commander Adama is critically hurt, and thus the fight is on the save his life. Then theres the implied baby of Baltar and Number Six that we saw at the end of season one. Only its not implied any more; its a girl. Not in this episode, though. Unless he has a drink in his hand....

Alternate Cover: Marvel anniversary issues reviewed

Sometimes its a true celebration of longevity. Other times its a marketing gimmick but which books were worth it, and why? At 104 pages for $5, it was pretty good value, too. The stories werent all great, but any dip in quality was made up for by sheer quantity. A fitting celebration for a 600thissue, no doubt.

Battlestar Galactica season 1 episode 12 review: Kobol’s Last Gleaming

Simon finally gets to the first half of Battlestar Galactica’s maiden season’s finale… 12. And it takes little time to get going, as we see Baltar in bed with Starbuck. And Baltar isnt best chuffed when Starbuck calls out Apollos name mid-act. Shes a weak model, apparently, but one who will see the job through. Even though nobody else can see it, Roslin is keen for it to be checked out....

Revisiting Kevin Smith’s Clerks II

Randal AfterJersey Girlfailed to light up the box office, Kevin Smith found himself in an oddly familiar situation. Managing the motley crew is Becky (Rosario Dawson). Emma arrives finding the two together and leaves Dante, throwing her engagement ring at Becky. Could there be anything else that could be added to it? Fehrman really does steal the show as virgin fanboy Elias. Smiths next move would be another bigger budget outing which finally turned his way....

Battlestar Galactica season 1 episode 10 review: The Hand Of God

The Hand Of God Earlier in the series, we had a shortage of water. Nobody said this was going to be easy. As it happens, Adama calls for Starbuck when its time to plan the assault. And she clearly doesnt like doing so. When it comes to the action itself, it seems that the plan is failing. The Cylons dont buy the decoy, and instead take on the Vipers and start heading for Galactica....

Doctor Who: The Black Guardian Trilogy DVD review

Not only that, hes a got a dead bird on his head, but more of that later. The three story mini-arc also introduced the handsome (yet evil!) Turlough but also saw the end of Nyssas time in the TARDIS. At his school we find another unearthly child, Turlough. Ad content continues below Turlough, expertly portrayed by Mark Strickson, is actually a very modern companion.

Battlestar Galactica season 1 episode 7 review: Six Degrees Of Separation

ForSix Degrees Of Separationswitches the focus onto the most fascinating character in the series thus far, Dr Baltar. Hes believably unhinged, and he makes for quite unpredictable viewing. Hes basically fitted up with supplying and placing the explosives on Capricas defence mainframe that kickstarted the Cylon attack. I love that he did that, too. Could she have morphed into someone else? Could that be Boomer? The way she stroked and admired the Cylon fighter....
