This episode was a humorous break from the rest of the series, which has until now, been very dark and serious. That’s not to say that this episode lacked the dark, gritty realistic traits that I love so much about the series.
Read moreBeware, the subtle biblical references throughout this review, even if they are far more obvious than the ones in the episode.
Read moreThis episode was directed by show star, Edward James Olmos, and he did a damn fine job! Unlike other episodes, Callis didn’t not steal the show with his antics. Instead the humour and story-lines were pretty well spread out amongst the... Read more
This is likely one of the best first episodes in sci fi history. If you’re a die-hard original series fan, hoping that new series will falter and prove to be an embarrassment for all involved: now is the time to give up all hope.
Read moreAfter and incredible four hour miniseries, and a more amazing series pilot, it hard not to be disappointed by this week’s episode. Not because that episode was bad, or that it failed to live up to the quality of the previous 5 hours.
Read moreThis was another strong episode for the series, but not as strong as the season opener 33 in my humble opinion. Bastille Day might have passed for some people as an action episode, but much like last week; most of the action was in the... Read more
Pretty good show actually and David Albiston did a great job on the photography. The chessboard was great too. I particularly liked the little cogs and wheels glimpsed as each pieces moved around the board.

Read moreThis plot seemed familiar. It’s loosely based off of Galactica 1980’s “The Return of a Starbuck”
Read moreThere’s lots of nice animation sequences with plenty of sci-fi influences. Not a bad way to spend almost half an hour . . . But I still have questions.
Read moreIt started out decent enough with the ancients (stupid name I think… I mean do they call themselves the ancients? probably not) leaving earth by blasting off in a city – I’m not making this up.
Read moreFry originally hails from the 20th century like most of us. He had a dead end job as a delivery boy, a girlfriend who cheated on him, and generally nothing to look forward too.
Read moreNo great animation or spectacular storyline to hold your interest. Not that it’s a bad way to kill a half an hour. It’s still better than a half hour of most live action shows these days.
Read moreThere are some truly inspired animation moments in this episode. Fast-paced and action packed, much of the action is based on the Star Wars trilogy (4-6).
Read moreCanadian scientist guy – Dr. McKay – is in the medical lab of the Irish Geezer, they are talking a bit about the Ancient’s Activation Gene (great name) and Irish Geezer injects Canadian scientist.
Read moreI guess they gave up on it in the second season once they figured out what they were in for. A robotic Santa gone awry is a very sci-fi touch. Classic. Not a bad Christmas episode as they go. There was only a little sappiness, nothing... Read more
This episode has no shortage of inspired animation moments either. Perspective seems to be the animators’ speciality. It amazes me how much good animation I miss, simply because it’s so seamless and edited like a live-action show.

Part Dracula, part Christine and part werewolf lore, this one explores robot afterlife, Bender’s family ties and manages not to suck too badly.
