Firefly: S01E06: Shindig

It’s back to one of the central planets for today’s episode. No more of this dusty badlands wild west desert stuff, but instead a refined city atmosphere. And evidently I’m not the only one who’s excited, most of the crew are also stoked about arriving on Persephone.

Time to introduce Fry, a twenty something pizza delivery boy with nothing to live for. He’s just been dumped by his live-in-girlfriend and is stuck delivering pizza’s on New Years Eve 1999. And I thought New Years 99 sucked for me…

Tripping the Rift: S01E10: Aliens, Guns, and a Monkey TV Show

Tripping the Rift: S01E10: Aliens, Guns, and a Monkey

One of the strong points to this episode was that it returned to some of its more computer short roots. Most obviously by changing the opening credits a tad. Much like the computer short, the final “t” in Rift fell over in the final seconds of the intro.

Futurama: S01E02: The Series has Landed

One of the difficult things about a writing a review for an older episode is trying to put everything in perspective. No matter what show, early episodes usually suck when compared with material found in later seasons.

Futurama: S01E03: I, Roommate TV Show

Futurama: S01E03: I, Roommate

So that’s it folks. It was quick episode with very little sci fi or plot. But FOX got just what they wanted and in the Future they were careful what they wished for with Futurama. Another random FYI, is that Bender’s room number 0101000 is 40 in base two.

Tripping the Rift: Cultures: Harmonia 7 TV Show

Tripping the Rift: Cultures: Harmonia 7

Since science fiction worlds are never diverse and only single mindedly represent one view point, then magnify it a thousand fold, this world can only have one trait: and that is to be the trigger happy, gun slingin’ planet.

Futurama: People: Zapp Brannigan TV Show

Futurama: People: Zapp Brannigan

Captain. Hero. Lover. Gifted. Handsome. Extraordinary Lover. That’s the way Zapp Brannigan would describe himself to most people. Those people wouldn’t be so charitable. In fact, those people would describe the captain of the Nimbus as an insensitive, ignorant, pompous jerk.
